กำลังสร้างบทเรียน...
1
Every week I read a new article or watch a new video of Vietnam being the best place to retire in 2026.
2
Great weather, cheap food, buzzing cities.
3
That's all well and good, but the part everyone's leaving out and people are missing, you can't retire there.
4
Of all the countries in Southeast Asia, Vietnam has no retirement visa and the visa system is built in a way
5
that almost suggests that the government don't want millions of foreigners moving there on a whim.
6
The first issue with the retiring Vietnam narrative is
7
that you're going to do 90 day border runs for the rest of your life.
8
Either that or you're going to teach English as a foreign language.
9
I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but neither of those things constitute a normal retirement, nor are they actually guaranteed.
10
First of all, the 90 day.
11
Tourist visa. is exactly
12
that it was never designed for people to live there Vietnam opened the doors they wanted people to come
13
and visit they're very happy to have you there for a
14
short amount of time global tourism global travel has been a mess since COVID really
15
that it's taken a while for authorities to catch up it's taken a
16
while for authorities to figure out what's our next move as we've seen recently in Thailand.
17
The Vietnamese government know thousands of people are now living there on a tourist visa.
18
But just because it was tolerated in a messy period, does not mean it's going to be allowed for much longer.
19
And if you read some of the articles, - Coming from Vietnam, the government's language is getting stronger, especially since all of a sudden,
20
all the lunatics from abroad have congregated in Da Nang and are causing trouble.
21
If you're planning your retirement, in Vietnam or to live in Vietnam by doing 90 day border runs I would say that's a massive gamble
22
I'm almost certain won't work in the future.
23
And what's funny, what I find really funny about it is the cope behind it.
24
So people like to say, oh, it's a small price to pay to be able to live in Vietnam.
25
And that's fine.
26
In theory, it is.
27
And they also say, oh, I like to travel to other countries every 90 days.
28
It suits me to to go traveling for a few days
29
No one says that one day you might not get back in.
30
For me, that's not a retirement plan.
31
That's not a strategy for living abroad at all in Southeast Asia.
32
Now, what used to be tolerated is not the case anymore.
33
You need to get a legitimate visa to live here.
34
And the alternatives, they're there, but they're not great.
35
So teaching English, you can do that if you want to, but teaching English, is not retirement.
36
It was actually the most stressful job I ever had in my life.
37
And I wouldn't, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
38
You can definitely set up a business but It has to be legitimate now the gray areas the shelf company stuff
39
all the stuff that we knew went on in Asia, that's just not an option anymore.
40
It has to be above board.
41
They're scrutinizing the businesses, actually every country is scrutinizing.
42
We can see that Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam's no different.
43
They're all doing it.
44
This is the trend now if you want to do the business visa route.
45
You need real commitment And then lastly, what I find funny is people float the idea of marriage to a local as a legitimate strategy.
46
I'm sorry, but that's a legitimate way to ruin your life.
47
That is not a visa pathway.
48
And even though people do it, that strategy has a predictable ending.
49
The truth about Vietnam, I admire the optimism.
50
I admire the mentality it takes to pack your bags and go to somewhere new, especially somewhere challenging like Vietnam.
51
But the truth is that people are a bit overly optimistic about is There's no clean pathway to live there.
52
You can't just retire there.
53
It's set up in a way where it...
54
Of all the countries in Asia, It's like the government don't want you there.
55
Thailand has the good retirement visa, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, Malaysia has the MM2H, Philippines has the SROV.
56
They all have pathways for you to retire, except the number one destination for retirement.
57
And then look, there's the stuff that no one actually wants to say out loud, but it does mean a lot to me.
58
I want to go to a place where my reputation is good.
59
Right now, Vietnam, The foreigner fatigue is real and it happened even quicker than Thailand locals are concerned
60
and they should be you can't just go to Vietnam as a foreigner and make a mess they're the most nationalist
61
country of all of Asia they don't like outside interference.
62
No country wants outside interference.
63
But how did we think Vietnam is just going to accept bad behavior from tourists.
64
They want visitors, they don't want settlers, and they especially don't want people
65
disrespecting them and rightfully so I agree with them
66
but that's why for me not only the visa but right now Vietnam does not suit me.
67
It's a very predictable cycle when I said
68
I believe Thailand is about to change "the visa exemption and Thailand's going to get stricter." Someone's like,
69
"Oh, you're spreading misinformation." It was obvious as day they're going to change.
70
I would say it's obvious as day Vietnam are going to clamp down even faster, way faster than Thailand.
71
If your plan is to live there long term on a tourist visa, I would be thinking about some plan B or C.
72
I'm not saying don't go to Vietnam.
73
Vietnam, you must go to it.
74
It's a fascinating country.
75
You'll see things there you've never seen before.
76
But definitely please don't base your whole retirement plan or your your digital nomad strategy on tourist visas in Asia.
77
I'm using Vietnam as the example, but it's for all of them.
78
The tourist visa days are gone.
79
You can't live there anymore indefinitely on tourist visas.
80
We'll look back at that period as, "Wow, what a funny time." And it's humorous, but It's just not acceptable anymore.
81
So the narrative is nice.
82
Everyone packed their bags and moved to Da Nang and it sounds great on paper, but you need to be legitimate.
83
You need to have a legal base in Southeast Asia.
84
That's the message of this video.
85
Cambodia gives you one of the last legal bases.
86
I believe Laos as well.
87
Laos is way more informal and a gray area that could change on a whim.
88
But right now, Cambodia, once you get that business visa, That's really one of the only legitimate,
89
legal, most accessible ones that's accessible for most people.
90
If you have a specific reason to be in Vietnam, if you're doing business in Vietnam, if your spouse is Vietnamese and you're learning Vietnamese, then that will work for you.
91
But if you just saw a YouTube video saying, let's all move to Da Nang on tourist visas, I think you could be in trouble.
