That's awesome to hear!

I'm going but I don't know whether to visit in a group tour or on my own? Which place has nightlife but also stuff to do during the day?

@@douglas3286 i would say on your own is better because it is more freedom to visit places than going on a tour. City centres have nightlife, for example I live Ho Chi Minh city. Hanoi, Haiphong, Nha Trang, Da Nang or just any of big cities. During day time, you can walk around the streets and try foods or something. Hope this helps you.

I'm thinking of moving to Vietnam from the UK.

@@ninja.teacher It's not "Awesome".. Its Splendid !

Also Koreans look down on foreigners.

@@matrices3987 exactly

Are you a really Korean??

Yeah 💗💗💗

Its not too late to go. Its a great country to be in

VN doesn't require tips unless you're in the bar, doing beauties or police bribes, charity is not necessarily, most charity are greeds organizations.. never know which one are good..

They're a socialist country which completely goes against the idea of charities and tips since a collectivised nation with workplace democracy should also be paying their workers more than enough to live. Whilst charities go against the idea of equality in communism, indicating there's an oppressed group (homeless, sweatshop workers, starving people etc) that you'd be donating to for assumed humanitarian aid. Aiding Vietnam for a developed future? That's what taxes are for lol

@@Nga-1984 I have been to Vietnam twice in the last year - mainly HCMC - and I tipped everywhere, even some of my Grab and Gojek drivers and tips were graciously accepted

Please do not bring your western values to spoil a good country with a horrible concept like tipping in Vietnam. It won’t be so cheap in the future

Thanks for watching and I appreciate the comment!

Yes If you can deal with VC policy then you are ok.

@@royt3462 They are creating jobs and development, people enjoy all the services. Why deal with them? Communism is good, the important thing is that it is applied to which country and who implements it.

@@intelligence1300 how about Vietnam's human rights?

@@royt3462 In Vietnam, there are enough human rights. More than 100 million people are living and working here happily. Also there are a lot of foreigners there

good luck to you

That’s exciting!

I visited vietnam at 2020 an unexpected time happened. Taxis extremely expensive and some of restaurants eat dogs?! 🙂 yes, people are kind, but most of them are not. I discovered that Vietnamese people hate Thai people even though i love Vietnamese people because I have my friends there. I was not impressed at crossing the street “dangerous” they honked the car horn at me :( and the motorcycle rode on the pavement 🥲

I want to live in Vietnam but lowkey scared of China being right next door

Since American, I feel like if one day if China invades Vietnam, they will for sure capture me since I’m American

Is doesn't matter hahaa@@skorpion1474

Vietnam love you too

i've seen this complaint many times regarding 1 month visa, but i was in VN 2 months ago and they allowed me to stay for 6 months (my vacation only lasted 3 weeks though). i have US passport, but im not sure if thats because i was born and raised in VN

@@christheconqueor hmmm that explains

I don't think Vietnam currently offers a longer term visa specifically for retirees but if you're a US citizen, you can get 1-year multiple entry visa (I think it's only for US citizens, as reciprocity for 1-year US visa for Vietnam citizens). I can't post a link here but you can google 1-year Vietnam visa for US passport holders.

@@mryantong nếu bạn chứng minh được bạn là người việt nam ( cha mẹ là người việt ) bạn sẽ có visa 5 năm

As far as I know, that situation is only temporary (because the corona virus is still not fully controlled). Let's wait until the end of 2023. Of course, in the meantime, hopefully you'll prepare other backup plans. Vietnam is very friendly, the standard of living is cheap, hope you won't miss it.

Money talks in very country and culture

South Vietnam was created by North Vietnamese and now they still lead and manage the South so well ❤️🇻🇳

Made me miss Haiphong city and Haiphong cuisine, best cuisine of Vietnam. Have a great time 🌸❤️

It’s really not

Not much is improving here. Moved here 7years ago and it's basically the same with a couple of extra skyscrapers here and there.

@@nr655321 most of vietnam development is happening in rural area rather than city

The 3 month visa are not coming because a lot of people from India, Africa and Muslims are coming in mass to work illegally. Maybe only for us citizens.during COVID they showed they are doing well without tourism. Also people from Europe with and north America with tattoo, disgusting piercing, LGTB, fat feministas with ridiculous hair style are not well seen.

No news about longer visas yet.

💪

That a really Good idea

Just need some Advertising on Facebook, insta, and tiktok will be perfect. Now young vietnamese join in tiktok a lot

@@peggypearl7993 and older people like me .. I love Tiktok 😂 watching, not making 😁

Many international schools in Vietnam need music teachers.

Thank you!

I appreciate you recognizing that. :)

Thanks!

You're welcome! I think you'll enjoy it as a change from Korea.

@@ninja.teacher yes, I am currently on 38 teaching hours a week at the moment. The money is great but I think it’s time to try somewhere new before Seoul burns me out. I have visited Vietnam three times before but you no thoughts to stay, your videos are really helping me think about the move!

Sai Gon is very amazing

I agree, that’s a better way to phrase it.

reminds me of an advise I received from my friend when I was living in Canada. He said "don't say it's cheap. But rather say it's inexpensive" 👍👍

Go to study in Vietnam. Maybe it is cheaper than in your country. Also you must have 3 years of experience. in some countries that schools just say you were working 3 years but then you have to legalize it at the ministry of foreign affairs of the place you have worked. In my country is not easy to do that the supervisor of my school will check if I really worked.

