Hi,I am looking into sending funds to Vietnam using a safe and economically way. It is for a one time transfer of a rather large sum and not for monthly payments, like my pension. Wise is just fine for that. However, they have a limit of about 300k ...
Thanks for the info HoanghaFlow & OceanBeach92107Before TransferWise (now Wise) I also used the ATM to withdraw money from my VISA card. The company stated that if you kept a positive balance, there wouldn't be any fees to pay. That never worked ... Read More

@SteinNebraskaThanks for pointing this out. It was a typo, I am aware Wise has about a 10k USD limit a day. Although their exchange rate is very good , the fees are not and it adds up quickly if you send larger sums of money multiple times.My wife ... Read More

Moving to Vietnam with personal belongings by Kiteflyer
Hi,I have read some alarming messages here saying that used goods can't be imported. Surely there must be an exception for persons who are moving to the country because they are married with a Vietnamese woman. I am not leaving behind an address and ...
Yes, I am aware of the 3 year residency requirement for a PRC. And no, I did not have a TRC before. Read More

@BhavnaMy last contribution was posted a while back on another thread and it actually belonged there. Since then, I have discovered and shared that the consulate in the Netherlands does not issue a TRC or PRC and need to apply for one in Vietnam. ... Read More
The Vietnamese LOUDNESS SYNDROME by GuestPoster195
Hello to all, I have my theory why all voice/music volumes are turned to the highest level. What ideas do you have?Thanks for participating. (I am presenting being bombarded)Albert

Personally, if the singer has a sweet voice and is not drunk, it doesn't bother me to much. We have neighbors who are actually good singers and they entertain three or four evenings a week. Unfortunately it often happens just when we want to watch a ... Read More

@OceanBeach92107Thanks for the advice. After on and off in Vietnam for thirteen years, I got accustomed that many things are a hit or miss. And yes, I got frustrated and sometimes angry in the past. I can write a thick book about what has gone ... Read More

@taurealistRight, I was planning to buy excess luggage on the plane and use it for the items that are most dear to me. Still, on one trip I can't take all of it. And to be honest, I was hoping this is going to be my last long-haul flight. It is ... Read More
