I don’t have a motorbike license. Can I still ride?
No, a valid international motorbike license is required to ride in Ha Giang. Police checks are common due to rising accidents involving unlicensed tourists. Riding without a license may also void your insurance.
Can I use my home country’s license to ride in Vietnam?
You’ll need an international motorbike license to ride legally in Vietnam. If you only have a national license, you may be able to convert or translate it into an international one before your trip.
Some countries allow riding 50cc bikes with a car license—these don’t require a license in Vietnam. Just make sure to check your country’s rules and prepare in advance.
Can I ride the motorbike by myself?
Yes, you can. However, you must have a valid international motorbike license, and we will assess your riding skills beforehand to ensure safety. The roads in Ha Giang can be quite challenging and dangerous.
