This explains why those Vietnamese cars need reliable engine and transmission swaps even if it is Honda or Toyota. For their electric cars, Tesla Technology swaps are a must.
I live part time in VN. I do not recommend any foreigner drive there. You can be an excellent driver in the US but the rules and culture in Vietnam will befuddle you. Taxis are cheap. Airlines are cheap. Your liability as a foreigner with $$$ is huge and any accident could cost you Billions of VND. If you must buy a car, hire your own driver. I live near Da Lat. I plan to buy a truck for practical reasons. My Vietnam relatives will do the driving. I am not Viet Kieu, just an old average white guy with far to much to lose by driving in Vietnam.
How is the real estate market near Dalat?
Is it better to rent ?
What about further out in the mountains?
That makes sense mate! However many foreigners came to Vietnam and really enjoy their own driving experience despite the horrific way of driving, local people 😊
@DaveEPie considering you can't own a property as a foreigner in Vietnam so renting is definitely better.
Im in Vietnam every year and drive all over Vietnam, i have my own motorcykel in Saigon at my wifes cuisin and the traffic is sometimes hard but when you understand how it works its no problem.
Very informative video! Glad you did this video as it help explains the process for getting a license and motorbike/car purchase. Now I just have to wait for you guys to finish processing my passport paperwork through VN embassy.
Finally we see some outtakes and a smile from Ken! Gotta have some fun with the videos for your viewers brother! 😉🙏🤙
I don't mind riding in places like Hoi An on a motorbike, but in Hanoi or Ho chi Minh City I would rather use a taxi or have a driver. With regards to driving a car I don't recommend it as a foreigner. I wouldn't drive a car anywhere in Asia as the traffic is insane.
Ken nice video lots of great information. Graphics really help enhance the quality. You are a natural host
Thanks for the compliment and watching our video.
As an American who once owned my own motorbike I've driven way over 2000km in VN, mostly in HCMC. It's so much fun! 😊
Had to leave VN for a while so I had to sell the bike but still visit at least once a year when I borrow or rent.
Driven and rode there for years. No problem. Your peripheral vision improves incredibly.
Thanks for the updates.
My husband is Vietnamese and I’m Kenyan American. We’re planning to move to permanently to Vietnam soon and hopefully start our family there. We will definitely need a car once we start having kiddos. All this information is so overwhelming. I’m so nervous about everything we have to do to move successfully.
I got a Vietnamese driver's license, it was only € 5,- to acquire, the main issue is that the translation of my Dutch driver's license was € 80,-.
Do not drive!!! Especially super cars, they will smash into your car with their bike and you’ll be the one paying for the damages. I learned it the hard way😂😂😂
If everything required locals to happen, then VN is not foreign friendly country. Hence, good luck to VN for its further endeavors.
Thank you for the info.
What about all the “NN” licence plates on foreign owned vehicles? Many of those especially in Phu My Hung and those vehicles are simply owned outright by foreigners.
good to know and thanks.
Thank you 😊 thank you! I got my license just showing my foregn licence being translated to Vietnamese 2 copies 200000dong!but we left 2020 and I've been trying to research best options! I was thinking pay cash! Suzuki van or duel cab ford... I'm happy put my wife name as my multiple entree visa good for 6moths out 30 days!
Thanks Ken
Import and export for temporary personal use or repair . Could you make video on that. Thanks
You should also know that insurance in Vietnam will only cover the funeral cost, I mean a very cheap one. It does not even cover burial cost.
I really love the bloopers part at the end of the video 😂
Wow so cool 👍👌❤️ 🇻🇳
Ken, What about importing your vehicle from the country you are coming from into Vietnam? Is that an option? Thanks!
Possible but very difficult.
How about electric bikes? Or electric motorbikes? Do you still need a license for those? I remember about 15 years ago, you only need a license for gas powered vehicle or bikes.
Whats the law on electric 3 wheel vehicles 600 watt 35 klm max per hour for mobility use? Also how do i apply for a prc. passport. I have vietnamese spouse. I have been here 12 months so far on partner visa renew every 6 months.. and i support myself, wife and son. Thanks keep up the great work..
How about insurance coverages? Maybe next show..
Great guy
What about insurance requirements?
Man I hope you're still making these videos in 10-15 years when I'm ready to go start my expat life after my kids are grown and I can sell my house and move my wife and I there. I'm sure the rules and laws will change some more by then
Question to whoever recorded: is this what the RODE GO Wireless sounds like when clipping?
200000 Dong to Veitnam license! No never resided for 3 months! Covers A2,B1 cost of trancelation another 200000 Dong so 400000 Dong! I believe this covers any cc on moter bikes and up to 9 seats for car ??? And yes my spouse visa 5 yrs multiple entry 6 months! 😊👍
Thank you. Is Vietnam left or right hand drive ? Thanks
Left.
@duongglobalbusinessconsulting
Vietnam drive on the right.... when drivers look straight ahead.... they are on the right side of the road
how about vinfast or electric cars?
If you’re a foreigner, I avoid it riding or driving if you can. Even with all the proper paperwork, too many corrupt officials that can ruin your day.
Can I convert my IDP license to an IAA license?
Only 40.000 per exam? Theory and practice? I would try a lot of time. How many times a month can take the exam?
I have a VN motorbike license back in 2007 without expiration date. Do you think I can still use my license to ride a motorbike?
Should be.
I like the way you explain the topic, the only problem is you are moving your hands too much and it becomes very distracting to viewers.
It’s not a good idea to get dual citizenship if you already a US citizen. In case something happens in Vn, the US will not get involved since you use the Vn passport to enter Vn to get away from getting a visa.
