    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.

    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.

      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!

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‼

    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?

It's a different ball game around here now... It's high tech, and it's on track! You want to compete with the Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, and South Koreans for your piece of the Asian Market? Then you gotta prove you can handle the load, Jack!"_

    $1000 a month in Vietnam, you should be expecting to live like a king. Average monthly income is $200. The low laborers earn as less as $50 a month. With the dirt cheap cost of living, makes me want to go to Vietnam and live for a year just to enjoy slower pace and not worry about a single thing. Best thing is it wouldn't cost me anything out of pocket by living off of my investments which earn daily interest return of $300 per day..

    You can live for much less than $1000 per month in Saigon . We spend $400/month on rent in D4 and eat local street food or buy vegetables to eat at home for around $4 a day. Thao Dien is seen as the the more exclusive area so the rent and food costs are higher.

      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!

      If you already have a Moto liscence back home you can convert here very easy. If not and you have a car you have to convert to a car license then go do the bike practical test (driving no written)
      You can buy third party insurance for your bike incase if damages.
