SEOUL – Citizens of the Republic of Korea (RoK) with a valid driver's licence can soon be eligible to drive in Việt Nam with an international driving permit under a bilateral pact that will come into effect on July  二 三.

The pact was signed between the two nations on June  二 三 during RoK President Yoon Suk Yeol's state visit to Việt Nam.

The Korean National Police Agency expected some  四. 三 million Korean citizens to take advantage of the international driving permit to drive in the Southeast Asian country. Vietnamese tourists are already able to drive in the RoK with an international driving permit.

Korean citizens with a driver's licence can apply for an international driving permit. Once issued at police stations, licence examination offices, Incheon Airport or Gimhae Airport, the permit is valid for a year.

Earlier, the RoK Government had granted permission for holders of international driving permits issued by Việt Nam to drive in the RoK under Article  九 六 of the country's Road Traffic Law.
