PTE for Spain from Vietnam: the score you need

From Vietnam, the search splits two ways: skilled work in Japan, Korea or Germany — and study or work in spain. The honest part most ads skip: the first group isn't gated on English at all. Here's where PTE is your route, and where a different language test is.

Coming from Vietnam: where English is the bar — and where it isn't

Vietnam's largest skilled-migration corridors run on languages other than English, so the honest first question is which test your destination actually needs.

Japan (Specified Skilled Worker): needs Japanese — typically JLPT N4 or the JFT-Basic test, plus a skills test — not English.
Korea (EPS) runs on the EPS-TOPIK Korean test; Germany's skilled routes need German. PTE does not replace these.
For spain: study and most skilled or graduate routes do run on English — PTE Academic is your bridge (and PTE Core for Canadian Express Entry).
Documents: Vietnamese transcripts usually need certified English translation, sometimes notarisation — the system is overseen by MOET.

Honesty check: If your goal is Japan, Korea or Germany, don't pay for English prep you don't need — confirm the actual language test your route requires first.
