A guide for foreigners living in Vietnam

About VietnamSpot

Who we are

VietnamSpot is a project for foreigners who live in Vietnam, are moving here, or are just weighing it up. We gathered in one place the things you normally have to dig out of a dozen chat groups, Google Docs marked “up to date as of 2019”, and tips from a taxi driver at Cam Ranh airport.

We run a blog with detailed articles on every region, a practical guide to the key topics — from visas to renting a motorbike — and a catalog of trusted services we recommend not for money, but because we use them ourselves. And our team is a message away when you need a hand on the ground.
