I can confirm this. After our second apartment had to put it in my wife's name and sign some document renouncing my claim. On the bright side in Vietnam if one spouse wants to sell their property they will need the others signature no matter what. ... Read More

Monthly support to Vietnamese GF a mistake? by NashCat
Met a great Vietnamese girl a year ago online, went to Vietnam for 3 months to meet her. Everything was great. She was beautiful and nice. Not a bar or party girl, and we hit it off the moment we met. She had a restaurant at the time, but, because ...
Too many people get stuck on the amount of monthly support I give her. The amount is small proportion to my diposable income and is about the same as her income level beforehand. I am starting to think there are too many poor people replying to ... Read More

I know of some vietnamese girls who maintain 4-5 online overseas boyfriends who rake in 60-80 million dong a month in total. Not saying that your girlfriend's like them but if she really loves you she would make do with far less. Try giving her 300 ... Read More

You need to convert the license into a Vietnamese one. I hold both a Malaysian and IDP car license and both aren't accepted here. So had mine converted a few months back through an agent. The cost was around 1.5 mill VND so pretty cheap. You'll have ... Read More
