Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner

[Ichigo_Kurosaki]

My Vietnamese wife's sister will like to find and marry a Singaporean man. ......

After going through her terms and conditions.

Just 3 (Three) question:

1) What's her concept of marriage? ;)
2)What are her expectations of marriage beside the above T&C? :)
3) Why don't you introduce her to your circle of friends or relatives instead?? :confused:

[maxrex]

and may not find your sis in-law to their liking esp. now she is a MILF...:)

I will like to clarify that my sister-in-law is not MILF as you think because she has never been married before nor have any kids yet. To this day, she is still single.

[maxrex]

1) What's her concept of marriage? ;)
2) What are her expectations of marriage beside the above T&C? :)
3) Why don't you introduce her to your circle of friends or relatives instead?? :confused:

1) Register marriage legally either in Singapore or Vietnam. And have a wedding dinner ceremony, no need to have many tables. 10 - 15 tables are sufficient as long as the wedding bill is not so expensive.

2) She hopes for a happy marriage. She does not expect herself or her future husband to be pefect spouses as there may be some quarrels along their lives. Communication, respect, loyalty and love are important in the marriage. She also mentions that her future husband should discuss the marriage expectations with her together because she also wants to know about his expectations.

3) All my male cousins and male friends (including my ex-classmates) are already married. And I already asked them if any of their male friends is single and is interested in knowing a Vietnamese woman and I have told them of these conditions set by my sister-in-law.

[SingViet]

Aiyoh, 27 years old roi and not pretty , still so many criteria. Unless she is well educated, it's too much to ask. She wants well educated and good income Singapore guys and these Singapore guys want young, pretty and sexy Vn gals. The equation is just not there for her.

[casannova03]

yah, viet wife/gf can be very stubborn at times.
Just like my wife, everytime we go to ICA, always heated up.

But the thing i learned is no need to raise your voice at them. Tell them firmly and if they still insist, let them hit the wall. They will come back and starts to open thier ears to listen this time.


Very true and very wise!

I would not say all viet gals are like that but i would like to believe that 90% of them have an inborn ferocious trait in them. Perhaps its due to the harsh environment that they have to grow up and adapt to.....

In fact, barring knowledge, experience and exposure, I think this trait is very useful in doing business....they will try and try and try until someone or something proved them otherwise...but then a short while after that, they'll be back to their "stuborness" on another thing pretty soon.....;)

[casannova03]

Vietnamese woman likes to do it RAW :D

Well, according to hear-say,....AIDS is on a rampant rise in vietnam!!!!:eek::eek:

Pls continue to do it raw IF you feel your life is as worthless as a few moments of pleasure...

Take care!!:rolleyes:

[casannova03]

Not sure if fellow bros realized this, it's very difficult for Vietnam gals to wake up in the morning. Even if they sleep early the night before, they still want to sleep late. My wife, even after being in Singapore for quite some time too, still find it difficult to wake up in the morning to go market. She refused to wake up at 7am, saying it's alright to go market at 9am. The Vietnam gals my wife got to know in Singapore are all the same too, sleep till 10 plus to 11 daily. Lazy bums.



Agreed!!! :D

[shysaint]

AGreed to all bros who have commented ... NOT easy and Equation Defintiely NOT there ...

Criteria of a Blue Collar, guessed must have someone who have taught her , simply reason it's much more easier for her to get LTVP - PR - Citizenship ...

And seriously speaking, not all blue collar workers earn alot .... and person who earns alot definitely got other better choices (NO offence and NOT saying she is no good)

[casannova03]

Sounded like what Bro cassanova03 story but his case was mother initially strongly objected...but happy ending la...hope the same for you too...:)

Watch your wife carefully...like what bro SingViet said before after more than 3 years than he started trusting his wife...:)

If possible, tell your wife dun contact all her WL frens here anymore...WL frens are the common source of problems...:p

Talking about me?? HAHA!!

