hi.
Im planning to move to vietnam in about 2-3 year
But first i would like to open an account for depositing about 1bill vnd at the higest rate for about a year.
. So how does this work? Do i get the interest paid out every month?? Is there any tax or fee i have to pay for having my money in the bank??

l3ully

No, you will not get the interest on your bank account. You have to place the money for a year, you get a small pay in slip. On that one, you can withdraw monthly your interest.
In theory, there are taxes on, in praxis, I have not been taxed yet.

Yeah, my first question was going to be "How do you plan on getting out of North Korea, and where are you getting internet access in North Korea?

Which one? All 9.9 Million?

A Korean name consists of a family name followed by a given name, as used by the Korean people in both North Korea and South Korea. In the Korean language, 'ireum' or 'seong-myeong' usually refers to the family name (seong) and given name (ireum in a narrow sense) together. There are only about 250 Korean family names currently in use, and the three most common (Kim, Lee, and Park) account for nearly half of the population.

Vietnam does trade with N. Korea and I think some Vietnamese expats do live and work there.

So you think this poster's story is credible?  A 30 year old Vietnamese guy who's from Norway, working in North Korea, wanting to come to Vietnam and asking what to do with $50,000 USD? 

The United States is also aware of the Superdollar that comes out of North Korea. 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdollar

While I think it's very possible someone at 30 can amass $50K through diligent and hard work, I.......uhm, would have to advise the gentleman that there's a limit to the amount of currency that one can bring on their person when entering Vietnam without declaring it to customs.  That amount is $7,000; anything more will have to be declared.  I would also advise the uh...gentleman that once he steps off the plane with his $50K wad, he will most likely be robbed.
