Taking the Vietnamese A2 Motorbike Licence Test as a Foreigner

Class A2 covers motorbikes above 175cc in Vietnam. Foreigners who cannot exchange a foreign licence — because the class does not exist at home, the licence has expired, or they never held one — take the Vietnamese test instead.

Eligibility

  • Legal residence in Vietnam with a reasonable remaining stay — typically at least three months on a visa or residence card
  • Health certificate issued by an approved hospital
  • Minimum age and fitness requirements as for Vietnamese applicants

Documents

  • Passport with valid visa or residence card, plus notarised translation
  • Health certificate
  • Application form and photos
  • Temporary residence declaration confirming your address

The test

Part What it involves
Theory Multiple-choice questions on traffic law and road signs, from the official question bank
Practical Controlled course: figure of eight, narrow lane, slalom and stopping exercises

Test materials and instructions are in Vietnamese; some centres provide English versions of the question bank, which is worth checking before enrolling.

Exchange instead, if you can

If you hold a valid foreign licence of an equivalent class, exchanging it is faster and requires no test: licence exchange. What is and is not accepted for driving here: licence rules.
