You don't need money there, just some rice. That's all!

There are many American citizens who live outside the country while retired. This is because the cost of living is usually much less than that in America. At this time, Vietnam's cost of living is approximately 1/8th that of living in America. You can live comfortable on about $300/month in Vietnam where you could barely live a week on that in America. That in mind, you can see why it is very attractive to live aborad while retired. How most retired people are able to live in another country is rather simple. They maintain their U.S. citizenship, a U.S. address, pay their U.S. taxes and regularly travel back to the U.S. to pick up their mail and/or retirement checks. If planning to live in Vietnam, you will need to make sure your visa will be valid long enough to stay as long as you are there. Vietnam had given the U.S. favored nation status a few years ago (although the favor has not been reciprocated as of yet), which will make it relatively easy to stay there as long as you want. Have a good retirement!

There is a place just across the street from the ben than market that has good quality north face and other packs for a better price than you can get them in the market.

Well, if you can't find them and you live in Saigon, I don't know how we poor, schmoes back here could help. lol If you don't get an answer here, you could try to contact the American Chamber of Commerce in either Saigon or Hanoi. Good luck

How To become a citizen of Vietnam

How To become a citizen of Vietnam?
I really want to live in Vietnam when I am older, My parents and my grandparents are from Vietnam and they left during the war to come to America, I was just wondering what are some of the requirements that Vietnam has that will tell me what I have to do to become a permanent resident in Vietnam. Thanks

If you were not born there then you cannot become a citizen (at this time) However, that doesn't mean that the law will never change. Since you are the child of Viet kieu, you may have an easier time gaining permanent residency than someone like me. My wife and children are Viet citizens and if I spent $200,000 or more to start a business, I could probably acquire permanent residency as long as I either remained in business or gave the right person in the government a very large gift. At the present time, I do not know of any other way around the country's immigration laws. You can always go to Viet Nam as a tourist and just keep renewing your Visa pretty much indefinitely, that seems to be what most foreigners do to live there full-time.

once you livein Vietnam long enough, you can always relinquish of your current country citizenship and apply for the Vietnam..good luck