Yes, no matter what others say, if you think that you can handle what you are doing and knows what you are getting yourself into, then DO IT!!

There are no guarantees for any thing in life...much less a marriage....for the rest of the road ahead, I wish you much bliss and luck....Believe me...this is just the beginning...there are many more problems and situations that you will have to face even though you are married....In order to maintain the marriage, always keep a cool head and talk...yes talk a lot with her!!

Cheers!;)

[casannova03]

so did she really go to hotel with customers? Sorry for asking cos i believe a lot bros go thru the same ordeal and need advice to overcome these...

I use advice here because advise is a noun...:)

Generally, I guessed the question of going to hotel with her customer is of no concern to us.

If you really like her and you know what she does for a living, what's past is past...why try to find out something that you know will hurt you 99.99%?

What good does it do you? You will only get sad, angry, frustrated and might end up getting into a quarrel with your attitude of speaking and your bad mood.....

My question is: Even if you have a Singaporean gf, do you ask her before marriage if she's a virgin and has she been poked before? if yes how many guys? one guy how many times??

Come on! We're in the year 2010 now....:D

[KangTuo]

Very true and very wise!

Welcome back to SBF after MIA for nearly 3 months... :D

[Hurricane88]

I will like to clarify that my sister-in-law is not MILF as you think because she has never been married before nor have any kids yet. To this day, she is still single.

I apologised for the word MILF...hope you accept my humble apology...:)

I just clarified that from the newbie section - MILF: Mum I'd Like to Fuck (attractive/older/hot women with whom you wanna...)

I had always referred MILF as those above 25 and married or unmarried...:)

[casannova03]

Welcome back to SBF after MIA for nearly 3 months... :D

Haha...you actually counted?? why you keeping track of me huh?? LOL

[KangTuo]

Haha...you actually counted?? why you keeping track of me huh?? LOL

just look at your last post and today post lor..
where got time to keep track on you?
better to track the vb in JC/GL :p

[Ichigo_Kurosaki]

Bro maxrex, that's not what I was asking; anyway, it is better for her to keep an open mind when re-visit here again... Good luck! ;)

My feelings are the same.

[SingViet]

Many Vietnamese gals think that they sure get PR if they marry higher educated Singaporean man, but this may not be that true. I know of a few degree holders Singaporean man who are unable to get PR for their Vietnamese spouse due to unstable income. Sometimes, blue collar may be even more eligible than white collar.

any1 go ho chiminh this week?

totally agree. Note that unstable income may not mean low income but there are quite a number of white collars who job-hop regularly. To ICA, this is no good. They would rather prefer blue collar but stay in same workplace for many years.

[jf66312]

true..i just applied mine for my wife but got rejected.. :(

kind of expected cost she just finish only 1 year of her long-term..

and i just switch from white collar to blue collar job...
waiting for next mth to submit appeal..

I concured.

I always pre-empt my wife that PR now is not easy to get.
In fact donkeys years back in my 1st marriage I was a blue collar worker and thru 1st attempt that idoit PRC woman got her PR.
Now as a white collar worker, I dun even dare to think of 2nd attempt getting it.

Some folks have the misconception about blue and white collar worker. Unless one is in the higher management, they are almost the same, only different task.

The primary factors in getting a good chance of PR is that you as the husband must be STABLE in your job with achieving the minimal income requirement for at least a good 3 years with CPF. And don't owe any tax.

[ekemono]

The holy truth.. :)

[RealEstateGuy]

The holy truth.. :)

Brother, that is not true. I think either white collar or blue collar can have a "slave" mentality chained to same company. One must make the enterpreneurial leap. SG brother graduating with highest marks from NUS but slave at a MNC is still non alpha to me. Women put off by lack of ambition and entrepreneurual sense. Its like brothers who pay for pussy think they got big dick. Dick is small when no wallet. But if you get pussy from normal Han Chinese SG woman you got big dick. Brother, not many people understand these concepts unfortunately.

