Vietnamese driving license information

Foreigners can indeed get a VN licence, usually for the same classification of vehicle and time limit as their overseas licence.  I have a full VN driving licence for car and motorbike, without time limit, because I sat for and passed the road rules test in the Vietnamese language.

Thanks Ralph for the confirmation. Well meaning folks sometimes pass erroneous information. To the expat wannabes like me, we need factual not anecdotal information. Thanks again

Ralph congratulations its no small feat to pass the test in Vietnamese.

..???    ..we would agree, but...

Standing beside his better half..?   

How could he fail?         

Bazza you bad....lol.. better that than no better half at all. I would surely flunk the test because I'm stuck with the worst half, namely me... he,he

This was case before, but now it is only as long your Visa is valid.





And yes, you only need your license and translation of it.

Or you do as so many locals.. you pay.. then you are pointed the right answers.... that might be the reason why so many people don't know how to drive in roundabouts...
