Process of buying home or condo in Vietnam (Saigon) by jrharvey
I realize there are probably not a lot of experts on this subject but hoping someone out there may know a few things. Not seeing much in the search or past discussions. So the story is that me and my wife are looking to buy a house or condo. I do ...

Although I am not particularly fond of living in HCMC, Celadon City location is rather decent, has good portion of green and relatively tranquil, I would say, taking into consideration that it is in the midst of the big city. If somebody anyway ... Read More

Goodolboy,thanks for your update. Honestly, i didnt think that in current cooling real estate market the apartment like that can sell for 3 billion. Due to the stress with buying I mentioned above, I was ready to abort everything and to talk out my ... Read More

Me too would recommend maximum caution when buying property in Vietnam. In 2018 I started to look for an apartment in HCMC. At that time I worked in other Asian countries where listings on internet are pretty reliable so my main source of info was ... Read More

The Passing of an Old FriendFor centuries the water buffalo has tilled the rice fields of Vietnam. Once, a ricefarmer who owned severalcon trau was considered rich. When rented to a less fortunate landowner, a water buffalo was a source ofsteady ...
wiliamherron13nice article. It made me nostalgic, thinking about the things and ways that we (60+) were once used to have in our life and now are vanishing with breakneck speed. Vietnam is no exception, with all benefits, dangers and drawbacks of ... Read More

Excuse me boys, what is transitioning? Reading the post, should be "moving". But "transitioning"? Very complicated and high level, but in my opinion useless word when there is "higher level" word like "relocation".Nothing personal, just my opinion. ... Read More
Vietnam visa, strange & interesting by ruzuba1500
I applied for evisa in Dec 22 but due to job and wanting to avoid Tet which i dont like i postponed the trip until a couple of days ago. Arrived to HCM airport, I queued with other people for immigration clearance and noted that few people had to ...
The observation from goodolboy regarding tourists is correct. Current situation with evisa and 30 days sojourn period covers 99% of tourists' needs. I know a lot of people who came to Vn and their max stay is 20 days what actually is more than ... Read More

As a side issue, in all my time traveling in & out of TSN over 14+ years I have never ever seen queues at immigration like I saw today & that was with all the desks operational. So I suppose the fact that only 30 days tourist e visa's ... Read More

@Safepeter so incongruent policy. sometimes asking expiring visa, sometimes not. Indeed it depends on bed's side, air humidity, wife's headache or is there any real logic? Read More
