How about a Vietnam sub-forum?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

After reading about the new visa requirements there won't be any need for a new forum as there won't be anyone there

Better to have a Southeast Asia subbie, I reckon.

Agreed. Vietnam can just get a thread like this one, not enough interest for a full subforum.

Don’t need too many subforums.

Yeah, I'm starting to feel the same way. The 30 days and out rule will smack just about every expat in Vung Tau, for example. It will become a ghost town, no exaggeration. A lot of the visa dodges have been shut down, no long-term visas any more and some expats actually had their (expensive) Temporary Residency Cards confiscated upon arrival last year. Nothing but bad news.

I am in Vietnam currently, for a 1-month long holiday, from Phnom Penh. It is my first time here and I am very positively impressed by the country and seriously considering the options of moving here. It is generally cheaper - electricity is 1/5th, nice apartments are $5 a night if you know how to find them, western food is half price to Cambodia, new car taxis the same prices as tuk-tuks in PP and motorbikes are cheaper too. It is more developed, more shopping options and cleaner, plus the country offers more landscape-wise (cool mountains, un-spoilt beaches). Visas for the long term, if you are not an American, seem to be a pain but I am sure are possible with some research.

A sub-forum would be great, so those considering a move could share knowledge and tips.
