About Ho Chi Minh City

HCMC moves fast and rewards people who can keep up. The coworking scene is mature — Toong, CirCO, WeWork, Dreamplex all operate at high quality. The e-visa for 90 days costs $25 and takes 3 days to process. Monthly costs of $1,000–1,400 deliver a quality of life that Bangkok or Bali cannot match at the same price. The food — pho, banh mi, fresh spring rolls, Vietnamese coffee — is some of Southeast Asia's finest. NordVPN is essential as Facebook is periodically restricted.
