As I heard, if I already have B class license from my country, I don't need to have written traffic exam in VN for motorbike license. I can get license by only attending practical motorbike driving exam.
Is that right?

Hahaha. Yeah sort of. But limited to few years though. We Vietnamese have A1 driver license for motorbike unlimited time. B2 is 10 years limit.

If you drive normal motorbike and scooter under 175cc you will need A1 license. Bikes over 175cc require A2 license and you will have to take the test no matter what.

Can I confirm?
So you mean "I will not take written exam. I will take driving exam only"...right?

Ngan Khanh

No. You will have to take both. The drive test is easy. The written test is 10 to 25 questions in Vietnamese ( my friend confirmed 25). They will give you translator and "help". You will pass no worries. Just a bit hassle with paperwork though.
