1. The fee for appraisal of a karaoke service business license is 1,000,000 VND/room, but the total fee is not more than 6,000,000 VND/Licease/appraisal.

2. The fee for appraisal of a license to qualify for business of a nightclub service is 10,000,000 VND/License/appraisal.

3. Adjusted appraisal fee collection rate:

a) License to be eligible to operate karaoke services or nightclub services in case of change of owner: VND 500,000/License/appraisal.

b) A license eligible to conduct karaoke business for the case of increasing rooms is 1,000,000 VND/room, but the total collection is not more than 6,000,000 VND/License/appraisal.
