You should first check if your country’s international drivers permit is recognized by Vietnam. It depends if your home country signed the 1968 agreement. Is your country on this list? https://treaties.un.org/Pages/ViewDetailsIII.aspx?src=TREATY&mtdsg_no=XI-B-19&chapter=11&Temp=mtdsg3&clang=_en Yes? Then your IDL is valid in Vietnam. No? Don't drive anything above a 50CC scooter.
