What am I really looking at for monthly expenses? by Xavier Patrick
Though many of my questions seem to have a consensus answer (ie, best to find teaching work there rather than in advance) one that seems to have wildly conflicting answers is how much one might need to spend in a month in HCMC. Some sources say I ...
If you have a room to rent in a home for $200 a month already in HCMC would you be able to live on about $400 a month? 200 for rent and 200 for food and everything else? Thanks. Read More
Long-term temporary residence card instead of Visa? by Minnesota
Ok another worry that I have about moving to VN is getting Visa renewals. I am not sure about having to keep going to Cambodia for this so was wondering what you have to do to get a residence card. I would think that many people move to VN all the ...
l3ully, by any chance are your business hiring at all? I have a 4 year business degree and over 10 years of accounting at a bank. If I need the CELTA I will get that after I go to VN. Thanks. Read More

Internet connection in Vietnam by Minnesota
Is it safe for me to log on to my bank and stock accounts on the internet in Vietnam? I would need to access my accounts for trading and such but am worried about it. Thanks.

What I am saying is can I get a residence card even before I go? It would be better than to keep trying to update a visa ever 3 months. Read More

You two have me worried again. I was thinking that the buses would be better than the motorcycles. Take a bus part way and just maybe walk a few blocks. Any way thanks as when I am there I will be sure to ask you to show me around. I am sure I ... Read More

For getting a room I would not have anyone to show me around. I never been to VN before. For me 4K seems to be close but I guess with traffic the way it is there is may be kind of hard. Read More

I did not realize that you had to have them stamped by the secretary of state office. I am not near DC so I am not sure how I would do this. Maybe I will do it in HCMC. Just one more question for you. Do I just need my diploma or do I need all ... Read More

Agent much thanks as I am glad to know you. I am now a bit worried about spending the money for the course and then not passing. That would be so embarrassing for me. The place I will be staying at shows up as 3.9km away. I would think I could ... Read More

Its just for 4 weeks. How would you rank it to a regular college course? Same or harder? I was thinking it would be good to take it in Vietnam as they would gear it more to the local market. Much thanks. Read More
