Can you live in HCM city with 500-600k asset and never have to work? by Clocky

"I speak perfect Vietnamese, and read/write as well. I have relatives there. I've been able to visit it a few times the last 10 years and it seems fine to me, I think it's more lively than where I'm at right now, probably more fun ... Read More
Vietnam is boring by Guest6787
I've been here 3 months in Binh Duong, just 20 km outside of the HCM city center. There's almost no variety to life here. Everything is the same. Same food everywhere you go, every day. Same boring boxed food products in every store. ...
French colonists left Vietnam with at least three world-class treats you can鈥檛 find in Thailand, because Bangkok managed to avoid being absorbed into European or Japanese empires: 1. universally delicious bread (including crispy baguettes ... Read More

US Citizen VN Citizen couple, non-US travel by Missybon
Hello all, I am a US citizen living in Vietnam, my spouse is a citizen of Vietnam. She does not have a green card. Are there other documents we can use to help in applying for visas to travel to places like Japan or the EU? Thank you for your ...
Why does she need a green card to travel to those places?I think as a vietnamese citizen, you will have a hard time traveling if you can't prove your asset in the bank... with a green card she's technically a US immigrant and can use that to ... Read More

I'm not going in as an investor. I have a 5 years visa that I can do visa extension every 6 months. Just thinking if 1k or 1.5k a month is enough to live or not.You can have in-country extension every other 6 months, meaning you must leave the ... Read More

I think it is well established that you can live off the interest/dividends on 300-500K US. The real question is if you are wanting to get away from the rat race and hubub, why do you want to live in HCMC?My relatives are in HCMC, and I don't ... Read More
