jeniapus 2mo

adamant 2mo

Hi guys! Can someone please tell me how's the weather usually in Danang in June?

korayaslan 2mo

I see different agents renting the same place in da nang, is it possible or scam ? landlords basically allow different agents to sell the same place ?

de_gouville 2mo

scams

njo 2mo

👋 Headed to Da Nang tomorrow for a few weeks. Anyone know of any meetups, coworking groups, or just general get togethers?

luru93 2mo

last year it was usually sunny every day, 30-33 degrees. expect 3 days of monsoon :)

saniasalsabila 2mo

Mostly scam

ruslanche 2mo

Warm, sometimes rain, nice weather

adamant 2mo

thank you!

korayaslan 2mo

how to find accomadation then ?

korayaslan 2mo

I was following the listings in this telegram group called "Da Nang rent apartments - Дананг аренда жилья - NO commission"
anyone found an apartment from this group ?

saniasalsabila 2mo

Simple Airbnb bro

danamo 2mo

Start with Airbnb and then look around when walking outside. You might find better deals. I have not investigated those offers though. I was there for too short a time for it to be worth it.

korayaslan 2mo

airbnb is rigged, there is no decent option for normal price range

korayaslan 2mo

the prices are semm to be tripled in just few months

danamo 2mo

Im afraid that’s supply and demand

danamo 2mo

Have you checked the west side or are you pinned to the beaches on the east ?

korayaslan 2mo

nah I mainly checked the west side

ruslanche 2mo

Hi

mathildelaos 1mo

Hi everybody ! going to stay in Hoi An for a little while. Any reco on places to work or anything "must known" for this place ? Would be happy to meet some people as well ! Mathilde

minonomad 1mo

Just spent one whole month there ask me anything you wanna know specifically

divyaansh 1mo

Hey folks - quick question:
At immigration, what do you usually state your purpose of visit is after a short visa run?

I'm guessing the officers already know the digital nomad pattern. Just saying "tourism" seems to be a bit dishonest, doesn't it? Or is that just the norm and usually no further questions are asked?

tonyd 1mo

Hub hoi an is a great coworking Space.

markus 1mo

I don’t remember ever getting asked at Ho Chi Minh airport and if I was no further questions asked. If you say digital nomad that could cause trouble - at least in Thailand it does.

dkarabey 1mo

You should say tourism, I wouldn’t bet on digital nomad or anything work related unless you have a visa that allows you to work here. And being a digital nomad without a relevant visa is actually a legally gray line, if not illegal. There are people here who know this better than I probably, but I just wanted to reach out because I’ve heard of people getting denied entry to some countries over this, and some people getting fined. Hope this helps!

divyaansh 1mo

Thanks Markus & Dilara!

I guess I will just say "tourism" and if they ask why the last 3 months weren't enough and why I needed 3 more, I'll just say that their country is so vast and beautiful that I haven't been able to cover it yet hahaha 😅

But yeah, mostly they won't ask anything at all. Just preparing for the worst as too many wars happening around so you never know how protocols might change.

For example, I decided to skip the Moc Bai land port visa run as a visa agent said they're denying entry to Indians at land ports. Although that's when entering Cambodia not Vietnam.

dkarabey 1mo

I’d book an onward ticket with a service like onwardify to ensure them that you intend to go back if you’re doing a visa run. Also, be careful about tax regulations, you might accidentally become a tax resident in some countries if you stay that long.

Good luck! Viet Nam really is amazing. I don’t think your excuse will surprise them. ✨

markus 1mo

As an Indian I’d be more careful. They might ask more questions

pranjal 1mo

no need to worry, just say tourism, they are happy to have you in their country, after all you adding something to their economy and they need money

pranjal 1mo

i would say they won't even ask you 😂

naanman 1mo

Anyone in Da Nang?

divyaansh 1mo

Haha yeah - it ended up being the most seamless run ever. I usually don't worry about all this (have done this a few times previously), but hearing about the Cambodia land border issues made me question my optimism haha! While that was due to the Cambodia-Thailand conflict, I thought the Iran war could also have some effects. But gladly it didn't.

