HSK Test Dates in Vietnam

Sittings open for registration

Deadlines are the centres’ own, from CTI’s system: one date when every centre here shares it, a range when they differ. Where CTI’s global notice gives another date, it is shown alongside. Some centres close earlier on their own sites, so check yours. From HSK 3, the new exam is registered together with the speaking test of the same level.

Registering in Vietnam

• Registration is online at www.chinesetest.cn for internet-based sittings; some centres (e.g. Duy Tan) also take paper registrations on their own site or in person, then payment by bank transfer.
• Since 2026, HSK3-HSK6 must be booked together with the matching HSKK (Duy Tan cites the integration rule); HSK1-2 have no speaking.
• Duy Tan closes registration early when seats sell out; its 2026-11-07 deadlines are 2026-10-11 (paper) and 2026-10-28 (computer), matching CTI.
• For 2026-12-13 (first HSK 3.0), 9 of 19 Vietnamese centres list slots in CTI's system so far (6 paper, 3 internet). Centre deadlines: paper 2026-11-19 (Dong Thap also shows 2026-11-16 for some levels), internet 2026-11-27. CTI's global deadlines are 2026-11-16 (paper) and 2026-12-03 (internet).
• Refund rule at Duy Tan (2026-06-28 notice): 100% refund if cancelled 26+ days before the test, 70%, 50%, then none; one postponement allowed.

Fees

• Duy Tan University (Da Nang) fees only; fees are set per centre and other Vietnamese centres may differ.
• HSK3-HSK6 amounts are the mandatory bundle with speaking (HSK3+HSKK Beginner, HSK4+Intermediate, HSK5 and HSK6+Advanced). HSKK amounts are for speaking taken alone.
• Same amounts charged for the 3.0 trial on 2026-09-20 (HSK2 670,000; HSK3+speaking 1,330,000 ... HSK6+speaking 2,150,000), consistent with CTI's rule that 3.0 fees equal the 2.0 pairing.
• The 2026-06-28 notice (2026-04-27) also gives USD equivalents: HSK1 20, HSK2 25, HSK3+HSKK 50, HSK4+HSKK 60, HSK5+HSKK 70, HSK6+HSKK 80, HSKK 20/25/30; payment is in VND only.
• HSK1 is not offered on Duy Tan's 07/11/2026 fee list (it lists HSK2 upward); the HSK1 figure comes from the 28/06/2026 notice.
