    As an American citizen, I used to live in HCMC. I taught 6th and 8th graders maths and science full time. I unfortunately got locked out by the pandemic during a two-week trip to USA. I now live in the Philippines. But there are no opportunities to teach here, and there are several other things that make the Philippines unsuitable to me. I would love to return to Vietnam but at age 66 I am having difficulties getting a TRC. Any suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks!

    As someone who has been retired years in Saigon I can’t agree more that it is a great place to retire I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else in the World. However I was lucky that I had married a Vietnamese otherwise that option isn’t available to most of the world’s population. They should come up with a retirement visa however they should make it fairly strict with proven assets and income so that Vietnam doesn’t end up with all the garbage of the world . 20 years ago no one would want to live in Vietnam but it is getting to the point that it is better then the west and Vietnam will end up with undesirable people from the hell holes of the world you can see it starting now .Malaysia had a good retirement scheme however they changed it now that you have to show retirement income of 80,000 USD a year out of reach for many .Thailand has more reasonable requirements and I know a few retirees that are getting tired of going every 30 days to the Moc Bia border to get fleeced and are considering Thailand even though they love Vietnam more . The one thing that one thinks when they hear the word retire is you worked hard all your life you have a pension and passive income already so that you can sit back and smell the roses . Last thing you think of is traveling to the other side of the world to invest in some kind of business. I am afraid recent events has muddied the waters as far as investing any money in Vietnam. The 2nd richest person in Vietnam a billionaire the Vietnamese Chinese business lady has been arrested and it’s not clear the crime but could end up in jail for a very long time and many around her are committing Jeffery Epstein’s in Jail . She is a big fish well connected to the Ho Chi Minh government yet she gets pinched what do you think they do to the small fishes ? I would recommend men to come and find a nice girl to marry and if you are already married perhaps dump your wife and come to Vietnam for a upgrade 😉

Its weird to me and i'd love to hear Kev's thoughts on his thoughts after 10 years as MOST westerns tend to just leave and take their wife or not..back to their home town saying they can afford too. As many that marry and retire in VIetnam tend to be playing a last card I know that sounds harsh but fo rme being 8 years in VIetnam i saw it A LOOOTTTTTTT I been to over 70 wedding in VIetnam being Vnese or western + VNese, my channel i have a few recorded for this NONE of the westerns marriages which i didn't even know 80% of them just invted though a friend were pretty much hail marrying their life as they didn't have much back home. I do agree with you at end, other places to retire and better, Thailand OFFERS legal means to retire or even stay long term If someone is retiring that means they have a pnetion check thus they can afford to do so, Thailand and Laos offer means to hell even Malaysia does too i think most of them just require you to have like 1500 to 2000 a month constant income from something.
