Good afternoon.

I hope you are well and can assist me.

My wife and I are very interested in immigration to Vietnam or staying on a long term work Visa.

We are in South Africa.

I'm 47 and my wife is 43 , I'm an ex policeman and have been in the security industry for the last 20 years , I've worked in Casinos,聽 guarding and at DHL logistics all as security manager.

My wife is a qualified nail technician and personal trainer and pilates instructor and currently manages a gym.

We are looking at visiting Vietnam in September to look for work.

Your advise would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

I was simply making different comments for you and your wife based on what you wrote.聽 I used a small back-street gym in my neighborhood where the owner didn't speak a word of English, but I read on this site that there are fancy gyms in the downtown hotels that cater to foreigners.聽 Just guessing but security could be a tough field for a foreigner to crack.聽 Except maybe at the highest management level wouldn't it be dependent on interaction with the public?聽 Still, if you left DHL on good terms, it might be a good idea to check in with them.

Dear friend,

You can take time to search for foreign company (US companies) which has manufacturing plants in VN or hotels. They will need a Security manager to take care of work flow to ensure security and control the plants and hotel.

Just my ideas for your reference.

Rgds,
