The WORST part about living in VIETNAM...

[@NexxoExxon]

I'm glad you made it through. I'm Canadian and the first time I visited Vietnam for 4 months my travel agent somehow got me approve for a 6 months stay every time. I don't know the technicality but I guess I should be grateful for not having to do a monthly entry.

[@Digitalnomad8]

Really enjoyed the post today really good advice and experience. Thanks for Sharing. Xin chào and welcome back look forward to your next post

[@btwgrom]

Aye! This is the video I was looking for to clear some of my stress, kind of lol. Been confused on the visa rules since they keep changing the deadlines. Out of all the videos and research I've been looking into, no one has shown the reality of these Visa run situations, appreciate u

[@caitlingilley2228]

Great video, Travis! You look very happy. Best wishes to you!

[@TravisTravelsVN]

Thanks for watching Cait! Hope your family is doing well.

[@mikelam5707]

It's good that the visa situation will return to the normal way starting August. I hope things will go your way, Travis. 👍

[@TravisTravelsVN]

Thanks man I appreciate it. I've been pretty lucky in Vietnam so far shouldn't complain too much I guess!

[@wisdom9644]

Whoa, doing that every 30 days would be Hanoi'ing.

[@TravisTravelsVN]

haha I like what you did there....luckily its changed to 90 day visas now

[@lantathi825]

God bless you, Travis. Hope things will be a lot easier for you in the near future.

[@TravisTravelsVN]

Thank you, in general life is very easy in Vietnam. Just sometimes the visas are annoying.

[@hisnameisvu]

I was nervous for you, brother. I had a hiccup as well when I flew out to Vietnam this year. The thing is that immigration here nearly didn't let me fly out of Australia because my Visa had Allowed to Entry Through Tan Son Nhat International Airport (Checkpoint) but they said it supposed to say Tan Son Nhat International Airport (Ho Chi Minh City) checkpoint, they also told me that I needed to go to a travel agent at the airport and explain the situation to them, to which I did but if the travel agent said otherwise I couldn't go through with that particular Visa I would have to fork out $500 for another Visa, it was so stupid but luckily I was able to go through with the Visa I had.. anyway glad Vietnam is doing the 90 day Visa extension.. I love it when you said 3:04 "if you want to live in the best country in the world"

[@TravisTravelsVN]

Vietnam is making it hard for anyone to come to Vietnam. They make you apply a few days in advance and then reject it for all sorts of reasons. I got stuck in Thailand for 9 days a couple months ago while I was waiting to get things sorted out. Anyways, seems like it will be better soon.

[@hisnameisvu]

@TravisTravelsVN let's just hope so for yours and everyone who wants to travel to Vietnam, I do plan to come back again soon.. once it gets better, I'll definitely book a flight over.. seems to me I miss Vietnam more than before, I guess I see it through my eyes and perspective. You've rejuvenated my love for the country more and more - thank you brother

[@lantathi825]

Come and live in Saigon, Travis. Interesting, new experiences you'll have

[@TravisTravelsVN]

I've just moved to Da nang, but I will visit Saigon again in the future!

[@DoctorOnce]

I've had "trouble" with my visa or my daughter's passport etc. several times when entering or leaving Viet Nam. Sadly, they were shaking me down for a bribe.

[@elperro3056]

Hahaha I like how u was honest I be back today 🤣 visa run

[@busfahrer09]

dumb question, do I get a new passport in my embassy when the pages are full? You obviously didn't travel back to the US after that...

[@DEEPCYCLEGARAGE]

Just because i enjoy cannabis I may look to ex-pat in Thailand. I hear you can rent a nice apartment outside of the main city areas and live for about $1k a month all in? IDK looking at all my options.

[@extendedp1]

Good video. This is my second of yours I have seen after YT recommended one of your others for some reason. ;) Is the 30 day requirement finished? What is crime like in Vietnam? Is it friendly for westerners? Thanks

[@TravisTravelsVN]

30 day ended back in August 2023, I believe. Crime is almost non-existent here. Most westerners love to live in Vietnam

[@extendedp1]

@@TravisTravelsVN thanks for the reply. I was wondering if the native Vietnamese are ok with people doing what you are doing? For instance I heard that native Hawaiians do not warmly welcome people from the mainland moving to the islands. Thanks

[@TravisTravelsVN]

Vietnamese are generally very friendly to foreigners and proud that foreigners want to live and travel in their country

[@extendedp1]

@@TravisTravelsVN thank you

Is there a retirement visa 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@elperro3056]

🇻🇳 the best now I plan going back soon I have not been there in like 6 year I heard it blew up now

[@TravisTravelsVN]

Vietnam is on the rise but still super low tourists compared to a place like Thailand. But ya I'm sure a lots changed you should come back and check it out. Cheers for the comment bro

[@johnnyhongmao]

your wee face was a picture when they let you on 😂🙌🏼

[@TravisTravelsVN]

I'm not kidding bro I was sweating, thought I was stuck in Thailand again

[@VermaFe]

Was nervous for you😅!

[@TravisTravelsVN]

It's stressful leaving every month but it will be better soon I think...

[@Paul-cg1bn]

How can you do visa runs? Don't you have to send in an application to get approval to get back into Vietnam?

[@TravisTravelsVN]

This video was from when you could still leave and come back same day. Nowadays you can still do it this way but you have to pay a visa agent to fast track the visa in 1 day.

[@Paul-cg1bn]

That's the trick. It makes it more worth it now that we get 90 days instead of just 30. Thanks!

[@NuelOtene]

Hello Travis, thank you for your insightful videos. I am a Nigerian with a Higher National Diploma in computer science, TEFL certificate, and 1+ years of teaching experience. i wish to come over with a tourist visa and look for a teaching job. Kindly advise me accordingly.

[@TravisTravelsVN]

Hanoi is the best opportunity for teaching English but also Ho Chi Minh city. I would suggest joinng some facebook groups and try to contact companies beforehand. If a company offers you a job they can help with visa and work permits

[@JacobyDueck]

What do you do for work man?

[@TravisTravelsVN]

I had a career teaching Autistic kids for about 10 years. Now just focusing on the YT

[@swizzthesecond]

@@TravisTravelsVN Thank you for teaching special needs students. I like your videos and wish you a lot of success. 🙂

[@ArtAndAnne]

Runnnn 🏃‍♂️🏃🏻😂

[@ButteredWaffle86]

So now you do this every 90 days? Not bad but still annoying

[@TravisTravelsVN]

Yes every 90 days pretty annoying. But most of the time I have some trip I would be doing anyways. So really its only about once a year, I have to leave just for the sake of a visa run.

[@ButteredWaffle86]

@TravisTravelsVN once a year? Are they relaxed on the 90 day limit? That would make me super nervous. Looking for a place I can stay 6 months to indefinitely.

[@samfire2920]

[@RandomAsia5555]

Not having enough pages on your passport lol. First world problems. 😅
