If strictly according to the law, then for renting you need an IDP (obtained in addition to the regular Russian license through Gosuslugi or at the traffic police for a fee without retaking exams), and it must have category "A", because driving even the smallest scooter on public roads in Vietnam requires a license, and specifically category A. Even if you have category M, B, C, or anything else, without category A it doesn't count. However, in reality, in practice, when renting, they don't even ask for a license at all, let alone the category. As for checks on the roads, police are encountered on the roads of Vietnam and in Mui Ne in particular very rarely. From personal experience, we have traveled thousands of kilometers on the roads of Vietnam, maybe even tens of thousands, and have never encountered police, although our documents are in order. However, we are not encouraging you to break the law, just sharing our experience, but the final decision is yours.
