bbi1 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Does anyone know if it's possible to open a bank account in Vietnam while on a few days holiday? Or do you need a long-term visa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripper15 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Long term visa, they are cracking down on bank accounts for short term visa's. Although if you arrive in Saigon you can try TIMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatOngo Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I had to show rental contract and work contract to open bank account in Hanoi. The residency permit helped also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That used to be a good option, but Timo have updated their policy recently - due to new government regulations, see https://timo.vn/en/blog/regulations-for-foreigners/ These new regulations mean that at least a 1-year visa is now usually required for a foreigner to open a new bank account in Vietnam.
