i feel the government is trying to slow down the influx of foreign spouse. The idea given is `only marry foreign spouse if you can afford.'

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

But the inflation rate in vietnam is pretty high and the Dong does seem to depreciate over time. Instead of selling your flat in Singapore, you should rent it out and remit the rental income to wet nam. Then that's monthly income for life plus you still have an asset in Singapore. If things for some reason turn out bad in vietnam, you will always have a roof over your head in Merlion city. ;)

Everywhere the same la, open arms welcome super rich people. Normal people like us can only stand by the side. I have learnt to accept this.

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

Due to their culture, common values and upbringing, most of them share the same kind of thinking. Thus, most bros here experience the same thing with their vietnamese spouse. So we gather together, share experience and knowledge on how to tackle these common vietnamese spouse problems :D

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

My experiences in HCMC and with their properties tells me that it will be a better bet to earn some big bucks thru properties in Singapore first, then retire in Malaysia. Properties in big cities in Vietnam are also rising like no one's business, borrowing rates are super high thus most still use full cash to transact. Borrowing in Malaysia is easier, houses are cheap and cost of living may be even cheaper than HCMC itself. Cost of living have raise drastically for the past 2 years in HCMC. I still remember that having a meal in Pho 24 is a cheap affair. Most recently when i had a meal in Pho 24, a similiar meal a few years ago would have cost me only 200k VND, the most recent one costs me 550k VND. Yes , VND has depreciated but not to such an extend. What most malaysians are doing, earn in Singapore, spend in Malaysia, good move. The only bad thing is, houses in Malaysia is cheap, but it doesn't appreciate much. For example, i bought a house in Iskandar Malaysia 2 years back, its cheap for that sort of land size and facilities, only 7 mins from Tuas Checkpoint. But for the past 2 years, the value hasn't risen as much as singapore. The only good point is to go in for the long weekend, buy some food from the market nearby (food is seriously much fresher and cheaper than Singapore and some are even cheaper than HCMC ) and have some good family time. :D
