@josefwho: ⬇️ What you need to know before riding the Ha Giang loop 🇻🇳 ✅ The Correct IDP for Vietnam: Vietnam recognizes the 1968 Vienna Convention International Driving Permit. However, many countries (like Australia and others) are signed up to the 1949 Geneva Convention, which Vietnam doesn’t recognize for motorbikes. 🚨 What This Means: If you’re from a country not part of the 1968 convention, you’re technically riding without a valid license—leaving you open to fines if stopped by local police (somewhere between 500k to 4 million VND - per fine) 📍 Countries That Can Get the 1968 Permit: • Most European countries, like France, Germany, and the Netherlands. ⚠️ Countries That Can’t: • Australia, the USA, Canada, New Zealand, and the UK (among others). 🌟 Tip: If you’re from a country that can’t issue the 1968 IDP, it’s a good idea to still carry a valid license from your home country and the 1949 IDP as a backup. While it won’t be legally valid, it can help smooth over conversations with local authorities if stopped. 🎯 The Bottom Line: You might still get fined if stopped, but don’t let that deter you. Just ride responsibly, carry proper safety gear, a bit of extra cash and embrace the adventure of the Ha Giang Loop—it’s absolutely worth it! Are you willing to pay the fine or are you happy to be an easy rider? Save this for later & send this to anyone who is planing to complete the loop 🏍️ #hagiang #hagiangloop #northvietnam #vietnam #travelvietnam #vietnamtravel #vietnamtrip #vietnamtravels #motorbikelife #traveladventures #vietnamadventures #vietnamadventure #motorbike
