I'm trying to find some international schools in Da Nang. I want to move there next month and I need a school for my 7 year-old daughter. I know that there's Singapore International School there but I don't know the fees.... Are there any other ...

I am Harry from US, I am sick and tire of working right now. I am thinking about quitting my job and expat to VN. Can someone let me know how much Health insurance cost in HCMC? Does Ph瓢峄漬g/Qu岷璶 giving a hard time if you're ...

Approx. what percentage of doctors/hospitals recognize/accept those types of insurance plans? (If available, I'd like the data specifically for Da Nang) Would I be pretty limited in where I could go for coverage? Read More

Degree cerificate. by Lore87
Hi all, I was speaking with different members about degree certificates and work permits and there looks to be different procedures depending on your country of origin. So my question is, any expat managed to get the work permit by simply taking ...
Link doesn't work, but this is helpful. Did you only have to legalize your University diploma, or also high school? What about teaching certificate? Did the organization accept it without it being translated into Vietnamese? Read More
