Do you have any good recommendations on a immigration lawyer to help with questions on TRC or work permit?
honestly you guys are downplating the scams and curroption..this country is one of the most curropt on earth and nothing ever gets done due to extreme curroption and I couls name countless examples...
Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching
Well said!
Video soon Thibault !? ;)
@@MoveToAsia si tu veux camarade, par contre j ai paumé tes coordonnées..!!😁
Good In sights
Thanks for the feedback !
Thanks for sharing, I think you left out a very important part of everyday life...HEALTH CARE, what if something happens to you physically and mentally, I mean the cost, the service, the quality of service, the medication, the ER, the private vs public health service. What about health insurance? Is it going to be on your next video? Thank you!
We won't necessarily only talk about health insurance (for recommendations, you can fill this form : movetoasia.com/en/vietnam/health-insurance/#best-reviews ) but the healthcare in general.
Headache to watch due to the blurriness. But liked your pros and cons👍
Yeah ... we saw it post video recording. Still published as the discussion was valuable ! Thx for the feedbacks
Are you ok? I dont see a new video? Are living in vietnam in this moment?
I think you guys left out something really important that can scare long term visitors away. You have to report to the local government besides 30 days Visa.
We did talked about the visa situation from 16:10 . For long-term living, being register at the police of your ward is a hassle for you ? Your landlord usually takes care of it himself.
Hi guys any updates regarding visa for Vietnam? Have they reinstated the 90 and longer visas? Thank you 😊
No dude just wait
From Aug 15, 2023…
Bravo c est une bonne alternative a la Thailand et Singapore qui ont un Coût de vie hors de prix si tu as des bons plans pour vivre là bas je suis preneur merci.
Yes ! La vidéo sur le coût de la vie en 2023 est ici : czcams.com/video/Szf5BGFQ2yU/video.html
Mais il faut quand même parler mandarin aujourd'hui sans cela pas de négociations possible.
Assuming one is recruited, is it possible to obtain a work permit in Vietnam without a university degree ?
Hard those days.
@@MoveToAsia these or those?
The end of the 1yr biz visa makes vn hard
If you are here to work or invest, Vietnam grants 2-year work visa through work permit. Not that hard to get tho.
The cons are very cons.
+1
Oh oh oh
Trully costly education goverment school in vietnam is cheap and of course not complete free, just private school is expensive
True. Most foreigners will register their kids in private schooling. That's why it will be a big thing to consider for us when it comes to this stage.
International private schools are expensive everywhere. That’s no big surprise
Do you know if Vietnam will go back to the 90 day tourist visa. Much better for visa runs. I have heard rumors Vietnam may be doing the 90 day visa again.
We don't know. Unofficial sources are saying it "might" be re-implemented ...
There we get to the dark side ....Thanks .... 👍
Always!
The Asian man is cute !
Very cute !
Geese. You make it sound unsafe. Everyone else I’ve listened to make it sound safe in Vietnam. I’m pretty surprised to hear that you have to be that guarded.
It's super safe tho.
@@MoveToAsia that’s good to know but not what the video suggests. I guess I’ll see in a few weeks either way
@@cookingwithadamkahnandlixu2718 czcams.com/video/lo2egm5d3hk/video.html more details here.
@@MoveToAsia sounds good. I’ll watch sometime today and check it out. My cousin works for the US government and spent 3 years there. Was texting with him to learn a little as well. Planning to visit for a bit myself as well

The cons are deal-breaker
Yep, reality of life in Vietnam.
Bun bao sellers with loud speaker all day long
I love that sound!
But I understand how it can be annoying all day long. Bette if they just say it out loud versus a speaker
That beginning really pissed me off - switched off straight away
👍

Live in Ha Noi 😂 it is better and safer
Very interested in moving to Vietnam. So definite look at Ha Noi?