[SingViet]

u are very rite....

I wan to up u but no power. :)

Its alright. Its the thought that counts :D

What makes you think that being an entrepreneur will surely bring one good profits and stable income? Not all entrepreneurs make good money, just like not all property agents make big bucks. There are still a vast number of property agents still trying their best to make ends meet. I have also seen some so-called `entrepreneur' who claims that he owns several big business still live off his parents, drive car that's paid by parents and cannot even afford to buy a 3 room flat. I salute anyone, be it an employee or entrepreneur, who strives for the livelihood of his family. I despise anyone, who claims to be the TOP, but in reality, cannot feed his family. Stop dreaming, wake up , shut up and start working for a better tomorrow :D

[SingViet]

For any fellow singaporean guy that's thinking of marrying a viet gal, i just have the following points to remind you:

(1) If you are thinking that by marrying this viet gal, you need not spend money to go GL for paid sex, then you're terribly wrong. What you need to pay eventually will be much more than what you paid for sex in GL. Marriage is not about sex only, there's a lot of responsibilities involved and these responsibilities doesn't come cheap.

(2) If you are earning barely enuff to feed yourself, i will think its better for you to stay single. Most vietnamese ladies from the province do not posses the skills to earn living in Singapore. You have to feed her and also to a large extend, her parents back in Vietnam. There's a whole lot of truth to NO MONEY NO HONEY. Starting a family will require you to save a whole lot on yourself to pay for housing, transport, utlilities etc. Things will get worse after having kids. If a couple faces financial problems all the time, arguments will always be present. Frequent arguments will weaken the marriage.

(3) If you think what i'm saying is bullshiting, go ahead and try. You will find out the truth real soon... :D


Good Luck

I hope you would join ICA and i cock sure I will Q at your counter:D

Having spent a considerable time in Vietnam - Both South and North during the 90s (where white and black is clouding and grey is the colour of the day! and the girl with you could be a PPSF agent) and mid-00s (10 years apart, minus the occassional short trips) and seeing things which were weird, unbelievable outside of Vietnam, but true! I have to agreed with you. Though the country is in it's era of a time of dynamic economic change but certain customs does not change in Vietnam - There are No Rules, Only Money Rules ;):)

[naemlo]

All I know them from GL and jurong.

If u still dun understand where the problems came from??? :rolleyes: U will live your life blindly trusting them. :D

[myway]

My gal said exactly the same thing to me 2weeks ago. :eek:

i have a job. she nv asked $$$$ from me at all. n yet she chun 'pattern' cb must be those sisters teach her wan. :mad:

[ekemono]

4)thinking of marrying her.

I want to check with you can I trust her?

For the 4 years your encounter with her is momentarily only, how can you even dare habour qns of trusting her and worst, marrying her? You are killing yourself.
Get a job, work hard and grow your bank accounts.

And also, pardon my rudeness, surely as an executive you write emails and would understood paragraphing your sentences right?
You are writing like a seconday school student. :D
For 10 lines of words i read until I lost track

Is ok how I write at least you understand

[CuteBuns]

...... she nv asked $$$$ from me at all. n yet she chun 'pattern' cb must be those sisters teach her wan. :mad:

I am perplexed about the "she never take any money from me" sentence in general. I have a friend who keeps telling me his bx virtues. Sleep with him dont take money, never ask for $$$, go out also never chop carrot etc etc.....he claimed to have KCed her big time but I somehow feel its the other way round. Indirectly, he still spends around 1k plus on her during her 2 months in Singapore. He has flown to HCM now to see her parents and so on.

The crux of the story is that we should keep a clear mind on what a viet girl really wants, especially if its those u met in pubs and ktvs here. Of course, if its really true love, I am more than happy for any samster here. Pls do take your time do decide if she is the right one for u, even if it takes a few yrs. and lastly, never let your heart rule your mind till u can fully trust her.....

sorry for the long boring talk.....juz wanted to let out my views :)

[sammydavisjr]

I am sorry to jump into your discussions but I have something to ask. My Viet wife lives with me in spore for the past 5 years. She is a PR and has a steady job. I do not give her a lot of money.

