The maximum amount I've been able to withdraw in Nha Trang has been 3M from Agribank ATM's with my US debit card with a 22,000 VND fee. It's a damn pain at the end of each month to have enough in VND to pay rent and school tuitions. ... Read More

I'm looking into the logistics of how my family and I can live in Vietnam (Nha Trang specifically) for 1-2 years. I am a Vietnamese national/US citizen, married to an American, and have two young children who would enroll in an international ...
HCMC international schools are outrageously expensive. Probably not a concern for parents whose companies will cover the tuition. That will not be our case. Fortunately, English-French International School in Nha Trang is much more affordable at ... Read More

I didn't know that was an option! The U.S. will allow dual citizenship? Do you know of anyone doing this? Family left together on a boat to HK. From there we were sponsored to NY by distant relatives who had already been in NY for a few years. ... Read More
