Where should I setup a bank account in Can Tho?

Answer this Question

We asked expats in Can Tho what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...

"Expats considering retirement in Can Tho, should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, they should understand that the cost of living is relatively low compared to Western countries, making it an attractive option for those on a fixed income. However, healthcare facilities may not be up to the standards they are accustomed to, and they may need to travel to larger cities for certain treatments or procedures. They should also be prepared for the tropical climate, which is hot and humid year-round, with a rainy season from May to November. The official language is Vietnamese, and while English is increasingly common, especially among younger people, it is not universally spoken, so learning some basic Vietnamese phrases can be beneficial. Expats should also be aware that Can Tho is a bustling city with a population of over 1.2 million people, and while it has many modern amenities, it still retains a traditional Vietnamese culture. This means that while there are plenty of opportunities for shopping, dining, and entertainment, they may also encounter cultural differences that require adjustment. In terms of accommodation, there are a variety of options available, from modern apartments in the city center to more traditional houses in the outskirts. It's important to research and visit different areas to find a place that suits your lifestyle and budget. Finally, it's crucial to understand the visa and residency requirements for living in Vietnam. This typically involves obtaining a visa before arrival and then applying for a temporary residence card once in the country. It's recommended to consult with a legal expert or immigration service to ensure all paperwork is correctly completed," remarked another expat in Can Tho, Vietnam.
