Come to Vietnam, here we treat people, tourists and retirees with dignity. 90 days with a same day turnaround at the nearest border. Cost $25.

Foreigner ?? Works in the Vietnam government immigration office .. What BS !!

@Darren ******

Interesting, as a foreigner . You have direct intelligent sources within the Vietnamese immigration departments ..Which department my Vietnamese partner likes to know .

Roland Winter Meaning ? A Yankee that is lost in his own mind ?

@Darren ******

Then you're hearing wrongly. Latest news from the immigration department is to select a stronger voice in promoting Vietnam as the easiest country to visit in SE Asia. In addition, the country is focusing on attracting international "snow birds" to aid in the rebuilding of the tourism industry that took a severe hit during covid. Pre- Covid, one only had to contact an agency to pick up ones PP and have it delivered to one's door, few days later. I personally lived here for years without leaving the country. Those are facts .. not rumors.

@Darren ******

Same as pre covid .. only cheaper

Live and owned business in Chiang Mai over several years. To have a frank and open conversation in Thailand .. best to be done in a park environment, or risk 15+ years in solitaire confinement.

Allow me to educate you. Out of 56 companies that exited China, 26 relocated to Vietnam, 11 went to Thailand, rest disbursed through other Asian countries. From the central DaNang and south, country is fully bilingual. A 4 bedroom, modern, fully furnished house, centrally located, terraced, large garden is about $450 -470. One month deposit, (not 2 months as in most parts of Thailand). The average monthly cost is <$1000, including all food and drink. Safest country in SE Asia and far less pollution than in Thailand. And the longest coastal areas of all. PS. Zero tax on any income.

Tell me why it is not ..

Come to Vietnam, it is far cheaper, easier and far more interesting. Visa is flexible .. 90 days and extension cost is $55. As many extensions as you like.
