Hi all,
Does anyone know if there are any issues with keeping a VN bank account once you have left the country and returned home?
I'm wondering if there are any legal ramifications as well as issues with the bank.
Thanks, feedback is much appreciated!

I suppose the first question would be, why do you want to keep an active account after you return home.

If all goes to "plan", I'll come back again to work. Fingers crossed!

As long as funds remain in the account it wont be a problem.

When we left Vietnam, Citibank made us change the address on our account to my wife's permanent (Red Book) which is her mother's house. What will you use as an address if you are no longer renting in Vietnam?
