How is Cryptocurrency regulated in Vietnam? by danrodri
Hi community. A friend told me about a US/Vietnamese crypto platform offering a staking program that pays 9% per month in US$. I checked and surprisingly, the platform seems legit (says someone who has been in academia for over 10 years now and ...
@danrodri Hi community. As I promised to answer back 6 months later, let me do it. Apparently, since 1.1.2026 crypto is legal in Vietnam...or, let's say, more legal than before. You were right that the platform I was inquiring about isn't as good ... Read More

@OceanBeach92107 But your smart answer said : "Future: A legal framework expected by May 2025 may clarify trading, taxation, and licensing, potentially integrating cryptocurrencies into regulated financial systems.". That would be next month. Maybe ... Read More

@OceanBeach92107 Thxs. Comprehensive answer. Surprised Grok can do that. I'm still on ChatGPT paid version. But bottom line: its not forbidden to earn money through a staking program and bring that to your bank. Sounds good, thank you. Let's invest ... Read More

@Yong NgI have always told my students not to use more than what they can suffer to lose on crypto trading, as the demand is highly speculative and irrational. I prefer fixed income in US$, so the staking works much better for me. I know more people ... Read More

@Yong NgThank you for your firm and understandable answer. This was my immediate reaction too. But because my friend insisted, I went to the office here in Saigon and spoke with one of the founders. I thought the conversation would be over after 5 ... Read More

Work permit discontinued but TRC still valid by danrodri
Hi, anyone has experience with the following case: you quit your job in Vietnam that was giving you work permit. Let's hypothetically imagine you have two TRC's. You have to return your TRC but keep one, as you had two. Based on date of expiry its ...
By the way...holding two passports is also not allowed by any country But there are ways to have two valid passports of one country simultaneously. At least I have met people that had. I would never do that of course. :) Read More

Own a motorbike as foreigner by danrodri
Hi community. I'm sure this has been covered somewhere previously. Tried to find but couldn't. So anyways: I know for cars you got the NN plate (coffee-money magnet?) for foreigners. But I'm about to buy a new 125cc regular motorbike (probably ...
As far as I know pre-registration of vehicles once a year is not a thing. Unless...apparently, you are unfortunate enough to have a 1y rolling working visa with (sorry...but the more I think about it: STUPID) NN plates. Omg...I wish some of the gov ... Read More

@Aidan in HCMCThank you for the clarifications and correcting my sloppy arguments. No problem. Yes...I've been in Vietnam for 3y now. Unfortunately, I wasn't lucky to get the VN driving license fixed to my foreign driving licence expire date, and ... Read More
