Toss up between here and Indonesia and the currency being called Dong swung it

So what you mean is that Dong is a better currency or the price of everything is cheap?
I don't really get that聽

Do you have to lengthen your visa duration or do anything to live in Vietnam that long?

You have various Visa options.
Tourist聽 Visas on arrival,聽 Business Visas , TRC (temp residence Cards), marrried VECs , etc , there are several Visa classifications.

Just get the vIsa that best suits your circumstances.聽 聽Every country has its own rules & regulations

A darker view than others. That's ok, your experience and your view!

Of those who have moved on to other exotic tropical places and had a better experience, which places where those?

Hi Mr 70 year old...
How come you only have to renew your visa every 6 months when most people have to renew every 3 months?
When did the 12 month visa information happen?

If you're married to a Vietnamese or if your parents are Vietnamese, your VEC is good for 5 years with 6 months per stay.

IIRC, 70-Year-Old also acquired a TRC after his VEC, so I don't think he needs to renew his visa at all.聽 My nephew-in-law only has to renew every 3 years with his visa and TRC.

We both hold Australian Passports with 5 year Visas but have always been subject to the 3 month rule, should we be able to get 6 months between renewals?

The old VEC only allows 90 day stay.聽 I don't think you can change the condition before the VEC expires.

You are subject to whats written on the VEC. Mine also is 90 days, thats why I do border runs and get the 6 months on offer by leaving and re-entering.

What does that mean, Colin?聽 When you re-entered, they offered you a 6 month stay despite what the VEC said?

By leaving VN and re-entering you get a 6-month stamp, do it at immigration in-country, you only get 3 months.

Thank you.

I won't need it but it's good to know.聽 Ours are set for 6 months, but we travel very often so it's closer to 4 months every time we get a stamp from re-entering.

I have an old VEC, hence the 3-months and not six-months, that's why I do border runs.

You can get a one year very easily if you want. Just get a letter of introduction, leave country and return and then you may continue to renew the one year Visa. About $400 last I did it about 6 months ago.

VEC's are free, one-year visas over 5-years become costly. By heading out every 6-months I pay just聽 30 USD at the border.
