Resources for Expats

Where you live while on assignment in Vietnam may well be the single most important factor in determining whether your stay is an enjoyable experience or an ordeal.

Many considerations enter into this decision.  For families with children, proximity or reliable transportation to schools may be paramount.  For others, it may be convenience to the work place or, if the work of the relocating family member requires frequent travel, to an airport.

The best way to find housing that meets your family’s requirements of size, location, and budget is to make a preliminary trip to Vietnam. If the employer underwrites a home search trip, the firm may also provide other relocation services such as professional orientation services to help you make the most of your visit and set up appointments for you prior to your arrival. This preliminary trip may incorporate visiting schools, medicals facilities, and neighborhoods in addition to a home search.  It is advisable to take advantage of all the assistance offered.
