Vietnam is a popular destination among travelers due to its scenic beauty, rich culture and very affordable cost of living. For the same reasons, Vietnam is an excellent location for retirement. Moving to Vietnam can, however, be complicated. This article is here to help.
U.S. News and World Report ~ “ Vietnam is one of the most affordable places in the world to live well. A couple can live here comfortably on a budget of $1,000 per month or less. Health care, in particular, is a fraction of the cost of comparable care in the United States.
Vietnam doesn’t make things straightforward when it comes to visas and residency. Even to visit as a tourist, you’ll need to fill out an application for a visa before arriving in the country.
You can apply for a one- or three-month tourist visa and extend this up to two times before you have to leave the country to renew it. You could also apply for a business or investor visa, which could allow you to remain in the country full time indefinitely.

Vietnamese is an extremely difficult language to learn. It has 11 vowels, as opposed to English’s five, and subtle differences in pronunciation result in drastically different meanings.
English is most commonly spoken in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, but even in these cities it’s mostly the younger generation and those working in the tourism industry with English-language skills. Outside major cities you’ll meet very few English speakers. As a result, the language difference can be the greatest challenge of living in Vietnam as an expat retiree. ” ~ U.S. News and World Report
