AS i understand it.. For Americans they can not get their government pensions if living in Vietnam. So they can never report living there. If I ever got divorced, i would want to choose Vietnam or possibly return to Philippines. Thailand does not really want foreigners in their country except to empty their bank accounts.

Easy no retirement visa, Vietnam is impossible for expats.

How do the over 100,000 expats stay there then?

constant border runs every 90 days i think.

 

what a silly thread topic. most people get hitched up after being in thailand many years. it's not that easy to just move when you're settled somewhere. 

Yes, I knew this. I was just rebutting his saying it's impossible for expats.

Payments Outside the United States

As a United States citizen, you may receive your Social Security payments outside the United States in this country as long as you are eligible for them.

  • Countries with Restrictions:
    The SSA generally cannot send Social Security payments, including SSI, to countries with restrictions, such as Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam. Additionally, payments are not sent to Cuba and North Korea.

That appears to be outdated.

I did find Vietnam on the list, "Last Revised: Sep. 10, 2007"

 

As of June 2023, there are the 10 countries where the United States won’t send your Social Security payments:

  • Azerbaijan
  • Belarus
  • Cuba
  • Kazakhstan
  • Kyrgyzstan
  • Moldova
  • North Korea
  • Tajikistan
  • Turkmenistan
  • Uzbekistan

I worked Vung Tau for a few years, didn't think prices were much different.
