no

Answer 2

It depends ,  who issued you Driver license ?

According to BMV:

Indiana residents may renew their driver's licenses at any license branch up to one year before the expiration of the driver's license. When renewing a driver's license, the holder will need to pass a standard vision screening.

If you have moved, you will need to provide a computer-generated document such as a utility bill or pay-check stub that contains your name and new address. If your name has changed, you will need to provide a court-issued order verifying the change to your name.

Renewing a driver's license when out-of-state

If you find that your valid Indiana driver's license has expired while you are out of the state, you may request a 90-day extension of your driver's license from the license's date of expiration.

If you are an Indiana resident living out of the state and you need to renew your driver's license, you may request a photo-exempt driver's license. Please note that the BMV only issues photo-exempt driver's licenses to Indiana residents who are living out of the state as active military personnel, college students, on business, or working as missionaries.

Any foreign national who needs to renew an Indiana driver's license should visit a license branch and ask to renew the driver's license through the Central Verification Process (CVP). This process allows the BMV to verify the applicant's immigration or residency status.

Any documents presented at a license branch establishing an applicant’s immigration or residency status will be forwarded to the BMV's Central Verification Division. The applicant will be issued a document stating that he or she has a temporarily-renewed driver's license which is valid for 60 days. When the Central Verification Division has verified the applicant’s documents, the permanently-renewed driver's license will be mailed to the applicant.

If you live full time in Vietnam and are NOT a college student attending school,  then you are no longer an Indiana resident, and no longer qualify for a license.
