    Thanks for sharing, I think you left out a very important part of everyday life...HEALTH CARE, what if something happens to you physically and mentally, I mean the cost, the service, the quality of service, the medication, the ER, the private vs public health service. What about health insurance? Is it going to be on your next video? Thank you!

    • @MoveToAsia
      @MoveToAsia  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      We won't necessarily only talk about health insurance (for recommendations, you can fill this form : movetoasia.com/en/vietnam/health-insurance/#best-reviews ) but the healthcare in general.

    I think you guys left out something really important that can scare long term visitors away. You have to report to the local government besides 30 days Visa.

    • @MoveToAsia
      @MoveToAsia  ปีที่แล้ว

      We did talked about the visa situation from 16:10 . For long-term living, being register at the police of your ward is a hassle for you ? Your landlord usually takes care of it himself.

    Do you know if Vietnam will go back to the 90 day tourist visa. Much better for visa runs. I have heard rumors Vietnam may be doing the 90 day visa again.

      If you are here to work or invest, Vietnam grants 2-year work visa through work permit. Not that hard to get tho.

      True. Most foreigners will register their kids in private schooling. That's why it will be a big thing to consider for us when it comes to this stage.