She is very thrifty and has some savings. With her own savings, she intends to buy a house in Saigon which cost around $50,000. I am not sponsoring her with any money for the purchase.

She told me that only Vietnamese can buy houses in Viet and if I were to buy one, co-ownered with her, the title deed would show her name first, with mine below hers. Though I am the co-owner, I have no authority at all in any future sale.

My wife is quite naive and I am afraid she might get cheated by the people from hometown. She asked me to go along with her but I cannot speak Viet and I do not know the law governing the sale of properties there. Though this is her money, I still do not want her to be cheated.

Can anyone please help me with the answers to the following questions:-

1) the procedures in purchasing a house in Saigon
2) any website regarding this matter
3) how to know whether the title deed is authentic or otherwise
4) how long the whole process would be finalised
5) any other advice.

Thank you very much.

Sounds like you have a good wife. Congratulations!! Buying land or house in Saigon is a good long-term investment. The pent-up demand is still there. Many rich Vietnamese folks from the countryside sent their kids to study in Saigon, and after graduation, continues to live and work in Saigon. Parents buying(or partial sponsorship) houses as wedding gifts for their kids
are quite common. But S$50,000(730 million VND), if you are lucky, can only buy a very small house(e.g. 3X10m) in a very small hem(lane) in district 8 or Tan Phu district.

The house must have So Hong(pink paper). No So Hong, no purchase. Ask for photocopies of the So Hong and the owner ID. Check photocopies against
originals. Quite often, Vietnamese pledged their house for loan, and the bank keep the So Hong. If the house has been pledged to the bank, it is a little more complicated. Take photocopies to district office to check for authenticity and to check whether the property is already earmarked for clearance. Very often, Vietnamese try to sell even when earmarked for clearance because government compensation for clearance case is very much lower than market price. If everything is in order, draft an option to purchase agreement and get it notarised, and place a 10% deposit. Make sure all the family members are present and agree to the sale. The seller is responsible for processing the paperwork to transfer the ownership to your name with the district office,and pay the broker(if any). How long does the process take depends largely on how much the seller is willing to pay to
someone at the district office. It can be anywhere from one month to six months.

Good luck

[chong_kng]

Hi Bros

Just need to clear one more point,

when i and my girl ROM in Singapore, is it adviseable to buy one way ticket for her or need to buy two-way ticket for her when she come here? Tks.

If she is not going back after ROM then buy one way ticket la...quite sure you will ask other questions related to LTSVP or PR soon...if you do bother to read then you will find many answers here already...:p:rolleyes:

haha u're rite.
i was wondering she's not like that in the past.
maybe tt's y i lose her. :o

If you had read and follow this thread you will know that...your ger already had a new robert...:p

[naemlo]

when i and my girl ROM in Singapore, is it adviseable to buy one way ticket for her or need to buy two-way ticket for her when she come here? Tks.

If she is not going back after ROM then buy one way ticket la...

Some custom officers might ask to look at the return ticket and refuse her entry with 1 way ticket. Coming to SG to ROM is still on "tourist" visa and she needs to get out of SG before the visa expires. The best bet is to get a return ticket and it costs not much if on budget air.

Good and sensible answer, bro.:)

But better to book Jetstar than Tigerair. Don't want the girl to come for ROM, only for the flight to be cancelled. That will be a huge disappointment!!!:(

You can fly with Lion Air as they cash refund your un-used trip on the spot.
But get your GF to purchase it directly from the airline itself, instead of any travel agencies to be eligiable for a refund.
You can google thier ticketing office contact to enquire or made a trip down. Some of the Indo frontdesk are SYT. hehehe

Vietnam Air is abit tricky though but I believe some seniors can advice on this.