Bienvenue au Vietnam. Tu peux enseigner l'anglais et le français au Vietnam en même temps. Le Vietnam est un pays magnifique et une destination idéale pour les expatriés. Il y a des similitudes entre 🇻🇳 et 🇫🇷 à cause de la période coloniale.

@@thanhbuixuan6580 Merveilleux! Et que faut-il comme diplôme ou certification pour enseigner le français et anglais? Merci!

I don't have a degree but I'm a native Vietnamese and can speak both languages. Hopefully there's some way around it

Ukraina war doesn't affect Phở, bún chả, bánh mì, beer and other food prices in Vietnam.

@@vantrinhnguyen987 That's true. I didn't mean the food specifically but rather cost of living in general, especially housing prices.

Hi :) I’d love to help you with your question The central of Vietnam faces a huge problem of Annual floods. Idk why that’s the case, something with the geographic of course. I think I should learn more about the underlying cause later. The North and the South almost never face this challenge. Whenever there’s flood in the centre, there will be long days of rain in the other 2 parts. At least that’s my experience living in the South. However, we have the ‘metaphorical’ flood in the South 😅 to explain, the water drainage system isn’t advanced, plus people throw out trash on the streets, so there’s usually water all over the city and thus, traffic problems. Just note that it’s not like that every day and it depends on the roads and the area in which you live. District 2 of Ho chi minh city is a popular area for expats but it’s also notorious for the flood 😂

@@thuylinhnguyenly4945 Haha good old Thao Dhien the white man's part of town. They went and built an entire expat district with shiny malls and beautiful 5 star apartment blocks on a swamp!

Just basic level of Vietnamese as I've focused a lot on building up Ninja Teacher and haven't put as much time into learning as I would have liked to. I plan to put more time into studying though.

Vietnamese is EXTREMELY difficult to pronounce ,,, I speak a few hundred words only ,, Thai language is much easier . A massive challenge but can be done. The pronunciation is extremely difficult if you come from an English speaking background

Goverment is thinking and having plan about that. I wish this thing happend soon

Partly true. You must know that English centers in Vietnam are like business. They use white teachers as a marketing tool: charging higher fees, we're serious that we have only native English speakers. If you speak English without an accent you still have chance to get a job as English teacher in Vietnam. You have to make video presentation or to come to face to face appointment to prove your unaccented pronunciation. I know a Filipino professor teaching Economics at a most privileged university in Hanoi. And another Filipino English teacher in Vietnam she makes $23 dollars per hour. She has video in KZfaq.

Just do it! Worry about details as you go... life is more amazing with faith 🙂

You will need your original degree and TEFL certificates for work permit processing so bear that in mind. You can consider taking another TEFL course, otherwise, just make a resume highlighting your experience and start applying for jobs.

Man go some place else man. Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau or Singapore are all much better options. Better infrastructure, almost no petty theft and the westerners you meet are well normal. If you wanna chill and party in Vietnam go there on vacation. Also get certified to teach at public schools in the US before you come it should be easy to do.

@@DavidJohnson-dp4vv Yea but all those places are crazy expensive, even more so than the US, UK, Canada and you won't be living well eating good Western and local food at cheap prices in a 'teacher' salary. China and Taiwan aren;t that bad but the others are too expensive

@@janchxxheonczsekk6412 With Korea you usually get your flight, apartment and visa expenses covered. HK, Macau and Singapore are expensive but honestly it's worth it to not have deal with the bs in Vietnam. It'll also be much easier for the guy that asked to find work because they put more restrictions on getting in. Like a strict requirement on having a degree and being a native speaker (except China). Japan is a bit of a mix in the sense that for some jobs they do allow people to teach who have had most of their education done in English. It also appears that guy who asked may not be white and trust me on this he will have a much easier time in the places I listed finding a good job as a non white native speaker. It really that much easier for a non white native speaker to find a good job in the places I listed. They'll have way more choices than they would in Vietnam. In Vietnam the most likely choices are ILA, EMG, VUS, APOLLO, APAX and a few other fake corporate companies that push fake professionalism. If those are the best choices then that's a problem. The number one thing is that how true and realistic are people being about Vietnam online. The big error I made was saying he should get certified in the US since he's Canadian.

There are so many! Depends what you’re looking for.

@Hùng Online VTB Thanks so much for this and I can’t wait to see Vietnam. :)

I personally prefer living in the South.

E-visas are the only option other than working, marriage, family or investment visas. You can exit and re-enter immediately though.

Yeah I did 3 E-visas within a few months, and I heard of other people doing them back to back to back consecutively, just going into Cambodia and coming back into VN on the same day or next day.

@@ninja.teacher thank you very much for answering, it is much appreciated!! :D

@@Paul-yk7ds it sounds like a good plan for me as well, then! Thank you! Have a beautiful day! :)

You might enjoy the process of teaching others a language as someone who has learned so many. 👍

Vietnam is next to China so there are lots of job positions that require candidates to know Chinese, so if you want to teach Mandarin, there will always be opportunities here.

Russian and Chinese

30 countries here, agree!

A degree is requirement to get a work permit and work legally in Vietnam.

You might get Tesol to teach English and the schools will recommend you what you should get easily as long as you are English native speakers. I’m a Vietnamese living in the US ☺️

That depends on your circumstances. If you are just a couple and bringing in two ESL teacher incomes then you can live really well. If you have a child or children and want to send them to international schools, they are insanely expensively. I don't think it's realistic then unless you become a licensed teacher and work at international schools yourself (which usually lowers your children's fees significantly).

Well. You can display the US/UK flags if you want to unlike in china which they don't allow
