georgegeorgia Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) Just watched a YouTuber saying from August 15, that Vietnam now has introduced the 90 day visa again . I have absolutely no idea about Vietnam,it's one Asian country I have never been to . Any expats in here who have retired to Vietnam? What's the expat areas? How is it financially to live there compared to say Thailand? comfortable living ? I imagine it's more modern than say Philippines and Cambodia? Is Vietnam the upcoming retirement destination?

LaosLover Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Went 3 times, didn't love it. No Buddhism, no sanuk, too many samey spring rolls. Hanoi over HCM 10 to 1. If you go, allow plenty of time for a visa. We booked one that was supposed to show up in my inbox in 3 days. It took 9 days. Had to blow off a flight. Maybe consider paying a premium for an online agent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patricck Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 I don't know about retiring, but a short visit was fun. Prices are very low, and encountered some extremely friendly locals. I understood the appeal quickly. Vietnam has some mainland China vibes to a limited extent. Same as cambodia/thailand. Ph is a whole different thing.
