“After 9 years of implementation, the driving test fee (according to Circular 23/2013) is no longer appropriate to the present time due to many price fluctuations.

For the long-distance test, adding a cross-sectional test to the parking lot for B1 and B2 vehicles, installing a camera to monitor the test content, the driving test center must invest in equipment to install driver testing software simulate and perform car driving test by simulation software…
If the new fee is applied as the draft content, the total amount of money that test takers must pay to complete a test for a driver’s license of classes from B1 to F will increase from VND 450,000 to VND 630,000.
