I see this country becoming very progressive compared to Malaysia's R&R.

Feel like getting a home here.

Better Thailand than Vietnam.
Vietnam smart and cunning. Later you kena con until nothing left

later you kena cheat

actually retire in malaysia is better cos malaysia people here is "lembab"

vietnam people dont racing everyday, their economy will surplus malaysia very very soon

Yes pls. When done only open thread.

It is better to be conned by a smarter person.

Here you will lose without being conned, if you get what I mean

Seem u already made up your mind open thread for what? Go ahead la.

please bring whole relatives and also revoke citizenship.

Really like that meh?

Set up retirement home only

Vietnam or thailand is same.

The chinese there more cunning than here.

Keep working so you never have to retire.

On a serious note. Houses in HCM is more expensive than Malaysia. And their english is....a lot to be desired.

So my question have you been to vietnam???

Lol..damn fucking good reply.

later step on land mine

I will semi retire while doing some knowledge transfer to the younger generation if they still think the knowledge is relevant

Consulting?

imagine all the vietmoi you can consume...

yes, vietnam country is in very 'hungry' situation...

malaysia banyak sudah makan tunggu berak saja ....

deswai u want to retire, better in malaysia cos we being living in a very very slow pace for the last 30 years

Only if you plan to retire in some ulu place in vietnam. Marry a vietbui and buy some land and build your own house.

As a foreigner, it is not easy to buy a house. At best, you can only lease a unit/land. And only with designated developments. I heard there are loopholes here and there, but have not explored that in detail. you might be able to register a company and use that to buy property.



Don't even imagine retiring in the major cities. it is expensive....very expensive. Cost of living in Saigon and Hanoi, is just as high as KL.

But as a country, they are moving full speed ahead. If you can manage some form of a business there, it is definitely a good move.


And yes, be careful who you trust. Vietnamese can be very two faced. Tell you one thing, do something completely opposite. Unless you have spent significant time there and know their way of doing things, be very careful. That said, i know plenty of malaysians who have moved there, permanently, and they enjoy their life there. Usually the maaysians work as factory managers, consultants and sales people for Vietnamese JV companies due to our vast language capability.

Vietnamese are quite good but they are sort of in transition between the old system to the new system

Uncle old dy lah

How if I want to semi retire?

How much property? Maybe i need to expand overseas.

Nice.
It's great you find a niche.
Indochina is behind us in terms of expertise human resource but catching up fast.
Those who are willing to go, are making more money doing the same job they do here.

Their road really turn me off

In Malaysia at least still ada gaya drive merc.
Sana kaya or miskin drive moto
Unless u ready to press hon every 3 seconds

Chiang Mai is a good place

Vietnam - if you wife is nguoi Viet.

The houses are equivalent to KL PJ prices but the people are still buying

I cannot count how many time I have been there but it is not less than 20 times and been there since the early 2000s

It is best to register a wife there if need to set up a company or purchase a property.

I met many Malaysians there and half of them are orang kite

looks like you are already on the right track. Good luck.

Malaysian's being Malaysians, irregardless of where they stay, you can expect good Malaysian hospitality. So take advise from them that have stayed there for a long time.

Then you should know the issues of the housing price which ppl think it's cheap but its not. Also the language.

So if you feel these two are not a hindrance (it is to me) then by all means go...

LOL. When was the last time you went there???


When you can afford to buy a Mercedes there, you can afford a driver.


I just hire a driver and car to drive me around most of the time. Only cost about 700k to 1m per day. Cheaper than taxi if you need to travel longer distance.

I think i already been the whole area in vietnam, including the rural place.
Their jalan expecially in rural place, even drive moto u will not feel comfortable.
In city, the whole place is full with motorist, only small space for car.

Its not about hiring the driver, its about personal drive.
I love car, own few sport car, i love to modify..

And vietnam is not the best place for that kind of hobby

Of course.

And neighter is Malaysia....for that matter if cars are your hobby, especially compared to what I used to do in North America.

Vietnamese really take car of their motorcycle. I can see many Honda Cub C70

In Saigon , land and housing is more expensive.. food more expensive.. cars same price.. alcohol cheaper.. nightlife like clubs and bars, same price.. medical expenses is cheaper.. cinema tickets are more expensive...

Feel free to add..

klang >>> vietnam

thailand better

Vietnam is commie govt. At least Thailand or Cambodia better for foreigner.

Retirement in a foreign country is never going to cheap. Malaysia has the best options for this.

But why Vietnam? For the puseh?

Hmm, a unit at Saigon Royal Residences is minimum rm700k for a 550sqft unit.. the smallest.. so it really depends...

Piap piap vietmoi

Why do you need to buy in the central part of Saigon?

I stayed for almost 5 years at an apartment in D1 which is nearby there. It’s not nice at all for someone with a family. D7 or D2 are the best for expats in my opinion. Staying in D1 or very close to it is mostly good if you’re by yourself otherwise it’s like living in the heart of KL. Why would anyone want that?

Around that area where Saigon royal residences is you can find a 1k sqf apartment like Icon 56 which is pretty decent and costs about a mil.

Ahh bullshit u just made it up the story lol 😂
There almost no different with u.s
Bunch of drag race,
Sepang track race
Hundred of sport cars club and gath
Tons of garage
Bunch of top tuners
Completely spare parts

Nola ... If you're interested to invest my friend selling land in a neighbouring town.. one hour drive from Saigon.. 1075sqft.. VND 1 billion asking price..

retiring in Malaysia is better, especially for someone who is older. Malaysia hardly move/change besides new constructions only. We are still behaving like it is the 1980s.

consistency is comforting, especially for retirees

Can a foreigner buy land?
