Sorry, those jobs can be filled by Vietnamese people so you virtually have zero chance of getting hired. And the "virtually" part of that assumes you are completely fluent in Vietnamese. The government is very protective about jobs in VN going to VN people when there are qualified applicants. They generally allow outsiders only when they can't be filled by local ranks, i.e. native speaking English teachers.

It's a beautiful country, very lovely people, low cost of living, low crime rate, growing infrastructure and economy, lots of opportunities or potential I guess.
Cons are offcourse the heat which isn't unbearable , mosquitoes 😂 and air pollution levels in densely populated cities like HCMC and Hanoi.
We have family there too... not in Saigon but, not too far to travel.
