The My Tho/Tien Giang experience took just over 3 weeks, in 2008.听 I had the psych test done in the US a week before my departure, but they wouldn't accept it, so i ended up with electrodes strapped to my noggin', in Vietnam, so I could marry a lyimg, cheating tramp that I had known 8 months.听 听The divorce took almost 3 years...

Nothing crazy about that!

I had all that shit done for my Work Permit medical as well, 3 hrs !!!!!!!!!!

3. Mental health evaluation:

a. Both applicants can obtain their mental health evaluation at:听 听B峄噉h vi峄噉 Ch峄� Qu谩n 179 B岷縩 H脿m T峄� 膼么ng - T芒y 1st Ward, District 5.听 The cost for the evaluation is 800,000 VND for next day service听 or 1,200,000 VND for express same day service. You will need 4 photos of each applicant measuring 4x6cm. Don't be surprised if you are asked for "coffee money".听 I think 100,000 VND should do.

The above is about right. When you go there and present your paperwork with a smile make sure you included a 100,000D bill in among it. This ensures that your paperwork goes to the front of the queue. The "doctor" who administers your examination should be similarly treated when you take your pile of papers to him.

She/He will ask you some questions which are very simple to answer. The whole thing can be over in an hour or so if you do it right.

If not, maybe come back tomorrow or next week.

Some good answers here already. Just one brief comment:
Vietnamese are not paid well so "coffee money" helps expedite your paperwork. This is not a bribe.

A bribe is when you are paying for something that you're not entitled to.
In my opinion, and experience here in Vietnam, payments of bribes, also call it corruption, is a "bad" thing!

"uong ca phe" or "coffee money is something that helps oil the wheels and get your paperwork or whatever through more quickly.

" A bribe is when you are paying for something that you're not entitled to ", that's doesn't make sense. Receiving a bribe is the corruption, especially when they are being bribed to do what is SUPPOSED to be part of THEIR job?听 I'm tempted to ask VN s, " what sort of a country do they think they would have had, if there wasn't so many corrupt people running it? ", and I'm not just talking about VN politicians and their families,

Dear bluenz
I'm sorry if you can't read ALL of my comment, in context.

We obviously agree that paying bribes and corruption is bad.

However, I and others are saying that a little coffee money, 50,000 or 100,000 VND, can get your desired end result a little quicker. In a society of extremely low wages, this little extea can help both those giving and those receiving.

If you have a problem with that, don't do it. Wait your turn with those to whom 100,000 VND is a major burden on their finances. So many services in Vietnam are so stretched that a little coffee money puts you to the front of the line.

Also, if you complain about the way Vietnamese push and shove to the fromt of any line, you have a moral onligation NOT to do the same by using a few dong in this way.

It must be different where you/I live, when they push in front of me, I get their attention and point to the back of the line, they soon understand , I've never paid a " bribe " in the 5 continuous years I've lived here, I must be VIetnamised now??, I don't mind waiting like a VN,听 ( in my line ), and watching all the goings on in the office, hell, sometimes I even TALK with them, ( maybe I just have more patience than you?, I also let old people in front of me, sometimes beautiful women too, but the young ones hardly ever say thank you ).
听 I also agree with听 your view of their low wages, but most of the time it reflects on the service they provide, most of the time I try and slip them an extra 10 or 20 k , but I've stopped doing that now, the ones in uniform almost look offended when you do it.
Once you start paying " bribes" up front , you are condoning corruption, while the govt is trying to stop it.
Plus most of the times I've dealt with Govt agencies here, ( Work Permits, Immigration, Business Reg, licences, etc ), there is a set time limit required by the Govt , and it wouldn't matter how much, or who you paid, it will not make any difference .

You are correct. Not a husband, worse! a new acqaintance.

Another sad report in the Vietnamese language press was of an estranged Korean husband who followed his wife to Vietnam and murdered her here.

How about this one?听



They weren't married, or even dating, but that didn't stop him from sexually abusing her before he killed her.听

He should have been extradited back here to face justice, instead of an 8 year vacation in an American prison.听 Insult is added to injury in the fact that he's serving the time in Washington state, where the ultra-libs will make sure he's comfortable, instead of some hellhole in California, Texas, Georgia, where the wing-nuts care moire about the prison system's bottom line than his bottoms well-being .

Then there's the fact that he was sentenced for failing to notify the authorities when he left the Seattle area, since he was already a convicted sex offender.听 The judge added her murder to his charges, but he probably didn't have the legal ability to do so.听 His attorney is appealing , of course, so he'll probably see those charges dropped.

The culture is what it is.听 They've been kicked foreign interlopers out for thousands of years; interlopers that figured they'd come in and听 "reformat" things to better suit their own needs.听

Is it really any wonder that things are the way they are?
