Long term

Hey guys, best place to work from in Hoi An ?

I don’t know if it’s for everybody but I got some solid work done in a few highland coffee. The one on the south side of the river, west of the old town, is pretty chill in the morning, the area gets crowded in the evening though. There’s also a more crowded one a bit north of that that is closer to Madam Khahn which I just couldn’t help but eat at every single day so I often took my chances with the crowd :D

Hahahaha 🤣 thanks man!!

I heard good things about Hub HoiAn

Thank you!!!

Hi! Guys, could you advise me good places to eat and coworking in Ho Chi Minh (District 1, 3)?

Any tips for nice food/cafes/things to do on the west side of Da Nang (across the river)? Walked along the riverside last night and realised I maybe like that side of town better than the touristy beach-side, but no idea where else to explore there

It's now possible to get Vietnamese bank cards with an e-Visa. If you need more details and how to get one easily, I can share my post.

Da Nang is completely insane rn omg there is absolutely nothing decent available on Airbnb and Agoda 🤯
There's just too many people

Amazing, sure!

❗️❗️❗️YES, FOREIGNERS CAN NOW GET A VIETNAMESE BANK CARD — AND HERE'S WHY IT ACTUALLY MATTERS

Vietnam changed the law, and foreigners can now open a local bank account. Not "maybe if you're lucky" — for real. People are already walking into banks, showing their documents, and leaving with a card a few days later.

One visit to the bank is all it takes. You need your passport, a 3-month e-visa, and just 50,000 VND to get the card issued. Vietcombank and BIDV are currently the most foreigner-friendly — no drama, no runaround.

Amazing, you didn't mention the biggest benefit - that foreigners can pay via QR code in Vietnam, right?

Hey guys staying in Hoi An for a bit anyone here who wants to connect and have a coffee sometime?

a tourist visa is enough to open a bank account ?

You could already do that as a foreigner using the Moreta Pay app, works great you deposit money and you can pay everywhere that accepts QR code

Who’s been to Thailand and Vietnam for a significant period of time and can compare the two in terms of A. hospitality/friendliness and B. ease of communication in English (scale from 1-10)?

It doesn’t work with Revolut, maybe with Wise. It seems to be mainly designed for Americans. You have to transfer USD first and then convert it to VND using their exchange rate, which of course isn’t great.

A. It Depends from area Thailand. And my opinion Thai peoples more friendly outside, but meaner inside. Vietnamese opposite. B. 7 for Thai. 5 for Vietnam

A. Vietnam is 10x better
B. Thai little more English but in Vietnam people take time to understand and nowadays with translate I don’t face any issueses

Hello, I’m looking for a modern apartment with a sea side view in Da Nang, is the budget 20-30 million good for it? 1-2br anything I should keep in mind? Got some offers from Facebook but it seems different people try to rent the same apartment and I’m worry if this is not a scam or something 😅

Maybe consider a hotel, many offer insane deals: if you are into fitness, IMO the best affordable, modern hotels in Da Nang with a good gym & large pool for swimming are the ones below.

7-night stay with breakfast:

Wink Hotel Danang Centre (Opened 11/2022) – $210

Hilton Garden Inn Da Nang (Opened 5/2023) – $530

Novotel Danang Premier Han River (Renovated 2022) – $670

Crowne Plaza Danang City Centre (Opened 2025) – $740

Ok cool, thanks!

Guys, the rental situation in Da Nang is pretty confusing right now – “foreigner prices”, random extra fees, agents pushing weird deals.

I ended up collecting some notes for myself about what’s a normal price by area, typical tricks, and what to double‑check before signing. Figured it might help someone else too, so I put it here:
https://letfind.me/en/prices/danang-realty/

On that page:

• rough price ranges by district and type of place

• common tricks (electricity, deposits, “service fees”, etc.)

• a live feed of current Da Nang listings in one place, so you don’t have to dig through a dozen groups

If you notice anything off or have more examples from your building/area, drop a comment there or here – I’ll keep updating it.

Hey folks! Has anyone here done a border run at Moc Bai recently, especially for same-day return?

I'm trying to decide if it's safe and easy to do it entirely on my own, or if I should do it through an agency (considering the risk of applying for visa while still in Vietnam).

Any recent personal experiences? Thanks!

Hi, has anyone bought m5 max/pro MacBook in Vietnam? Can’t find it anywhere in hcmc

So after some research it seems to boil down to same-day visa processing. So have to rely on an agency.

I spoke to a couple of agencies that do this and their prices vary from $80-$160.

Is that the expected rate? Any recommendations?

Hiyaaaaa! Based in Saigon but will be hosting a pop-up village in Da Nang for the month of April. Welcome any co-working, cafe, and restaurant reccs!

Hey guys, i'm coming to hanoi for a short trip to allow for my DTV, any recommendations where to stay? Ideally i just need somewhere easy where I can buckle down and get work done and easily get decent food and coffee.

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

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 ?

scams

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

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

Mostly scam

Warm, sometimes rain, nice weather

thank you!

how to find accomadation then ?

Simple Airbnb bro

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.

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

Im afraid that’s supply and demand

nah I mainly checked the west side

Hi

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

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

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?

Hub hoi an is a great coworking Space.

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.

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!

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.

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. ✨
