My name is Jérémie Chiari. I am a French entrepreneur; I left France a few years ago and I now live in Da Nang.
In the first few months, I made the classic mistakes: the wrong visa, a housing scam, badly handled taxes. This site brings together what I wish I had known before I left.
What you will find here
Practical guides, in French and in English, on the big questions of settling in Vietnam: visas, the cost of living, housing, taxes, schooling, remote work and daily life in Da Nang.
Why Da Nang?
Da Nang combines a manageable cost of living, fast internet, the sea and an active international community. It is the city where I live day to day.
How the guides are written
The articles draw on first-hand experience and on official sources. The rules, especially for visas and taxes, change regularly: always check with the relevant authorities before taking any step, and have tax questions reviewed by a professional.
