Dear all,
I would like to ask a few questions about living in Vietnam. Mainly with regards to buying a property and getting the proper way to stay in Vietnam.
I am currently living in Vietnam from Singapore on tourist visa and I have already extended it twice and it will expire on the end of Jan. Basically as what I know I will take a bus to Cambodia and back and I will have an automatic one month visa and then I can extend it 2 times for 3 months again.
Currently I have a choice to apply for a 2 year Temporary Residence Card at quite a high price without the need to apply for any work permit by the agency which handles my visa renewals but I am not sure about how legal it is and it would be great if some of you guys could advice me on that.
I am currently working with a Vietnamese company as a freelance marketing staff and the company has also suggested that I can use the company and invest some money so that I can become a shareholder and be able to obtain a Business Licence or some sort and then I can get a permanent stay in Vietnam.
Lastly, with regards to buying of a property. I am considering of buying a house or an apartment in Vietnam under the name of my girlfriend. We are planning to get married but maybe in the next year or so and I know that when I buy a house or an apartment, she will be able to obtain the pink or red book and with it, she can register me as a member of the household and I am able to get some kind of residency in Vietnam as well? I am not very sure about that but this is just some of the information that I have heard.
Would like to hear some good precious information from you guys out there. Thanks so much for the help and I know that most of the VIP members always give good advises which have been really helpful for me during my stay here in Vietnam.
Cheers,
