What do I need to know before moving to Vung Tau?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Vung Tau, they said...

"Expats moving to Vung Tau should be aware that the city is a popular beach destination, known for its long, sandy beaches and warm climate. The cost of living in Vung Tau is generally lower than in larger cities like Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi. The city is relatively small, so getting around is easy, but public transportation is limited, so many expats choose to rent or buy a motorbike for commuting. The official language is Vietnamese, but English is commonly spoken in tourist areas and by younger locals. The local cuisine is seafood-based due to its coastal location, but international food options are also available. Expats should also be aware that Vung Tau has a slower pace of life compared to larger Vietnamese cities. The healthcare facilities in Vung Tau are adequate for minor health issues, but for serious conditions, it may be necessary to travel to Ho Chi Minh City. The city is generally safe, but like any other place, it's important to take precautions against petty crime. Expats should also be aware of the local customs and traditions to avoid any cultural misunderstandings. Lastly, it's important to have the right visa and work permit if you plan to work in Vung Tau. The process can be complex, so it's recommended to seek advice from a professional or someone who has gone through the process," explained one expat living in Vung Tau, Vietnam.
