If I wish to retire in Da Nang, is there a way (at age 90) for me to avoid the six-month leave-the-country requirement? (I visited their crowded Taipei office and I checked the web visa requirements but they are complicated).
Thanks,

Money.

Invest $118,273.21 USD (鈧�3,000,000,000 VN膼) in a government approved industry and receive a 3 year Temporary Resident Card.

I see from this thread(Link) that you are aware of the 90 day tourist eVisa limit.

Which visa had you intended to use which would allow for a 6 month uninterrupted stay? Did the personnel at the VN Taipei embassy suggest a visa type?

Thank you so much for your reply.聽 I am a retired teacher, who had some tough financial experiences, so I simply can't afford to make that kind of investment.

Thanks, Aidan, for your prompt reply.聽 You, of course, are correct; it is a 90-day (not six month) tourist visa, which is even more challenging for me.聽 The lady in the Vietnam Office was kind and said, "Just go!", using the 90-day visa, and keep renewing it, but she didn't address the matter as to whether at my age, I could get a waiver of taking those out-of-country trips.聽 I am mobile now, even driving a scooter in the streets of Taipei, but my body tells me that in time, I will be slowing down, so that's the reason for my question.

Thanks; Cam on,聽 聽 聽 John

Hi John. Okay, understood.

I salute your endurance (and fortitude). I'm a couple of years north of 60, and am starting to feel the wear and tear take its toll. I'm hoping that by maintaining my elevated bacon and nicotine levels I'll be okay.

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any visa that would afford you relief from having to do border runs based on age.

Have you looked at Cambodia's generous (and very affordable) retirement visa(Link, CAM forum)

It's not Vietnam, granted, but there are some definite advantages to retiring there including a similar cost of living, no border runs (ever), cultural similarities especially in areas in close proximity to the VN-CAM border, and a very large ethnic VN population. On top of that, a day trip over to VN would not be too demanding.

If your heart's really set on VN, there's always the option of a marriage visa.馃槈
