GIVING UP my US Citizenship for a Vietnam Passport?!! (

[@phucmapvlog]

Thanks for having me on the channel! Hopefully, my experience can help others with their life in Vietnam.

[@Tam11989]

Xin chào phắc mập 😎🤗🤗🤗🤗😜

[@jimmckinnon7148]

I find Phúc Mập to be a honest person. His videos are funny and educational. They are very helpful as I'm learning Vietnamese.

[@nickdual]

Only your DI---CK looks like Vietnamese

[@tusuong7654]

Please do not give up your rights and freedom to the communist party controlling you totally . There were 1 million Vietnamese boat people escaped Vietnam , a half of them died at sea or killed , rapped by pirate of Thailand . The freedom is so expensive because the boat people find the freedom near death experiences.

Phuc Map I watched a few of your recent video tours in the USA, Im eliving in Saigon now and liked some of the Vietnam fusion food you were tasting in the US and was amazed at the quantity of food you were sampling . I stopped watching after the first few videos in the USA. So seeing you now I realized you are now paying the price with a large weight gain. Need to keep your health and exercise and cut out the heavy carbs along with rice and noodles. The extra weight can kill you. Great Video interview.

[@shannonsx4143]

So glad finally to see you 2 together ! I've been following both channels for years =]

[@dennisphung386]

Hello Mr. Duong, I've been watching your youtube channel for about 4 months now. I have to say this is the best show you have made so far. You and Phuc Map have covered about of very important topics regarding the interchanged cultures of American and Vietnamese. I've learned a few good advices as well. Again, thank you for making this video and sharing it with all. Please keep up a great work and who knows I may need you in the near future for some legal work and advices.
Best regards,
Dennis

[@duongglobalbusinessconsulting]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@sebastianniqvist3144]

This guy can speak Vietnamese and that is a super achievement because tonal languages are on a different level.
I thought mandarin was hard, Vietnamese is way tougher. Good work!

Have you tried (แบบไทย) Thai? The very definition of complexity.

[@danieljackson1272]

As someone who has studied both Mandarin and Vietnamese, I can definitely confirm Vietnamese is much harder in regards to the tones.

[@Wadser]

@@ebx100Thai is a bit easier if you know Vietnamese. Fewer tones. Harder to go opposite but after a little bit of adjustment not too bad.

[@doanduong7119]

Great video, Phuc map come across as a really nice guy and very humble. Finally a video by Ken that doesn't come across as gringy selling your product/service (but there were some of that in there). I appreciated you asking Phuc some hard hitting question and hopefully educated him on some of the intricacies of Vietnam jungle laws.

[@pomanprod]

Grass is always greener on the other side!

[@CentralHighland]

For people who only heard about the other side from someone and move there, yes. For Phuc map, no, he tried around Asia before he stayed here in Vietnam, you experience and you choose, not listen to someone and choose.

[@user-fn9wd1qx7c]

Exactly! I couldn't agree more .

[@deanbrown3954]

Great job Ken

[@cliftonwaldrep4238]

Thanks Ken, I never heard of "Phuc Map" before, but I'm now subscribed to his channel. Also enjoyed the information on marrying in Vietnam and proving the marriage by having needed 5 years of documentation, when the time comes. ☮ 👍

[@clementngable]

Thank you very much for your good ideas. Have a Happy New Year celebration in Vietnam.

Hello Phuc Map, I wish you all the luck and happiness in my country! However things can change at any moment un notice! So keep on living and be happy!

[@rickdavis2710]

Sorry, I disagree with your guest. I do live in Vietnam but never would give up my US Citizenship. I love Vietnam and it’s people. My Wife is Vietnamese and a US Citizen. We own a home in Vietnam . I love America too. I wish your guest well.

[@anthony-tranmrvietfun7031]

Phúc Mập needs to go in front of the US immigration judge to denounce his US Citizenship. I hope he got his wishes!

[@sydviv126]

Phuc Map is not giving up his US citizenship. He probably will pass the proficiency requirements to obtain a Vietnamese passport. This is what I gather in this meeting.

[@elizabeth78269]

You need to watch the interview one more time. Ken Duong advised Phuc Map that he can have dual citizenship. A lot of Vietnamese American have dual citizenship as well. I don't see the need to have Vietnamese citizenship other than just so you can do business in VN.

