온라인 카지노 게임 Life in Vietnam: Everything Is Affordable, Not Much Is Available
Since last year, Vietnam has improved its rankings across all indices of our survey, placing 8th overall in the 온라인 카지노 게임 Insider 2024 survey. The main reason for the country카지노 게임 컬렉션s attractiveness as an expat destination can be summarized in one word: finances. And while expats show praise for the Ease of Settling In (13th) and Working Abroad (14th) Indices, they have to adjust to a less-than-stellar Quality of Life (40th). All things considered, expat happiness with their life abroad in Vietnam is ranked 13th worldwide.
How 온라인 카지노 게임s Rate Life in Vietnam
Mostly Free from Financial Worries
In the Personal Finance Index, Vietnam has occupied the pole position for four consecutive years. The general cost of living in the country is rated positively by 86% of expats, which is more than twice the global average (40%). Half of all respondents in Vietnam (50%) even give this factor the best possible rating 카지노 게임 컬렉션 by far the highest share among expats worldwide.
It카지노 게임 컬렉션s no surprise then that 68% of expats agree their disposable household income is more than enough to lead a comfortable life 카지노 게임 컬렉션 again, a record share compared to other countries in this year카지노 게임 컬렉션s survey (global average: 41%). And compared to 30% globally, only a relatively small share of 15% say it카지노 게임 컬렉션s not enough. This roughly corresponds to the 18% who say they are not satisfied with their financial situation (vs. 26% globally).
Work카지노 게임 컬렉션Life Balance Trumps Career Advancement
Finances and work are often intertwined, but what카지노 게임 컬렉션s notable about Vietnam is that less than half of its expat population is working full time (46% vs. 57% globally). About one in five expats (21%) works part time (vs. only 12% globally), and a similar share (18%) is retired (vs. 11%). Still, 38% of expats cite work-related reasons as their primary motivation for coming to the country, which is slightly higher than the global average of 35%.
Working expats in Vietnam are overall satisfied with their situation, granting the country a respectable 14th place in the Working Abroad Index 카지노 게임 컬렉션 an improvement of 15 ranks since 2022. One of the main drivers for Vietnam카지노 게임 컬렉션s good performance is an 8th place in the Work & Leisure Subcategory. 온라인 카지노 게임s are particularly satisfied with their work카지노 게임 컬렉션life balance: almost three in four (73%) give this a positive rating (vs. 60% globally).
Another positive is the Salary & Job Security Subcategory, showing above-average satisfaction levels with job security (15th) and the state of the economy (20th). Most notably, around three in four expats (76%) feel that they are paid fairly for their work, which is considerably higher than the global average of 58%.

Nevertheless, career prospects aren카지노 게임 컬렉션t all rosy: while the local job market (18th) and personal career opportunities (14th) are generally seen in a positive light, only about two in five expats (43%) say that moving to Vietnam has improved their career prospects (vs. 56% globally).
The Work Culture & Satisfaction Subcategory is another mixed bag: almost three in four expats (73%) report high overall job satisfaction (vs. 60% globally); at the same time, close to one-third (31%) complain about the inflexible local business culture (vs. 19% globally).
Patience Required for Getting Paperwork (!) Done
Inflexibility and bureaucracy are among the factors that are responsible for Vietnam카지노 게임 컬렉션s mediocre 29th place in the 온라인 카지노 게임 Essentials Index, which nevertheless represents an improvement of 14 ranks compared to 2023. Still, Vietnam remains in the bottom 10 countries for nearly all factors in the Digital Life Subcategory 카지노 게임 컬렉션 notably, the availability of administrative services online (52nd) and cashless payment options (51st).
In the Admin Topics Subcategory, only one in five expats (20%) says that it카지노 게임 컬렉션s easy to deal with local bureaucracy/authorities (vs. 36% globally). While opening a local bank account is more difficult than in most other countries (44th place), Vietnam has removed some hurdles in the immigration process. The share of expats who agree it was easy to get a visa is on par with the global average (54% vs. 53%), boosting the country카지노 게임 컬렉션s performance for this factor by 28 places in the ranking compared to 2023.
