Det är svårt att hitta elektronik runt om i världen som är mycket billigare än i sverige. Visst låter det konstigt. men vi har sådan konkurens i sverige att få andra länder kan konkurera med våra priser. förutom dom producerande länderna. Tex sydkorea och några andra länder.

Jag hittade ingenting som va billigare än i sverige. åtminstonde inget som va så pass mycket billigare att det va värt att köpa hem.
DÅ va det trevligare i Sydkorea, där va det billigt :-)

Nu har jag inte vart i Sverige pa ett ar sa mycket kan ha hant, men jag ar anda tveksam till ditt uttalande.
Sverige har 45% moms!

USA har 12-20% "moms", Thailand har lag "moms" och Vietnam likasa (Forutom pa bilar och motorcycklar)

Thailand ar sjukt mycket billigare an Sverige, Vietnam ar inte lika billigt men billigare an Sverige.

Thailand är inte "sjukt mycket" billigare än sverige när det gäller märkesvaror, ca 20% skiljer det ungefär. Dessutom så är momsen i sverige 25% och inte 45%.

Det jag menade med att jag inte hittade nått billigt att ta hem gällde elektronik.
Annars fanns det jätte mycket billiga saker.

Sorry för missförståndet

Inga problem, missuppfattade din fraga och hade tokfel pa momsen.
Men jag kan trosta mig med att kallt i Vietnam ar 29 grader

Ryktena säger att växlingskursen från US dollar till Dong kan variera väldigt kraftigt beroende på var man växlar.
Finns det något generellt man ska gå efter, typ som här runtomkring i Europa att det är bäst kurs på banken/växlingskontor o sämst på hotellen?

Eller finns det stora skillnader på tex vilket bankkontor man går till?
Tacksam för snabbt svar. (Drar mot Saigon från kalla Estockholm på tisdag)

Jepp det ar stora skillnader, samst kurs pa banker och vaxlingskontor bast i guldaffarer.

Just nu ligger dongen i 17500-17900 per dollar pa banker och vaxlingskontor, medans pa "Svarta borsen" guldaffarer ligger den pa 19000-19500 per dollar.

Sa det ar en ganska stor skillnad.

Kan rekommendera guldaffarer runt Ben Than Market, men ta inte den forsta ga runt och fraga i ett par sa du far en ide pa vad svartabors kursen ligger i.

Du far ocksa mer om du har fina nya sedlar.

Om jag planerar vandra igenom Vietnam, och behöver Visum för en längre tid
(ca 6 mån). Måste man ha retur biljett att uppvisa?

Hörde av en kille som bor där att han ansöker om vistelse 1 gång i månaden.

Nej du behover ingen biljett.
Men du kan behova forlanga den 1 gang i manaden, dom andrar visareglerna lite da och da for att driva ut alla gastarbetare utan arbetstillstand genom att gora det sjukt svart att skaffa ett langre visum den 1 manad.

Man forlorar namligen passet i ca. 1 vecka varje gang man fornyar det.

Har du tur slapper det pa reglerna snart, da kan du skaffa ett 6 manaders visum.
Ga till en travelagnecy nar du ska skaffa ett visa, gar du direkt till imigrationsmyndigheterna kommer de insistera pa att du anvander en sponsor som star utanfor och det kan kosta dig over 100 usd.

Gar du till en resebyra kommer du undan med ca. 25 us for en manad.

Då måste jag ha misstolkat ditt svar du gav innan.



Man måste alltså joxa en gång i månaden? De måste först lätta på reglerna innan man kan få ett 6 månads visum?

Sedan en annan grej. Ibland behöver man ringa till olika företag angående någon tjänst, blir inte det lite knepigt när ingen pratar engelska knappt?

Nej det svaret stamde da, blir ett sjukt langt svar och jag ar trott sa jag kor en copy & paste.

