Notary in Ho Chi Minh City by johnharryjohn
I am looking for a notary in Ho Chi Minh City who can speak english.

I had a document I needed for the US and decided to be safe I went to the US Embassy and paid the $50 fee. By having documents notarized by the Embassy it is much less likely they will be questioned as valid here in the US. Hope this helps you. Read More


Social Security and my Vietnam address by lostvietdreamer
Hello, I could use some help. I just had my Social Security income stopped because they said I can not collect it if my address is in Vietnam. My Social Security is direct deposited into my US bank account. It is not sent to Vietnam. The reason I ...

Hello all. I recently asked a question about getting a resident card since I have a small son living in Saigon. The advice was excellent and very appreciated. I want to know if anyone has information about storing valuables in a safe place? I ...

Annata, Again great advice. I did not know about companies that specialize in storage. I always thought it would be a great service that no one was offering. I will check this out in more detail when I return at the end of this month. Thanks ... Read More

Thanks Annata for the great advice. I don't really want to live in the gated service apartments if possible but it is an option. Would you trust Vietin bank with gold coins? The pawn shop idea is novel but again can they be trusted knowing they ... Read More

Jaitch, nothing is easy, nothing is clear. I simply wish to be with my son daily watching him grow and providing for him. I do believe he being only 4, too young to separate from his mother i.e take him to the US. After he was born I took him to ... Read More