What bro naemlo mentioned about the tourist visa thingy is true.

[SING_IN_HCMC]

It can be anywhere from one month to six months.

Good luck

Good advice!!

Viet goods are always quite limited in Singapore. Even at those places where viet goods are sold, their prices are so much more expensive relative to Vietnam. Other point being Vietnamese travel between Singapore and Vietnam often, thus they will rather buy in Vietnam and bring back to Singapore, saving on the premium charge by importers.

OR still need to standby certain amount of money for her act as safeguard ?

Which option is safer? Or have any better ideas?

When my wife came in recently for the ROM, she just produce the "file notice of marriage". ICA officer need not ask anything further.

3 mth after she left and came back few days ago, ICA did not ask her to produce the "certain amount of $$" and in fact never ask her anything, maybe they saw she is pregnant ... :cool:

and he is trying to victimized me to get married ???



the wife work as some part time job for about $600

There are alot of our locals who is on this salary level but I dun see thier children running around like kids from Somalia, naked and with flies on thier eyes.

@ 2K isn't gonna be easy, but definately not dead meat, unless you spent mindlessly.

No OT = more quality time with family
What dead meat? :confused:

I guess you have to address the situation right ...

financial difficulties doesn't mean a victim in marriage.

only not enough money ... but its not end of the marriage ...

I guess bros here are pretty confused.

did your friend uses all his savings to marry her? or borrow alot of $$ from people to marry her??? or after his marriage he distant his relationship from friend and family?

Did the wife cheat on him , cheat on all his money or saving , have another man outside because he is poor , or the wife is a WL so support the husband, or the wife took other man's $$ and support the husband ?

Did they end up in divorced and he end up paying alot of maintenance ? sell the property and give her half ?

SO we are really confused what is the meaning of victim of marriage?

my this colleague (I dun treat him as friend)
previously work as a clerk. after kena retrenched found tis job and with the OT he making more money than before - so with more money go find pussy lo ...

did not borrow a lot of $$$, but i think enuff to make ends meet
after last company loses bid in contract,
another company took over contract, no more OT, so he earn less money now
- now fucking struggling !!!!

he did not distant his relationship from friend and family?
but he distant himself from reality !!!
contrary, once he ever asked me what is the best way to commit suicide :eek:
and at one time after many times of 'psycho' me to settle down,
he said in contradiction - "how i wish i'm like you a bachelor" - KNN

isn't he a dead meat ?


Did the wife cheat on him , cheat on all his money or saving , have another man outside because he is poor , or the wife is a WL so support the husband, or the wife took other man's $$ and support the husband ? this is the future prediction ??!!!

Gals everywhere are the same. They wish to have a hubby that's financially stable. Being financially stable doesn't mean you need to earn a lot, but it simply means basic needs are well taken care of. Viet gals tend to have lower expectations relative to local gals, but financial stability is quite a must too. But a person's career may meet with challenges sometimes and I m sure your viet spouse will understand if you explain to her. But financial instability due to laziness or unrealistic ambitions will be mostly untolerated by your spouse after some time. Who wants to marry a foreigner and end up with a life more difficult than in Vietnam ? Think twice before committing to a marriage, if you are having difficulty feeding yourself, don't drag another into this mess.

I don't understand about the woman charter, a Singapore woman can survive 20 over years without a husband. Suddenly when they are divorce, they cannot survive and need maintenance from husband.....

hi bros.. need your kind advices here

my ba xa is planning to work in singapore and now im trying to search for what job available options are there for her.. what i can think of is she can probably work as a waitress in a restaurant, sales assistant in those shopping mall shops or cashiers, supermarkets etc..

can i ask bros out here what are some other legal jobs that might be available for her? or any bros ba xa here oso working in singapore?
my bx only secondary school education and but is able to speak simple english.

also, if she works for a company, does the company issue a work permit to her?

[ekemono]

she needs a work permit to work in SGP.