Thanks all for your support!

divyaansh 1mo

Also, I'm not affiliated with this in any way, just had a great experience with this Visa agency - both in terms of communication clarity/responsiveness as well as prices ($60 for same day visa). Far better than the 5 other agencies that show up on Google/AI search that were slow, disinterested and charged $120-160 for same day processing.

The AI won't let me post the link/number here, so let me know if you're interested and I'll share the details :) (again, just trying to give my two cents back to the community, not promoting anything personally 😅)

mikecruz 1mo

How are things in danang? Is it getting crazy packed with tourists?

gigabee 1mo

Nice. My friend is going to travel to Da Nang with her partner and 1 year old daughter. Does anyone know if there are there many families around to connect with?

knillz 1mo

It feels to me like there are a lot of tourists. But I just got here yesterday so I don't have any reference to compare it to. I guess it also means that I'm part of the problem. 😅

james99 30d

Yep a lot of tourists in the popular areas. Quite easy to find quieter spots tho

sebastian_g 28d

if you leave the area in the screenshot its already different. but yes, overall busier. still super affordable for daily stuff tho.

shsunmoon 28d

Hi, I’m 34 yr old Korean founder of transcribe.so looking for 1-3months accommodation in Da Nang. Any suggestion would be appreciated 🙏 Excuse me if this is the wrong place

bastiantro 27d

Hey, also looking for Condos in Da Nang. Is an Agent a good solution? Or should i look online?

zackyoung 27d

For the #DaNang meetup its still going ahead but I have had to go the dentist to fix my tooth, so I unfortunately will not be there 🙏

Pedro, the owner of Seedeats is very nice — hopefully there is enough space inside for everyone 🙏

edwinmrs 13d

dmd

pccflp 13d

yo is it me or airbnbs in da nang are all studios? is there a way to find a 1br apt with a living room?

edwinmrs 13d

depends on your budget and where you are looking for? But you should be finding 1BRs

pccflp 13d

anywhere and $500-$600

edwinmrs 13d

at this price point its motly gonna be studios on airbnb. You'll have more chances on facebook groups

edwinmrs 13d

when do you want to book and how long ?

pccflp 13d

I was thinking july-aug or july-sep

edwinmrs 13d

pretty okay budget but that'll definitely be on fb groups

edwinmrs 13d

i'll send you some by dm

jithin 12d

Hey anybody in DaNang? Iam planning to move to DaNang from Hochiminh, have some questions.

knillz 12d

I think there are many people in Da Nang right. I was just there myself. What questions do you have?

ramon33 6d

hey guys, atm I stay in TH for a while thanks to my dtv visa. how you all do this in vietnam? As far as I know, you need to leave all 3 months or how you do it in practise?

studiogaudet 6d

Is Vietnam the better move than Thailand now? Or is it just cheaper

apalevich 6d

Just cheaper imho

studiogaudet 6d

That’s what it seems like for me too. A bunch of people poverty maxing hardcore, flexing the 8 dollar hotel.

apalevich 6d

I believe it could get better, though. Vietnam could become the new Thailand in 15 years if they play it right

minonomad 6d

I disagree very much!

minonomad 6d

I think it’s better because people are less fake nice. I think it’s better because value for money is much better for almost anything.

minonomad 6d

I also think Thailand is a place absolutely overrun by tourists. To me it seemed all is build to cater tourists. In Vietnam you can find this a lot too but it has still much more authenticity which I liked a lot.

(I’m comparing it overall in my experience. I personally LOVED Chiang Mai in Thailand, but very much disliked the experience on the islands)

zszs157 2d

Hi all! Has anyone established tax residency in Vietnam? Did you talk to a US tax expert and/or a Vietnamese firm about it? If so, can you provide contact information? I have a tax accountant in Chicago, but they don't specialize in expatriate taxation and cross-border income issues. Thanks in advance.
