Banking – transfering money from Vietnam to UK

Hello all

I'm aware that questions related to this topic have been asked before, but I'd really appreciate some advice on my specific situation.

After passing my probation period at my office job here, I am getting a VN work permit which means I will be payed in Dong, not dollars directly into a Vietnamese bank account. Previously I was getting dollars in cash.

I would one day like to transfer my earnings back to my bank account in the UK (I have a barclays UK account), so I'd like some tips on which VN bank I should choose who make the transferring process most straight forward, I hear it can be quite complicated and sometimes involve fees.

Thanks guys!!
