Has anyone found any use for their VNeID? by CHRISLANGTON
Remember the excitement a year ago when everyone was encouraged to acquire a Vietnam I.D number? In the last year, has it proven useful in any way? I ask because my new TRC came with a new number and it seemed sensible to update my VNeId app ...

@Aidan in HCMC Hello Aidan and everybody. The trick is "if a contract exists, a business it is". Police will know if someone is collecting money without tax declarations. What I know there is not any special registration to differentiate a rental ... Read More

I am a 59 year old ESL teacher from the UK and now that I have reached 59, I can't get any offers from China anymore as the cut off is 60 there. So I was wondering whether it is possible to get an ESL job in Vietnam now. If so, would it be better to ...