Retail, F & B are some options but I sense the employer maybe a bit concern about her understanding of Mandarin as well, as SGP is a multi-cultural society.

If you happen to pass by Joo Chait, can approach those Viet food eatery to see if they need workers. Just a try. no harm.

also, if she works for a company, does the company issue a work permit to her?

she needs a work permit to work in SGP.

Retail, F & B are some options but I sense the employer maybe a bit concern about her understanding of Mandarin as well, as SGP is a multi-cultural society.


Vietnam is not in the Work Permit (Foreign Worker) Eligibility...click here to read...http://www.mom.gov.sg/foreign-manpower/passes-visas/work-permit-fw/before-you-apply/Pages/default.aspx

So for your bx to come to work in Sinkapor as non-skilled must be a PR...:)

[xyman]

you lost me there. you're saying $10 for 6 persons meal in Sillypore izzit.

In Vietnam...:) never happen in Singapore unless you buy rice and bread only

If you happen to pass by Joo Chait, can approach those Viet food eatery to see if they need workers. Just a try. no harm.

One more thing I cannot understand, a S-Pass holder can request a dependent pass for his spouse, if the spouse manage to find a job and the company is willing to employ her, MOM will issue a letter of consent for her to work in Singapore....

A lot of bros here have difficulties in getting a valid permit for the foreign spouse to work legally in spore...

Your bx cannot work in Sinkapor if she is not skilled. Can only work here with Employment Pass or PR.

I suggest you read thru this thread which had discussed this matter many times in many cases similar to yours.

that means this is 2 scenario.

1) LTVP holder, most likely spouse of SGP citizen can apply work permit

OR.

2) Skilled workers only

Well i think so thats the case ...

However ... if u married to a Singaporean and holding a LTVP, a work permit can be issue ...

My BX's friend who used to not working is holding an LTVP, but then near to expiry date, instead of renewing, she actually applied for a work permit and got it approved and she is now working as a pedicure assistant ...

I think it will be good if you refer to my earlier post. Foreign spouses can work in Singapore as long as they hold LTSVP. Employment of these foreign spouses also will not constitute to the quota of foreign workers set by MOM. But the big problem is, most of the viet spouses are not fluent in either languages, and most companies will not employ them. Viet eateries may be exception

Yes , i read that ..... therefore my reply quite close to what you have described earlier ...

MY BX LTVP in-principle approved for 1 year .. :) but however will not go ahead with the application ..

she can't get used to life here, boring, no one to talk to , can't eat well .. some more 6mths preganant .... so will be going back to VN to give birth ..

But then ... staying happy will be good for her and the baby .... as long as she is happy and well taken care of by my mother-in-law ... its okie lah ..

I give in because I fond out that the child can stil be a Singapore Citizen despite giving birth in Vietnam ....

Birth there cheaper lot, $$ can used longer ....

the only thing is gona MISS her alot lah ... :mad:

Thats why now I have translated my ROM cert into vietnamese version, so that I can get our marriage recognise in Vietnam, then when baby born can put my name in the birth cert ... then can go to Singapore Emabassy in Vietnam and apply Citizenship for my child and once done can claim baby bonuses ...

Its okie lah, it just a bit troublesome lo ...

By recognising our marriage, then me can apply for long-term resident card up to 1 yr and after 2 yrs can apply for Vetnam PR with proof of source of income in Vietnam ...

Got every process figure out ... so guess it's Good deal afterall .. :D

giving birth in vietnam can save you lots of money. when my wife gave birth to my twin daughters in S I Hospital in 2004, i spent only US$1200 ( if i didn't remember the amount wrongly) A1 ward for 5 days. If give birth in province, lagi cheaper. Everything in less than 2 million vnd :eek:

Tu Du Hospital, is the KK hospital of Saigon, is overloaded with expectant
mothers from Saigon and the countryside. The hospital is undergoing massive renovation. Two sharing a bed is a common sight. During a popular year(like Year of the Goat), some expectant mothers need to wait along the corridors;
like sow getting ready to give birth to piglets. Doctors and nurses %#@$*
patients very common. You need to give money to them to ensure a pleasant
stay for your wife.