Hello, Duong i have questions can they become Citizenship without a birth certificate if they are vietnamese.
Did you just watch our latest Short video?
For the international driving license, it actually seems to be the opposite. You have to have an IDP not an IAA.
No. As just mentioned in the video, the IDP is no longer accepted in Vietnam. Thanks for relying on our law firm for Vietnam matters.
Foreign driver licenses, even when accompanied by an international driving permit, are not valid in Vietnam. Even though a driver’s license from an ASEAN country may be recognized in certain circumstances as valid in Vietnam, it is still advised to obtain a local Vietnamese driver’s license if you wish to drive legally in Vietnam.
I walk everywhere except to and from the airport. SEasia should be more like Holland where bicycles rule.
These are actually scooters and to be more precise you can get a real motorbike like the Honda Cb650r or Yamaha MT07 new and from a certified dealership for around 10.000USD or 230mil VND
Huh so if you buy a car in Vietnam you pay triple car plus taxes
So you buy one car you give government two cars …what’s a ripoff
Ken, you forgot, e-scooters..mobile and easy to transport. BRICS partner countries, registered, registrations, Licenses, Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, Copyrighted brands and materials, Franchisees, Licensees Holders. *****IMPORTANT******Qui lai Vietnam.
50cc motorbikes do not require any driving licenses.
How do i drive there if i rented a car when i visit? Do i need a driver license?
You could what the video first. All the answers to your questions are in there.
Question? Placeing a car under a Vietnamese citizen name ? I'll use an example.. I just called her to real estate woman brink women .. I think she said she only owned 15% of the business that was in real estate ya correct me if I'm wrong I believe she said investors gave her money to invest Yes.. so I believe under the law that was illegal yes ? Just say we did do something illegal.. want to be best to get like in marriage and mirrors they call it a prenuptial agreement.. once you have open disclosure via video audio and written contract who the real owner is and who paid and any side deals made. A personal note a friend of mine who was a famous writer from south Korea he had a car and a company ( I'll not say what country) but in short I was told the three girls that he helped, food housing paid for schooling put them sisters in business for many many years took all he had. everything gown. What would be your advice? There's another Korean man he had a wife.. the white kidnapped his child without him knowing she ran away with her boyfriend to a different city.. she stoled over 5,000 cash she wasn't able to get the red deed hover property that I was told was valued over 300,000.. what legal recourse would the Korean one-time famous movie star being have been in the foreigner liveing in a different country ( I'll not say what country). I have many more stories.. we talked in the past you know I like to write a book and I like to get some help and add people who have experienced a lie.. a con game. Be well buddy 🙏
I wonder if anyone knows if you can buy a 125 2-stroke motorcycle??????
Buying a car is a debt only. Use taxis instead.
isnt a dumb idea when u buy a car in vietnam
1. meet the luxury person must go by car
2. picking up item
3. u are on highway the vietnam traffic required u must run over 110km/h thats mean if u ride a motorcycle with 120km/h in highway vietnam you will be scared
So nlce
I was lucky enough to drive an Audi R8 when it first came out in Vietnam.
Didn't have an international drivers licence.
Didn't care, was more worried about getting into an accident. 😂
Hi 👋 Mr Ken Duong! My name is van tran , I’m 🇺🇸 USA citizen ,I have been retired about 3 years ago ,and came to Vietnam ,and living since February 2022 , with my girlfriend, my girl friend Vietnamese until this present time, and my girlfriend , she’s pregnant about 4 months ago,and now I would like to do a. Paper works to respond my girlfriend and a pregnancy baby, come to America, what ,and how should I have to do with paper works ?, could you help me to do ? Thankfully for your reading and regarding! Be safe / healthy / happiness/ and good luck 🍀👍😮and please inform me as soon as you can ❕❕❕
Please send us an email detailing your case and we will review it.
If you have any contacts / friends that advise regarding drivers licenses from ASEAN countries let me say having a Thailand mororbike license an IDP dos NOT add anything either informational or Vietnamese language a it is English already, clear expiration date and has a picture of a motorbike. Thailand issues 2 discreet plastic licenses, one for car and one for motorbike and car license has picture of car. The IDP adds a layer of totally unnecessary time and expense for Thai's thinking of visiting as well as mom Thai's with Thai licenses. Requiring an IDP may backfire and result in Thailand and other ASEAN countries doing the same to hassle/impede Vietnamese tourists.
Heck, with the Viet Nam passport, We called it a blood passport.
Incorrect. I have 1 motorbike and 1 car that were registered under my name. The license plate numbers always related to your country, for an example, 59-XXX-NN-001 and 51-NN-XXX-01 where XXX is your country code and NN identify foreigner.
What is incorrect?
yea, i rather drive those moped rather buying anything like car or a house... thank you.
Car is just for showing off your wealth. I drove a car in Việt nam once. I hate it, so hard to find a parking and you have to look out for bikers and people... I rather get a motorbike ... lol
when u in a highway u will know it
Why you boss or sank
Pensei que no Vietnã não tinha essas feiras de super carros por conta do regime socialista 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I wait soon
Such a foreigner friendly country lol
Send me visa passport soon no let other I go another country
Don't west time
You have car send 2 car soon
⛔ Whatever the fees and taxes he tells you.......add 80% to total for BRIBES! BRIBES BRIBES! aka LOBBYING. FOR EVERYTHING
I would just hire a driver. It's probably cost about 1k USD a month.
WE SCARED BUY CAR VINFAST VIETCONG NO GOOD DRIVER AND NO GOOD SAFETY
