The vast majority of expats in Vietnam use a motorbike for transportation. If you use a motorcycle here then you are required to have a valid Vietnamese Driver License. If you are stopped by the police for any reason and cannot provide this, then the bike can be seized and you will be forced to pay fines of 2-4 million to have the bike returned, and for not being in possession of a Driver License.
It is a simple process to obtain your license. If you have a valid license from your home country, we arrange for it to be translated and notarized by the Department of Vehicles and Transportation. You will then be issued with a new Vietnamese License which is valid for the same period as your foreign license. It enables you to drive the same vehicles as listed on your foreign license.
If you do not have a foreign driver license, you can complete a simple motorbike driving test and obtain a new Vietnamese License which is valid for life.
Requirements for Driver License:
- Completed application form
- Original foreign driver license and a notarized translation
- Original and photocopy of the applicant’s passport along with a valid visa for Vietnam
- 4 passport photographs (3 photos of 3cmx4cm and 1photo of 2cmx3cm)
