It is possible but not legal, so we cannot promote that information in the forum (forum code of conduct doesn't allow it).


The best advice I can give is to ask trustworthy Vietnamese friends how they would do it.


They will almost certainly be able to help you figure out a solution.

Not quite true.

Ìf you put the money into a VN account and never touched it, you can send back the money you originally sent to VN.If you took it out, then put it back in, you will need to show a papertrail.
