  • Must be trained in lifesaving, fire rescue and medical first aid.
  • Must be trained in tourism skills by the transportation business unit, unless you are a tour guide or have been trained in tourism at the intermediate level or higher.

About means of transport:

  • Automatic identification equipment (AIS) must be installed when operating on routes from shore to islands or between islands.
  • Equip a sufficient number of buoys and life jackets for visitors.
  • Meet the requirements for equipment and amenities depending on the number of seats in the vehicle.

How many years does a tourist transport vehicle sign expire?

According to the provisions of Clause 3, Article 17 of Decree 168/2017/ND-CP, the validity period of tourist transport vehicle signs is 7 years and must not exceed the remaining useful life of the vehicle.

Specifically:

  • The sign is valid for 7 years from the date of issue.
  • However, the term of the sign must not exceed the remaining useful life of the vehicle.

For example: If a vehicle only has 5 years left in its useful life, the maximum license plate validity is only 5 years, not 7 years.

This regulation is to ensure that the sign always accompanies the vehicle throughout its legal operation. When the deadline expires, businesses need to carry out procedures to re-issue the sign if they want to continue using the vehicle for the purpose of transporting tourists.
