I never thought that properties in VN is expensive...hhmmm.
What i know of is a rental of a shop space at D5 is S$300/mth, rental of 2 storey house (for buiness on lvl1 and accomdation at lvl2) is S$800/mth.

Scooters should only cost S$500- S$4000 ( told by alot of viet gals). US$9000 is really off the scale already... with this amount i can get very high cc sport bike here.

Honda Dylan or SH both 150cc will cost you US$6000 and US$7200. May be your girl thinking of a SYM 120cc that will still cost you US$2000. Even a China make 100cc will cost you US$400, and don't think you want to be see on in HCMC. May be in Village ok.

bro, i don't know how u derived your figures. rental at D5 for S$300? maybe a run down little shop in a back alley. But US$300 is already too cheap for D5 already. 2 storey house at S$800 a month, that's possible, but should be a run down one again in a back alley. As for scooters, S$500 can only buy u a made in china lowest grade bike. As for made in japan bikes, they are never cheap. For example, i spent US$1000 to buy a 10 year old yamaha majesty sccoter last time. But if u want made in china, then its cheap la. S$500 to S$600 can get liao. I seriously do not know how u got your numbers. maybe u need to stay in Vn for some time to really know the market there.

Bro, if you can listen to the viet working girls, then u can also listen to the fish monger in Vietnam. the viet working gals don't listen to news nor watch news, and is not at all concerned about what is happening around them. TV is only for drama series. So please filter what u hear from them about vietnam, they are incorrect 50% of the time. :rolleyes:

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

yes , i agree with bro singviet. not all stuffs are cheap in HCM.
A pair of nike shoe cost S$20 more than singapore retails.

Bro singviet , do you know what is the tax like if i export goods to HCM if not going thru under-table tax:D

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

Bro Singviet , what is the benefit of getting a Visa compare to normal 30 days visit?
Do you have any web link where i can get info on renting a retail shop in HCM.

cheers , Cam on.:)

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

Bro, for scooters i hear people say only.. for shop rental, i dare to confirm that its S$300 for a shop in front of a busy street at D5. My bro rented it in Jan to start his business. Was S$250, but my bro install aircon which the landlorad say nosiy and disturb her, so increase the cost abit. See his decor and shop face... looks nice..

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

bro kang tao ,
your bro registered a company of his own ?
I'm thinking of renting a unit too.

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

I know scooter is not cheap in HCMC, unless u talking abt old or china made scooters....

Hehhehe wat type of business maybe we can do business together.

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

Wat business u doing there? I'm looking for a local partner there.

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

currently no business there yet.
I'm dealing with water treatment product.
did approach retailers there too but after sending samples still no deal leh:mad: so thinking of doing my own:)

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

No offense bro. But to any singaporean who has been to HCM City for just a few times, any street in the city will look busy to him. Maybe let us know the street name. Or the next possible thing i can think of is your brother renting just the front part of the house. The best deal i was given so far in HCM for the past few years was 4 million VND (S$400) on CMT8 street in Q3, near to the Nguyen thi minh khai and CMT8 junction. but that shop quite run down, although its stand alone, not attached to any house of the owner. that is already my wife (local vietnamese) dealing with the landlord. if i deal with landlord, he sure quote me 8 million at least :D

Bro, normal 30 days visa is that u need to exit the country after 30 days. Normally, if you stay for 30 days and exit for 3 days then come back again for 30 days, it will be difficult for you to stay on the next time u return. immigration can refuse entry . A business visa can ensure that u have mulitple entry into the country for the stated period of time, say 6 mths or 1 year. You can also stay on for more than 30 days without returning to singapore.

As for an agent who speaks english, u can try www.izproperty.com This company is started by an ang moh (british) who has stayed in HCM for the past 8 years. Staffs are vietnamese , but can speak english well. Please note that engaging agent there is different from singapore. We normally just pay agent 300KVND and ask them to bring us view the place. The commission will be payable by landlord. :D