Hung Vuong Hospital(near to Hung Vuong Plaza) is another place for
expectant mothers. Facilities relatively new but equally crowded and noisy. The same practice of giving money to doctors and nurses to ensure no complication also apply.

FV Hospital doctors and nurses are not supposed to accept money. If caught
can get fired; only fruit basket etc. is allowed. There is a free shuttle from
FV clinic at Le Thanh Ton (quite near to Ben Thanh market) to FV hospital
for you to take a look first. Service is first class; too many to mention here.
You get what you pay. Ba Xa will love you aplenty. In-laws will be impressed. Money worth spending.:D

I thought so to give her what she deserved.

I told my BX about FV Hospital ... she say too far and too expensive (16million dong) for 4 nights ...

So now , I am waiting for the opening of Hanh Phuc hospital at Binh Duong province .. this hospital is managed by Thomson Medical ... Building looks very impressive ,, hope the price is okie ....

Price for me is okie as long as I can go in and witness the birth of my child, I don't want like in Tu Du, only can wait outside and recieved the good news .. hahahha ....

16 million vnd for 4 nights is considered very cheap roi. But the distance between binh duong and FV Hospital is a bit far during emergency. I will think that price at Hanh Phuc Hospital is around the same as FV Hospital.

Seriously I think so FV hospital price is quite reasonable...and guess likewise Hanh Phuc is around the same ....

The main consideration is the Distant which you have pointed and the BX say too far ..

Her Mum ask her to go Tu Du Hospital coz they are experienced and I happen to read a blog of a 'Ang Mo''s wife gave birth there and the experience is reasonably good ...

The only trade off is I have to wait outisde and cannot see the delivery ....

I guess Tu Du is also close to 10million dong .... :eek:

She is carrying my 1st baby with her and I want to witness the birth of my baby girl .... thats a MUST for me in deciding the hospital ...

The price on healthcare packages will differ between those patients with insurance and those without. Those who buy the VIP policies will see the most differences. But it still doesn't come up to US$1200. I did major spinal operation there and differences in price have not reached US$1200 for non-insured and insured patients.

One thing I noted is that if I did the same operation in Singapore, it will cost me at least 350% more

Though I am not against the idea, I am curious as to why some bros allow to have their baby delivered at Vietnam.

Even though it is cheaper, but how many babies do you make in your lifetime of marriage to have consider this option?
I have not tried but I beleive some foreign hospital in Vietnam too have the same high medical healthcare and hygiene standard as our local hospital. But I just cannot give in to the idea of being seperated thousands of miles away from my fragile newborn flesh and blood, and to a wife who surely for now needs my love and companion even more.

I was also broke when my baby girl came 5 months ago, and shivering when I was waiting for them to print out the total medical bills at Mount Alvernia, but fortunately our doctor had already pre-empt us on the cash needed. I think all doctors will advice on this. Apart from it, we can also utilise our medi-save to help out.

Overall, while one can save some money doing it in Vietnam, the meaningful participation in collecting our baby from the nursery for breast-feeding, running out to nearest food centre to get tastier food for wifey and seeing her appreciation for your love and care... Priceless.

No offence to any bros, just my humble opnion. cheers

Bro .. well said .. I truly agree .. especially I am father of 2 daughters from my previous marriage.

For my current case , I have no choice but to have the delivery in VN ...

1. She miss home and cried ...
2. She not used to eating local food ... can't afford to go on since she is 6 mths pregnant.
3. Feeling Lonely and No one talk to her ... my mum likes her and take care her but she can't speak english
4. $$$ here spent fast, the amount spent here last much longer in Vn and she can save up for future
5. After birth, got to go into confinement period ... thats tough for my mum

so all in all, I have no choice but to give in .... still got 4 mths to delivery, hopefully I can convince her to come January with her mum ...

