Hi all,
Thinking about working in VIetnam (at some point in time) as a nomad traveler, and managed to snag a prepaid Vietnamese SIM card & successfully signed up for ZaloPay and Momo (so far), just to get things started. At least for Momo, it seems to accept my US passport but ZaloPay seems to insist on a Vietnamese ID or passport (which I do not have).
Now comes the fun part - how do I load money into these e-wallets? None of my US or even multi-currency credit/debit cards (such as Transferwise, etc) worked, and they insist on a Vietnamese debit/credit card and/or bank account.
Is there a known service (or an agent) who can help me top-up these ZaloPay/Momo wallets if I am able to transfer Vietnamese dong (VND) to them (via Wise or Revolut, etc)? I'm obviously not yet in Vietnam so can't top-up in person (from a convenience store, if that's even an option).
Thanks for any pointers you can provide!
Jim
