Where should I setup a bank account in Vung Tau?

Answer this Question

We asked expats in Vung Tau what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...

"Expats considering retirement in Vung Tau should be aware that the cost of living is significantly lower than in many Western countries, making it an attractive option for those on a fixed income. The city is known for its beautiful beaches, warm climate, and relaxed lifestyle, which many retirees find appealing. However, it's important to note that healthcare facilities in Vung Tau may not be up to the standards that expats are used to in their home countries. For serious medical conditions, it may be necessary to travel to Ho Chi Minh City, which is about two hours away by car. Expats should also be aware that while many locals speak English, particularly in the tourism industry, it's not as widely spoken as in larger cities like Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi. Learning some basic Vietnamese phrases can be very helpful. The process of obtaining a visa for Vietnam can be complex and time-consuming, so it's recommended to start this process well in advance of your planned move. While Vung Tau is generally considered safe, like any city, it has its share of crime. Expats should take basic precautions to protect their personal safety and belongings. Finally, it's important to understand that while Vietnam is developing rapidly, it is still a developing country. Infrastructure, services, and amenities may not be as reliable or readily available as in more developed countries. Despite these challenges, many expats find that the benefits of living in Vung Tau, such as the low cost of living, beautiful surroundings, and friendly locals, make it a great place to retire," remarked another expat in Vung Tau, Vietnam.
