No, Vietnam’s 2026 traffic safety amendments explicitly prohibit laser jammers under Decree 10/2020/ND-CP and Circular 31/2022/TT-BGTVT, classifying them as electronic devices interfering with traffic enforcement. Penalties include fines up to ₫10 million and confiscation.
Key Regulations for Laser Jammers in Vietnam
- Decree 10/2020/ND-CP (Article 16): Bans devices disrupting traffic signal systems, including laser jammers, with administrative fines.
- Circular 31/2022/TT-BGTVT (Article 5): Mandates vehicle inspections to detect prohibited electronic interference tools, effective nationwide since January 2026.
- Ministry of Public Security (MPS) Guidance: Local traffic police units enforce interdiction during roadside checks, particularly in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
Manufacturers or distributors face stricter penalties under Vietnam’s 2025 Cybersecurity Law if devices are linked to data interception. Import permits for electronic traffic devices are now scrutinized by the Vietnam Customs under MPS directives.
