I joined yesterday. Today, found my inbox swamped with messages 'from girls'. Have a slight suspicion that not all the messages may be legit. Perhaps, to temp me in to signing-up for the paid subscriptions? Can anyone using the paid ...
Vietnam Cupid is the absolute worst dating site in Vietnam. Nothing but bots, scammers, hookers, retired pros, and formerly promiscuous women in redemption. A real waste of 40 dollars. I'd recommend Tinder. Much more mainstream and you can ... Read More

I don't see the purpose or point of marrying a woman here.Curious opinion. If you not see the purpose or point of marrying a woman here, then you don't see the point of marrying a woman in general.How did you come up with that logic, genius? Read More

Hello, I am from Western Europe, working in Hong Kong and I applied for a 3-month Vietnam business visa via an agency. I got an email from the agent telling me that I was denied, as the immigration told them "I have violated the laws of ...
I was personally advised against getting a 1 year visa recently because, according to my agent, there's a huge investigation underway at the immigration office for those who have been staying without a TRC / VEC and many have found themselves on ... Read More
Why do expats continue to move, live, and retire in the Philippines? by Nielsen Flute
This country has so many strikes against it that no sane person should negotiate with. Let's begin. Low quality of life and high costs. Even in Cebu now for a small studio rent is 25k for a cramped space with no internet / cable. Value for ...
It'd be nice to see some demographics / age / which city you're living in. My suspicion is that only guys ages 40++ who live outside major metro areas with their families and limited exposure to expats have the positive experiences and nice ... Read More

Why expats love Vietnam? by Anne-Lise Mty
Hi everyone, I'm Anne-Lise from the ½ûÂþÌìÌà team. In a survey we ran on expatriation trends in 2019, we realised that a lot of professionals were considering Vietnam as an expat destination. We, therefore, decided to put together a little ...
This is my third visit to Vietnam. Warm weather, good healthy food (International dishes as well), nice people, safe, low rent, and generally lower cost of living. Had girlfriend in HCM. Good looking and in my general age range. However, she was ... Read More
