What do I need to know about living in Da Nang?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Da Nang, they said:
"Before retiring in Da Nang, expats should research the cost of living and the availability of healthcare services. It is also important to familiarize oneself with the local culture and customs, as well as the language. Additionally, expats should consider the climate and the type of housing available. Finally, it is important to research the visa requirements and the process for obtaining a long-term visa," explained one expat living in Da Nang, Vietnam.
"Learn at least some basic Vietnamese so that you can interact with people. Young adults and below usually speak some English but middle age and older rarely do. Check with a resident on what you might need to bring from home that can't be found here. Most things can be bought here or on a quick trip to HCMC but there are always some things that we miss from home," said one expat in Da Nang.