"The main topic of conversation amongst the expatriate community at the moment concerns the sudden withdrawal by the immigration department of the six- month business visa. This visa is what 90 per cent of the expats living here use and now only being able to get a one month visa extension will make life here quite difficult. Apart from the cost, there is the difficulty in being unable to travel, go to the bank, etc., because we won’t have our passports for one week for every month. Also we will have to register every month with the local People’s Committee. Why has it been withdrawn? Why is the expat community being treated like this? Does the Government no longer appreciate the wealth of experience, and to not mention money, that this group of people bring to Viet Nam? Are there any plans for the State to return to the six-month visa policy?

Dear Sir,


I had a visa from the Vietnamese embassy in the UK for one month. I had several of these. Then I had a one-year visa, then I could only get a six-month visa. Now we can only get one month visas that are single entry.

I have lived in Viet Nam since November 2008 and find that the B3 visa is now so restricted that it is of great concern. This rule also applies to foreigners who have been here five or 10 years.

Does the Vietnamese Government not want the British, Europeans and Americans to live, work and pay relevant taxes in Viet Nam?

Kind Regards,
Mark Tu


Dear Viet Nam News readers,

Above are letters from two readers, who wrote to the newspaper expressing their concerns about recently approved visa procedures, which have stopped the issuing of six-month visas. Regarding these issues, we have talked to the Deputy Director of the Immigration Management Department, Le Thanh Dung, to seek answers.

Dung confirmed that the regulation on visas in Viet Nam, approved since 2000, has not changed. The only difference that was made since the passing of Decree 34 pertained to the recruitment and management of foreign employees, which happened last year.

According to the decree, all foreigners, except for diplomats, staying in Viet Nam for over three months will have to get a work permit to stay in the country. Within the next three months, if they do not get a work permit, they will be sent back to their countries.

Details about Decree 34 can be found at the website of the Ministry of Justice:

http://vbqppl.moj.gov.vn/law/en/2001_to_2010/2008/200803/200803250001_en

The Decree is part of the efforts to reorganise the foreign labour market in Viet Nam in order to attract skilful workers to the country.

Regarding the concerns of tourists, Dung explained that the Government encouraged the development of tourism and wanted to attract more and more overseas tourists to Viet Nam. However, with regards to national security and social stability, this was the way the Government had acted in order to ensure expats’ equality as a Vietnamese citizen, while they are living in Viet Nam.

Dung also said that this was an effort by the Government to attach responsibility to the Vietnamese companies and offices that hire foreigners.

He said that under the regulations, issuing visas would be based on the purpose of the individual entering Viet Nam. Companies that recruit overseas labour would have to take legal and social responsibility for the safety and social rights of these workers while they are living in Viet Nam.

For individuals who are coming to the country to work, they should have long-term contracts with a legal entity in Viet Nam. They can also get a temporary residence card, for one to five years, in accordance with their work contract and passport duration.

As the conditions for each case are unique and with the agencies possibly trying to extort foreigners, Dung suggested that individuals work directly with local immigration departments in order to follow the exact procedure. In the event that an individual is pestered by a bureaucratic staff member, he/she can directly contact the Department of Immigration Management Department and Ministry of the Public Security by post at 40A Hang Bai Street, Ha Noi or contact them at [email]vnimm@hn.vnn.vn[/email] by email.

Dung confirmed that if foreigners had been living in Viet Nam with clear purposes, and had documents to prove their skills then their visas will be approved without any difficulties. An individual that had been living in the country for years legally should be able to get a visa extension.

He also added that the department would strengthen their enforcement in the near future. The issuance of one-month visas would also be reviewed. Individuals who had stayed in Viet Nam for a long time, but had failed to find reliable sources to state their reasons for why they are here, would be dismissed from the country.

Therefore, our advice to those concerned is to quickly contact the nearest immigration departments. In case they still have difficulties with the procedures, please provide us with specific information about their job, employer name and living location in Viet Nam, and we will try to help find a solution.
