So excited to find you. I have been following several other channels about retiring in Vietnam and truly appreciate your honest and extremely detailed information. Also love your authenticity laced with great details!! Super helpful! ~ Maureen
I have made three trips back to Vietnam since I was a soldier there during the war. The first was in 2013 I stayed for two weeks in 2023 I spent too much traveling throughout Southeast Asia and in early 2024 I spent nearly 3 months in Vietnam. If they develop a retirement visa I'll be there one week later! It is a beautiful country with very warm and welcoming people. I have traveled from the farthest point south to the farthest point north and I have never felt in danger. I have always been welcomed. I'll be going back in 2025 for at least two months.unless, of course, they create a retirement visa in which case I'll stay!
I will join you too my new friend, but I’m allergic to the big city like Saigon, Ha Noi etc… I love Ha Long Bay the Fish Village in Cac Ba surrounding by water and mountains which I can wake up every morning to that, and I don’t have to carry my gun everyday anytime I go out.
At 10:29, you used price of hotel or resort, they are so expensive, if you spent time talk to local people (Hà Nội, Đà Nẵng, Nha Trang, HCM city), you can find a room to rent more cheaper.
moved here in semi retirement just over a week ago... am down in Saigon though! roll on the retirement visa!! in the meantime a 3-5 days to week away every 3 months isn't so bad! plenty of places to visit nearby!!
The visa is still being debated. Rumour has it that they want retirees with $4000 EACH, so its $8000 per couple. Crazy to put it mildly. If they will implement that, Vietnam, once again, will be at the very end of the cue.
Married is a dead wish in any country my friend. I’m married now for the same wonderful wife for 20 years and together for 26 total. She is the main reason that I can’t retire in Vietnam yet 😩
So, outside of setting up a business structure, there's not a way to retire there? In retirement, the last thing I want to do is work..that's the whole goal of retirement Good information in this video though
Thank you for the wonderful content the information how to retired in Vietnam. Retirement VISA is very challenging to Vietnam Government due to the threaten of invasion from the northern border. The chinese government is always looking for the opportunity to send their people to Vietnam, have a lot of babies and educated these babies in the chinese way, once they are old enough to will be the politicians of Vietnam from inside out and taking over control of the country without a single bullet. As you can see the impact of the chinese caused in Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and many more. Maybe the Vietnam Government can accept 15:39 the Retirement VISA from all countries other than china.
I'm retired Vietnamese American, always wanted to go back to South East Asian to retire for affordable and nice weather 😊. Penang or Saigon, any suggestions 😊
Well, that is indeed not native … passport doesn’t make you speak or write on the native level. Try to pass TESOL and see. From the little you wrote, you could improve your grammar and punctuation (not to be mean).
Retirement visa in the pipeline but rumours within the immigration department is that it will be based on monthly retirement pensions exceeding $4000 per month. This is grossly exaggerated but it’s been pitched at wealthy expats instead. Details to come out end of this year in preparation for launch in 2025/26.
Yup...I heard the same. If they insist on $4000 a month I wish them luck.....Nobody in his right mind with that kind of pension will sign up. Malaysia, Thailand and especially Cambodia are going to laugh all the way to the bank.....those 3 lowered the threshold dramatically.
Question please: I have a Master but its not in education, can i teach english in schools or international school ? Someone told me tha i only can teach in langage centers? Thanks a lot to let me know
Any academic school requires that the minimum qualifications is that you have a Teaching License to prove that you are a teacher. Private language schools are different
Unfortunately, you are not the preferred visible demographic for teaching jobs in Vietnam. The country is gradually, but surely, prioritizing certain demographics. As more Westerners arrive, the availability of jobs for you will decrease, or the salaries offered will be significantly lower in comparison. Your days in Vietnam are limited.
I strongly disagree with you. 1) Are you in Vietnam atm? Do you know what's happening with retirement visas here? Housing market here? Nothing wrong with letting people know about their options, what's your issue?
I beg to differ, reason why the video was made. If you don't like it, stop watching. Your rude comment is not welcome here. Your attitude is thumbs down and that's why your making rude comments on other people's channel, your a loser and get a life 🤬.
@s.m.l.8040 Ok key board warrior 🪖, you think because I make content I'll let you talk reckless to me? No!! Your "criticism" was a stupid comment. Not everyone knows Vietnam genius. Stop being so negative and move on loser. What's the purpose of all of this. You make content so I can see how you do. I welcome all criticism but I stand on ten toes about disrespectful "criticism". Appreciate the engagement and watch time!
@@thestoryofkt A little crybaby and mimosa like you should rather do something else than go public with a youtube channel. If you don't even know the difference between criticism and negativism, it's best not to open your mouth as wide as you do.
😂 there you are, been waiting for you all day. If you think your comment was genuine then give me what your smoking clown. Again thanks for watching me 😊
