Vietnam Relocation Quick-Start Pack- 3 Tools

Stop Guessing. Start Living.

Your 2026 Guide to Moving to Vietnam Without the Expensive Mistakes, 3 important areas, 13 pages.

This is exactly what I wish someone had handed me before we moved from Sydney to Da Nang.

Written in Vietnam in 2026 by a Chinese national who has relocated internationally three times — from China to the UK, then to Australia, and now Vietnam. I've made most of the mistakes so you don't have to.Everything in this guide comes from real, lived experience in Vietnam.

No recycled travel advice. No theory. Just practical information I wish I'd known before making the move.

Three things this guide actually covers:

🏠 Your apartment- before you sign anything.

Vietnam's rental market can be tricky. Think bait-and-switch photos, mold hidden under fresh paint, and utility bills that quietly add hundreds to your monthly costs.

The 15-question apartment inspection framework in this guide completely changed how we viewed properties. These are the questions agents rarely volunteer answers to unless you know exactly what to ask.

💰 Your money- during the first week.

I tracked every dollar we spent during our first week in Vietnam and built a real-world budget tracker around it.

You'll see what things actually cost, where your money goes, and how much cash you'll realistically need when you first arrive.

📱 Your health & connectivity- from day one.

Vietnam's heat and humidity hit differently from anything I experienced in Australia or the Europe. By the time you feel thirsty, you're often already dehydrated. This section covers the three medications I recommend having from day one, along with the phone setup and mobile plan we found worked best for us. US$6.99 Founding Price.
