SETTLING-IN VIETNAM

settle in vietnam

Well settling in Vietnam is the key to success!

Moving to Vietnam requires a bit of curiosity. It’s not as simple as going to a supermarket and doing your shopping — that would be far too easy. And it’s not just about food: it’s also about clothes, shoes, furniture, healthcare, and much more.

 

Living well in Saigon means knowing all the right places and having the insider tips to find what you need: quality meat, cheese, that must-try bakery, fresh croissants in the morning, the perfect piano teacher for your children, your church, or even your future circle of friends.

It also involves quite a few administrative steps: opening a bank account, subscribing to insurance and utilities, getting a medical check-up — all in a country that is new to you. Since July 1, 2025, Vietnam has even added digital registration for all residence card holders to this long list.

To help you avoid the stress of these procedures and endless searches, we offer a complete settling-in service. When you move to Vietnam, we’ll show you all the shops you need to know, along with our favorite cafés and restaurants. We’ll handle the entire administrative process and assist you with signing up for language classes, sports activities, or anything else that interests you. We’ll also introduce you to your religious community and to associations you might find meaningful. These associations are a great way to integrate quickly. For example, Saigon Accueil is the French community association in Ho Chi Minh City, while International Ladies in Vietnam provides women with support and lasting friendships.

After 18 years of living in Vietnam, what we enjoy most at Relocation Vietnam is sharing our experience with you — so that your move becomes not just smooth, but a truly positive experience.
