[@sdickinson5234]

With those overseas insurance plans, remember you will most likely still have to pay a deposit up front before they will treat you, then you have to file a claim to get reimbursed later. So if you have a major medical emergency and you can't pay for it, you're still screwed even though you have the insurance.

Yes that is something you really need to take into consideration forsure!

This was super informative. Curious how easy it is for a Canadian to open a bank account in VN , did you get set up through your job ? Also curious how you navigated visa extensions as a Canadian as we do not have the same 1 year option Americans are privy too? Thanks for the great videos keep it coming ☺️ 💕

[@TonyOi]

Yo! You will need proper paperwork to do so. You’ll need two things - Work contract, and a visa longer than 3 months! But I’m with HSBC VN so western bank and was really easy once I had my visa and work contract. If your trying to set up here as a digital nomad transfer wise just released a card for Canadians meaning you can have them send you a bank card which can be used anywhere in the world with no withdraw fees from atms. It also acts as a bank account where you can get paid into it and use the card to withdraw money :) look into that!

[@PhongMike]

@@TonyOi do they have Wells Fargo or Chase banks in VN? If so it's easy to draw money from US bank account.. Like your detail video..

[@bennynguyen3510]

Aaron, you may contact the office of the Vietnamese American lawyer "Duong Global Business Consulting Group" in Saigon. I have recently watched many of his useful KZbin videos about getting a work/travel visa, investing in Vietnam etc. Greetings from the sunshine state California 🤗⛱🌴 Oh, one more thing. I highly recommend Citibank account so that you can open it in many countries and transfer your fund within your Citibank accounts easily. I did it when I lived in West Germany and moved to the U.K., then to the U.S. So I had three Citibank accounts and was able to transfer my money between three countries without paying a transaction fee. Of course, you have to know the max limit of each transaction based on the country law or tax rule‼

@Aaron in Asia: You'll need a minimum 3 months visa, AND the work contract.

Found your video and really enjoyed it. Been working and living in China many years. Trouble is China is very strict! I want to live in Vietnam and enjoy life and work. I wrote to a university called FTU in Hanoi. Waiting to hear. 1) can I get work teaching in Vietnam with my experience teaching at two universities and multiple schools in China for 19 years? 2) will the work get me a long term work visa like China gets me one year visa each year I work. I like how cheap it is and I definitely want to come to Vietnam. I want to also cook in my apartment as well. I worry as I get money every month about $1300 to $1400 USD. I have Chase Bank. I don’t know if they are in Vietnam! Here they don’t even know in California! I wonder how to get my money each month.

Good video, Thank you for sharing. What is the transportation cost a month? How much for motorcycle rental and insurance per month? Do you need to get a license for riding the motorcycle?

[@TonyOi]

So buying a used motor bike 5-8 million! Gas is about 40-70k every 4-6 days. I’d recommend you buy if your staying here longer than a year rentals are generally no less than a mil for a reliable bike. So if you stay for a year you could resell a 5 mil bike back maybe for 2-3 mil and it’d save you a ton of money in the long run

Motorbike insurance isn’t much of a thing here unless you own an exspensive bike and want to buy 3rd party insurance

Wonderful video! After covers my car and motorcycle to American Triple Automobile (AAA) in USA, can I use it in VN ? Please. Thanks

[@TonyOi]

I’m not sure ! You’ll have to check with the company itself.

Hi, I noticed you are riding a bike? Do you have the budget for petrol and the bike rental?

[@TonyOi]

Yes! So generally I spend about 70k (3.08$) every 4 days on gas and depending if I drive slow or fast I can stretch that to 5/6 days. Bike rentals is 1M for a food quality avg 110cc scooter, honestly I’d just buy a bike for 5-6 M if your here longer thanks 6 months because you can sell it and make most of your money back when you leave! I own my bike so I don’t pay any monthly rental!

The biggest complaint I have heard from expats from Vietnam and tourists that have visited Vietnam is the traffic. They say things like “You risk your life every time you cross the street”. Is this true though out Vietnam, is there a difference between different areas in the city Or a difference between city and rural areas?

[@TonyOi]

Country side is way more chilled to cross. But honestly its a thrill 🤣🤣🤣 i dont often hear my expat friends complain about crossing the street!

Also you mixed the mixed expenses with personal?

$1000 is about 22tr VND - 23tr VND depend on the market. Of course, you can live with that budget quite nice. If you live a luxurious life and that expensive high end stuff that’s different story

I used to live comfortably with just 700$, food, rent, utils, entertainment in Saigon

[@TonyOi]

That is great :) I defs could go lower if I wanted to !

[@jl5731]

Was the burger and fries comparable to a burger and fries in the US? Or does it taste different?

[@TonyOi]

lots of resturants here are owned by foreingers ! so the burger had a western taste and was honestly much better than alot of burgers i've had back in candaa.

[@markholland6657]

depends how much you drink really... I lived in Phu My Hung, D7 (the other expat/expensive area of Saigon) on $1000 a month and still had change!

[@TonyOi]

Hahaha I don’t drink very often ! Expat drinking areas can defs rack up some $$ every weekend

[@markholland6657]

@@TonyOi ah yeah, I wasn't implying anything... :) it's a great city isn't it?! can't wait to come back later this yr! beers will be on me if we meet!

[@kasperpiotrowski4155]

So bro. I have a question. I'm doing my TEFL course currently and I'm enjoying it thoroughly. However I'm a little bit paranoid that i won't get hired due to the fact that a) i have no prior teaching experience and b) i don't have a bachelors degree Is it still possible to get hired in Vietnam with just a TEFL qualification or will a bachelor degree be necessary as well? And will learning to speak Vietnamese sweeten the deal as well (as I'm doing that as well anyway)?

[@TonyOi]

Dont worry youll be okay. No knowing viet will make it worse to get hired. Reason is we teach english not viet!

[@kasperpiotrowski4155]

@@TonyOi awesome thanks for the reply man much appreciated :) looking forward to exploring the country while teaching!

[@mikepfeiffer532]

i was told that Vietnam Requires a college degree

[@420BLUNTLEY]

@@TonyOi what about having the bachelor degree?

[@vihuynh6595]

Perhaps I missed it but you could have told us what District you rented and the name of your complex.

Is it dangerous to drive a scooter in HCMC? What is the tipping culture in restaurants?