Housing, another expat essential, doesn카지노 게임 컬렉션t pose any challenges: both availability (4th) and affordability (2nd) receive excellent ratings. And while learning the local language is considered difficult by 87% of expats in Vietnam (vs. 40% globally), more than three in five (63%) agree that it카지노 게임 컬렉션s easy to get by without it (vs. 48%).
Friendly People Make Settling In Easier
Facing no significant language barriers certainly helps with finding friends, which is one of the subcategories in the Ease of Settling In Index (13th). At 57%, the share of expats who say that it카지노 게임 컬렉션s easy to make local friends in Vietnam is higher than the global average of 38%. However, the 51% of expats who feel they have a personal support network in Vietnam remains slightly below the global average of 55%. Still, more than three in five (63%) are happy with their social life, while globally, only about half of respondents (52%) say so.
When it comes to Culture & Welcome, the share of expats who feel at home in Vietnam (18th) and say it카지노 게임 컬렉션s easy to get used to the local culture (17th) is higher than the global average, but it카지노 게임 컬렉션s another factor that makes the country stand out: 85% of expats feel welcome in Vietnam, which is 22 percentage points above the global average of 63%.
Vietnam카지노 게임 컬렉션s best ranking in this index is in the Local Friendliness Subcategory (5th). Almost nine in ten expats appreciate both the general friendliness (88%) and the friendliness towards foreign residents (89%); whereas globally, only 63% and 61%, respectively, say the same about their country of residence.
Living Standards Have 온라인 카지노 게임s Lower Their Sights
Quality of Life is Vietnam카지노 게임 컬렉션s sore point in our ranking. Despite an improvement by seven positions compared to last year, the country still lands in an unimpressive 40th place in this index.
The worst-performing subcategory is Environment & Climate (50th), where Vietnam ranks in the bottom 5 for four out of six factors: air quality (51st), availability of green goods and services (51st), government support for environmental policies (51st), and the urban environment (50th). In 42nd place, the natural environment fares slightly better, with approval ratings close to the global average (78% vs. 82% globally). Only the weather & climate (21st) make expats happier than in other countries (69% vs. 58% globally).

Vietnam카지노 게임 컬렉션s performance in the Healthcare Subcategory, albeit having improved compared to 2023, remains subpar. Its 37th place is mainly due to the below-average quality of medical care (54% positive ratings vs. 66% globally) and the lack of equal access to different kinds of healthcare services (48% vs. 60%). While general availability of healthcare (23% negative ratings vs. 16% globally) is an issue, it카지노 게임 컬렉션s fairly affordable when you manage to get it (62% positive ratings vs. 58% globally).
The Travel & Transit Subcategory holds another 37th position for Vietnam, with public transportation suffering from similar infrastructural problems as healthcare: mostly not available (44th), but affordable (14th). Unfortunately, there aren카지노 게임 컬렉션t many alternatives either: the infrastructure for cars doesn카지노 게임 컬렉션t impress (47th), and a quarter of expats (25%) say it카지노 게임 컬렉션s neither easy nor safe to get around on foot or by bicycle (vs. 13% globally).
The only two subcategories where Vietnam ranks above-average in this index are Leisure Options (17th) and Safety & Security (26th). Almost nine in ten expats (89%) appreciate the culinary variety and dining options, and four in five (80%) give culture and nightlife a positive rating (vs. a global 73% and 66%, respectively). However, the share of expats dissatisfied with the opportunities for recreational sports the country offers is almost twice as high as the worldwide average (21% vs. 11%).
When it comes to Safety & Security, personal safety (18th) and political stability (13th) pose no major concerns, but personal freedom suffers: a quarter of expats in Vietnam (25%) feel they cannot openly express themselves or their opinions (vs. 17% globally).
