Can an expat open a bank account in Hanoi?
I have a visa exemption.
If yes, what are the best bank options?

I vote for Timo of VPbank.
No monthly bank fee, almost no withdrawal fee and bank transfer to another bank system is also free with some bank.
But I've just used them locally.

I'm a local, but I've heard many expats voted for Timo as well.
