Electric Scooter Rental In Da Nang For Foreigners: What Documents And Driving Licence Do You Need?

Rent an electric scooter in Da Nang with 365GO. Learn Vietnam's licence rules, required documents, no-deposit rentals and free battery swaps.

Planning to explore Da Nang on two wheels? Riding along My Khe Beach, discovering local food spots, or visiting the Dragon Bridge sounds like a great way to experience the city. But before renting a motorbike, many international visitors have one important question:

Is my foreign driving licence valid in Vietnam?

Not every foreign driving licence is automatically recognised in Vietnam. However, certain low-speed electric mopeds fall into a vehicle category that does not require a driving licence under Vietnamese law.

At 365GO Electric Scooter Rental in Da Nang, international visitors can rent VinFast Evo Lite electric scooters with a straightforward process: no security deposit, no original passport held, unlimited free battery swaps at supported locations, and 24/7 technical assistance from Eco365.

This guide explains Vietnam's driving licence requirements, which electric scooters may be ridden without a licence, what documents you need, and how to book your 365GO scooter online.

Discover Da Nang with 365GO electric scooter rentals, simple documentation and dedicated technical support.

Is a Foreign Driving Licence Valid in Vietnam?

Yes, in certain circumstances. However, not all foreign driving licences are recognised in Vietnam.

Whether you can legally ride a motorcycle depends on the country that issued your licence, the licence category, its validity and the type of vehicle you intend to ride.

Under Vietnam's Law on Road Traffic Order and Safety No. 36/2024/QH15, effective from January 1, 2025, foreign driving licences are recognised only in circumstances provided for by Vietnamese law and applicable international agreements.

For an International Driving Permit (IDP) issued under the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Traffic, drivers must carry both:

  • A valid International Driving Permit.

  • The corresponding valid national driving licence covering the vehicle category being operated.

An IDP does not automatically authorise its holder to ride every type of motorcycle in Vietnam.

Similarly, holding a car driving licence does not automatically qualify someone to operate a motorcycle that requires a motorcycle licence.

Can Foreigners Convert Their Driving Licence to a Vietnamese Licence?

Foreign nationals who reside, work or study in Vietnam may be eligible to apply for the conversion of a valid foreign national driving licence, subject to the applicable requirements.

The process may involve residency documentation, a valid driving licence and other supporting documents.

However, short-term tourists should not assume that their foreign licence can be converted immediately or that it is automatically valid for riding motorcycles in Vietnam.

What Should International Visitors Check?

Your situationWhat you should know
You have a foreign car licenceIt does not automatically qualify you to ride a motorcycle
You have a foreign motorcycle licenceCheck whether it is recognised in Vietnam and covers the intended vehicle
You have an IDPCheck its legal validity and carry the corresponding national licence
You want to convert your licenceEligibility and required documents depend on applicable regulations
You do not have a suitable motorcycle licenceConsider a legally classified electric moped that does not require one

The key takeaway: Before renting a petrol motorcycle or a high-powered electric motorcycle in Da Nang, check whether your licence is legally recognised for that vehicle category.

Can Foreigners Ride an Electric Scooter in Vietnam Without a Driving Licence?

Yes. Certain low-speed electric mopeds can legally be ridden without a driving licence in Vietnam, provided the rider meets the applicable requirements.

The important distinction is between an electric moped and an electric motorcycle.

Not every electric two-wheeler is licence-exempt.

Which Electric Scooters Do Not Require a Licence?

Under Article 34 of Law No. 36/2024/QH15, the electric moped category includes vehicles that meet the relevant technical limits, including:

  • A maximum design speed of 50 km/h.

  • Electric motor power of no more than 4 kW.

Under Article 59, people aged 16 or older may operate mopeds, subject to the relevant legal conditions.

Drivers must also meet the requirements concerning health, traffic-rule knowledge and vehicle-control skills.

For an electric two-wheeler legally classified as a moped, a driving licence is not mandatory.

Does the VinFast Evo Lite Require a Driving Licence?

VinFast has introduced low-speed models in its Evo Lite range designed for riders who do not need a motorcycle driving licence.

For example, VinFast's published information for the Evo200 Lite includes:

  • Maximum speed: 49 km/h.

  • Maximum motor power: 2,450 W.

  • No driving licence required for eligible riders under Vietnamese law.
