Wish I ran into this forum 3 years ago lol!
I was in HCM and had no clue how to change my dutch drivers license into a vietnamese one. People were very friendly so it all worked out fine. Got 4 pages of A4 format filled with signatures
I was told my motor license was legal for lifetime, but my car license would expel in 5 years. Is this true?
Where can I extend my car drivers license? WIll go back to Vietnam later this year.

Thanks for the help

They use the expiry date on your Foreign licence, ( they have on my Aus car licence ), so really it's only a translated copy, but VN legal.
There was a聽 thread on here on licences a few months back, saying now they only give you a licence for the length of your Visa, maybe someone with a TRC can verify this.

@Cvco: the above link about getting new licence. Read this link, you can change your driver licence.

Bloody marvelous website, how about translating it for us?, ( Google Translate is hopeless ).

bluenz, actually my blue highlight above was the google translation and it reads ok.

In HER link, the law mentions the exchange licence following the term of the existing licence but doesnt refer to any foreigners, so it seems the beginning portion of the law (my blue above) applies to foreigners, hence the scare about language. (dont ask me im trying to learn these rules--and web presentation of Viet laws!)

So what qualifies as a NEW licence? If im exchanging, i dont need to be proficient in the Viet language but if i didnt have a motorbike licence before, thats a NEW licence and therefore i have to prove language proficiency?

Half the people in here didnt ride a bike before.....uh-oh......

That's strange, because when i opened it , it was in VN???
When i sat my M\b licence here, ( I already had my VN car licence ), the testers told my wife to shout up, and all she was doing was telling me where to write my name and address on the form you have to fill in before the practical test , it was in Viet, I almost made a scene,聽 and they looked too scared to stop my wife the next time she talked to me.

Many have said they were able to get the VN license without doing the theory test (just the driving test) because they had a regular driver's license (no motorcycle endorsement) from their own country.

What's this stuff about 'exchanging'? Do they actually take your original license? Because I kinda need mine. Plus I don't want to think about where it and the info it contains could potentially end up if surrendered...
