I'm going to Vietnam next month (Phu Quoc), and now I'm scared to go because I have already booked an Airbnb for 3 months. 😥🤨

[@truecentral718]

Don't be scared - just be informed. Airbnbs are fine, as long as the airbnb owner has the licence they need. When you arrive, they shoud take copies of you passports to register you with the authorities - if they do not do that, they are probably not legit. Just contact them and ask them to confirm they are licensed. They should be able to give you their license number, and in fact most of them include it in their listing. We stayed at a great airbnb in Hanoi, which did everything right and we had an amazing stay.

An honest video. Nobody asked but if there are any men reading this that want to marry a VN women in Vietnam AND there are to be children involved be aware that you are living under VN law. You will be held to the strictest rules because the motto of VN is 'The Foreigner Always Pays' and that is just the way it is. If you have created a child in VN and / or married a VN woman and THEN things are not working out? I mean you KNOW things are not going to last? You would be best to keep your mouth shut, hire an attorney to handle your request and leave the country. Then use that attorney to end the relationship legally and negotiate a settlement for the child's needs. Sew it up, finalize it with legal recording of settlement and divorce and then and only then you can reenter the country and try again. People can say I am wrong but it's my opinion having lived there and met my share of heartbroken, wallet destroyed foreigners. I do advocate to do the right thing for the child in some capacity but being out of Vietnam to make a deal gives you leverage the opposite of if you stay in Vietnam.

Tet is a family holiday and even though the vietnamese are usually super hard working that's the time for them to close their businesses for up to 7 days and visit all their relatives. So from a tourist perspective you'll have limited options during that time.

Despite Laughing Ballon being banned in Vietnam, how come some nightlife in HCM Q1 are still able to distribute them?

[@duongglobalbusinessconsulting]

Great question. Here’s the thing-just because something is banned doesn’t mean it magically disappears. Vietnam, like many places, has its own underground scene where rules get bent or ignored, especially in the nightlife districts. Some venues know how to play the game, slipping under the radar or ‘greasing the right palms’ to keep things running. But don’t get it twisted-just because they’re distributing doesn’t mean it’s legal. All it takes is one wrong move, one inspection, and those places are shut down faster than they can sell their next laughing balloon. The law is the law, and playing with fire like that comes with risks, no matter how ‘normal’ it seems.

Grab drivers (the cars at least) are required to be assigned as a contracted vehicle, and so on. Just follow the golden rule: - Don't post dumb stuff while you're in the country. And do NOT try something political - Don't get services from shady providers. Especially the "Grab" drivers that offers massa bumbum - Put on that damn helmet

I have taken Grab exclusively when in Vietnam and i never had any trouble. If you are concerned about Airbnb, then go onto Agoda, hotel prices are very affordable. I only stay at hotels. The people of Vietnam are very friendly and have a desire to get to know you. The prices are great, my money goes very far in Vietnam. Don't worry about the language barrier, most young Vietnamese can speak some level of English, English is taught in their schools.

[@duongglobalbusinessconsulting]

We agree-Vietnam is an incredible place with welcoming people and plenty to offer. The purpose of this video isn’t to scare people or drive views; it’s to inform travelers of the regulations that exist, even if they’re not strictly enforced.

Enjoying Vietnam to the fullest means staying aware, not unbothered.

[@duongle4480]

It is not nearly anywhere as bad as Ken mentioned. Foreigners come in Vietnam and frequently change where they stay. There is not an easy way to track the movements. Some true items, Opening a business is not a walk in the park. Naming a business is also more headaches than necessary. Overall you will enjoy Vietnam much more than Singapore.

[@duongglobalbusinessconsulting]

Appreciate your perspective, but let’s be real-just because foreigners move around freely doesn’t mean the laws don’t exist. Vietnam has regulations in place for tracking foreign residents, whether people choose to follow them or not. It’s not about how easy it is to dodge the system; it’s about the risks you’re taking when you do. As for setting up a business, you nailed it-there’s no 'walk in the park' here. The headaches with naming a business and dealing with the red tape are real. But like anywhere else, it’s a trade-off. Sure, Vietnam offers plenty to enjoy, especially compared to Singapore’s rigid structure, but that doesn’t mean you can ignore the challenges.

