Does taking a class C driver's license require a drug test in Vietnam?
I plan to take the class C driver's license test. A few years ago I used drugs. Now I have completely recovered from my addiction. So is there a drug test when I go for a medical check-up?

c) The copy of passport valid for more than 06 months and temporary residence card/permanent residence card/diplomatic identity card/official identity card for foreigners;

Thus, in the application for training, testing, and issuance of a driver's license, test takers need to submit a health examination certificate in Vietnam.
And in Appendix 02 issued with Joint Circular 24/2015/TTLT-BYT-BGTVT regulating the form of driver's health certificate, including:

According to Circular 12/2017/TT-BGTVT, class C driving licenses are issued to drivers to operate the following types of vehicles:
8. C class licenses issued to drivers controlling following types of cars:
a) Trucks, including special trucks with design loading capacity from 3.500 kg and over;
b) Tractors hauling a trailer with design loading capacity from 3,500 kg and over;
c) Cars intended for B1 and B2 classes.
In the 2008 Road Traffic Law: People 21 years of age or older are allowed to drive trucks and tractors with a tonnage of 3,500 kg or more; Driving a class B2 vehicle pulling a trailer (FB2).
Thus, people who are 21 years old or older will be able to take the Class C driver's license test. According to your description, this year you were born in 2000, this year you are only 19 years old so you are not eligible to take the test in Vietnam.
Best regards!