[@SaigBvgTf]

Is inspring teacher for the peoples! He can help many american peoples in Distrit 1 speak Vetnam and do acting business! Is good team with Mr Ken in wiskey and ciger bars and he knows many things about Vetnam! He knows money bride games the peoples play for Vetnam’s womans too.

[@davidojeda3986]

I enjoyed this video (Duong/Phucmap). Phucmap likes and dislikes were right on. One dislike I have are the VN individuals that work in the people business. I wish they would smile more and not be so stoic. Just saying. Keep up the good videos Mr. Duong.

[@intheworkscamp-inrv1147]

@@QuangWynn2711 Tuy anh Phúc Mập chỉ có nói giỡn thôi , nhưng cũng làm cho nhiều người Việt Kiều ngạc nhiên . Tại vì , thường thường , đối với những người tỵ nạn vì chính trị hoặc tôn giáo , nước Mỹ gần như là thiên đàn ở trần gian . Có nhiều người Việt Kiều tỵ nạn đã trải qua bao nhiêu gian khổ luôn cả hy sinh , vậy bạn nghĩ coi cái quốc tịch Mỹ quí báu cỡ nào ? 😉 Không chỉ có riêng tôi nhận xét , mà nhiều phụ nữ Vietnam cũng nghĩ vậy 🤣. Nếu anh Phúc Mập không nói giỡn , riêng tôi cũng ngạc nhiên , là tại vì đa số chỉ có 3 loại người này mới bỏ quốc tịch của nơi họ , nơi họ sinh ra mà nghe cũng có lý (1) sống không được vì mất tự do hoặc mất quyền lợi hoặc cầm sử dụng nghề nghiệp (2) bất lợi về kinh tế vì đóng thuế quá nhiều , thường thường giành riêng cho đại gia giàu có công ty hoặc kinh doanh ngân hàng toàn quốc (3) tỵ nạn chính trị hoặc tôn giáo
Anh Phúc Mập không lọt vào loại nào . Không thấy có lợi , vậy bỏ quốc tịch Mỹ để làm gì . Hay là xin quốc tịch VN và giữ luôn 2 quốc tịch 😉.

Hi Ken, the VN marriage visa, (5 yr multi-entry) allows you to work on VN as well? Thanks

One of the oddest thing about Vietnam is they nearly always see being Vietnamese as an Ethnicity not a nationality. In Europe you can be black, asian, mixed ethnicity and still be french, british, german and so on

We are unsure about what you are saying. You do not need to be born in Vietnam to be Vietnamese.

[@leigh7507]

@duongglobalbusinessconsulting they don't consider white or black people to be vietnamese even if they spend twenty years in Vietnam. However, if a viet born person spent their life in Canada they would be called Canadian. Vietnam is based mostly on race

I know many people who are foreigners who married a VN citizen and apply for the VN passport without applying for the Citizenship card.

[@user-fn9wd1qx7c]

Excuse me Mr. Duong, but I must have a question for you: Are you a US citizen, You have a good English speaking, but still having Asian accent! If you are American citizen, I think, you should not do anything to give bad impression about your country! and should not encourage a real American getting rid of his nationality to bear another citizenship! He may not betray his people, his country, his people, and their history. Are you trying to convince many Vietnamese Americans to return to this communist country?

[@duongglobalbusinessconsulting]

What is a real American?

[@user-fn9wd1qx7c]

a native born American. a US national, not US citizen by naturalization like immigrants@@duongglobalbusinessconsulting

[@duongglobalbusinessconsulting]

Sorry, but the United States is not Vietnam. There are no real or fake Americans. Either you are American or you are not. And for the record, Attorney Ken Duong is American. Not sure where you picked up the "Asian accent" and we do not see how it relates to your point anyway.
You might be watching the wrong channel, as we encourage people to get second, third and even fourth citizenship. Hope it helps.

[@trungdoan2505]

Im just gonna assume ur mentally challenged and not a racist lolll. (Giving u the benefit of the doubt) cause A REAL AMERICAN would be Indian American before british colonised USA. As much as u would like to think YOU ARE A REAL AMERICAN, in that sense as an indigenous. YOU ARE NOT. You are as american as many people there either by naturalisation or by birth. And please, step off the delusional pedestal of priviledge u think u have just cause u were born there. U will progress so much further in life, thank me after

Depends on the accent. There are multiple ways to pronounce it based on the region it is spoken.