But knowing them keeps you from being the one who gets caught off guard. So, no, we’re not here to scare anyone-we’re here to make sure people stay informed. Just because you haven’t faced these issues doesn’t mean they don’t exist. It’s not about whether the police will act, but knowing the laws so you don’t end up blindsided. Ignorance might feel convenient until it isn’t-especially when the 'minor' stuff piles up. But hey, thanks for at least agreeing on the business naming part.

You are wrong. I lived in HCMC many times. You get caught during a raid, forget about it. Go have a joint and see what happens, if arrested. You will be wearing the old French style prison wear. Nice stripes.

Do Anh, actually, Ken knows exactly what he’s talking about. We deal with these laws and regulations daily, so we’re sharing real facts, not ‘bullshit.’ Just because you haven’t experienced it and you are a resentful VK doesn’t mean the laws don’t exist or don’t matter. Ignorance might feel convenient, but it doesn’t change reality.

Frankly, lots of nonsense and I say this appreciating most of your posts. "Walk in the park" to open a business: where is it and is that just something to get clients to your firm? Fact is that it IS easy and no hassle to set up a plc, goes fast, marginal chartere capital required and a good local law firm does that for a fee million vnd. The alleged hassle with grab and airbnb: there might be respective laws but have never heard any case ... . So please stop to create auch nothing-burger "warnings"

[@duongglobalbusinessconsulting]

We’re not here to sugarcoat things or sell dreams. Setting up a business in Vietnam can be straightforward for some, but let's not pretend there are no obstacles. Sure, you might find it 'easy' to set up a PLC with a few million VND, but ask anyone who’s been in the game longer than a few months-they’ll tell you it’s not just about the registration. The real challenge begins after you’ve signed the papers. It's about navigating local regulations, dealing with licensing requirements, and understanding the intricacies of Vietnamese law. We don’t create 'nothing-burger warnings'-we provide real advice for people who want to do things right and avoid costly mistakes down the line. As for Grab and Airbnb, it’s easy to ignore the legal risks when you're not the one facing fines or losing property. Just because you haven't heard of a case doesn't mean it doesn’t exist. People thought the same until they got caught up in legal issues they didn’t expect. We’re not here to scare anyone, just to educate. You can ignore the advice if you want-but those who take it seriously will be the ones staying out of trouble. Simple as that

[@DORSEYLANDRIA]

Bro. Why do you hate Vietnam so much ? Air B n B is legal. On my way to Phu Quoc

[@duongglobalbusinessconsulting]

Hate Vietnam? Hardly. We’re putting this info out because we actually want people to have a good experience here without getting blindsided by local laws. Airbnb might be operating, but there are rules around registration that can impact guests if things go sideways. Ignoring reality isn’t helpful for anyone. If you’re off to Phu Quoc, enjoy-but don’t confuse facts with hate and watch the video as many times as needed until you understand.

[@SuperANDREWTAN]

Can you stop spreading false information. You are just affecting vietnam tourism industry! Stop your nonsense

[@duongglobalbusinessconsulting]

Let’s set the record straight-this is not ‘false information’ or ‘nonsense.’ We’re sharing real facts about regulations and laws that exist in Vietnam. Ignoring these does not make them go away; it just leaves people unprepared. We are here to inform, not harm tourism. In fact, being informed about local laws helps visitors have a safer, smoother experience, which ultimately benefits everyone, including the tourism industry. As a matter of fact, we did more for Vietnam tourism than anyone here, including you.

[@SuperANDREWTAN]

So why do you need to mention about somebody knocking on the door and next moment that person is going to be in lock up? What has it got to do with the foreign visitor if the airbnb is not registered with the relevant authority!

[@duongglobalbusinessconsulting]

The point is that if an Airbnb isn’t registered, guests can still end up in an uncomfortable situation-even if they’re not directly responsible. Imagine being questioned or caught up in a shutdown because the host didn’t follow local rules and that happened recently. Check out our latest video. We’re not saying everyone’s getting locked up, but it’s about being aware of potential issues that could disrupt your stay. Knowing the reality helps visitors avoid surprises-that’s it.