For my current case , I have no choice but to have the delivery in VN ...

1. She miss home and cried ...
2. She not used to eating local food ... can't afford to go on since she is 6 mths pregnant.
3. Feeling Lonely and No one talk to her ... my mum likes her and take care her but she can't speak english
4. $$$ here spent fast, the amount spent here last much longer in Vn and she can save up for future
5. After birth, got to go into confinement period ... thats tough for my mum

so all in all, I have no choice but to give in .... still got 4 mths to delivery, hopefully I can convince her to come January with her mum ...

Bro, all the best of luck to you.

How do you handle so many daughters and marriage financially ?

[SingViet]

Bro .... the price I quoted is the insurasnce premuim offered by FV Hopsital ... :p

Before you start off with any procedures in FV Hospital, you will be quoted 2 set of prices. The first set of price is around 50% higher and its for patients that are insured, the second set of price, which is 50% lower than the first set, is for patients that are not insured.

[SingViet]

Bro .. well said .. I truly agree .. especially I am father of 2 daughters from my previous marriage.

For my current case , I have no choice but to have the delivery in VN ...

1. She miss home and cried ...
i feel that she has to get used to life in singapore. if she cannot leave Vietnam, she shouldn't have married a foreigner. Or bro, you can let her mix around with some vietnamese spouses in singapore
2. She not used to eating local food ... can't afford to go on since she is 6 mths pregnant.
This again is a case of adaptation. If she wants to stay in Singapore for the longer term, she has to adapt to life here.
3. Feeling Lonely and No one talk to her ... my mum likes her and take care her but she can't speak english
i guess you have to arrange for her to mix around with some vietnamese spouse in singapore
4. $$$ here spent fast, the amount spent here last much longer in Vn and she can save up for future
that's what most singaporeans think. Yes, you save on the hospital fee, but you will be spending much more on her family than your newborn daughter.
5. After birth, got to go into confinement period ... thats tough for my mum
this one i can understand. my mum also couldn't assist my wife during her recent confinement period. I had to employ my wife's elder sister to come. She gave all sorts of reasons that she need higher salary than her husband's salary in province. She asked for 5 million VND a month and when she went back after 3 months, i still gave her another $500 red packet and also lot of other gifts she asked for.

so all in all, I have no choice but to give in .... still got 4 mths to delivery, hopefully I can convince her to come January with her mum ...

overall, i feel that she got to convince your spouse to get used to life in singapore. she cannot be forever going back to Vietnam. Or unless you shift back to Vietnam with her.

Just my 2 dong worth of comments :D

Is this possible? It's Nov now and she's got 4 months to delivery. She will be too heavily pregnant to be flying in Jan.

2. She not used to eating local food ...


hahaha...me too start to crave for Vn food...I started to dislike local food...after eating dumpling noodles, wanton noodles, etc.. in hcm...I hardly eat locally because it just dun taste nice...:)

But for shysaint...you have to convince your wife otherwise hell for you to keep travelling...:)

hahah, tell me about that bro. My last 2 trips to HCM (after being away for more than 6 months due to health reasons) saw me going around taking all my favourite food. Nice nice, Singapore food is seriously not too nice relative to viet food. :D

Good to share...typically I enjoyed 1 bowl of chor bee hoon with delicious pieces of fish not fillet but chunks and some roast pork with nourishing soup base for only 15k VND...a healthy delicious sumptuous morning breakfast...mama miya....this dish cannot find locally here...:)

[KangTuo]

from another thread,

VN gal looks stern, unconcern, etc ... being their traditional culture, inside them they are still shy about it ....

Like my BX, she only say 1 day 1 time I Love you, anything more she will make noise ..

My BX don't even say sorry most of the time ... but when you are very concern about it , she will say sorry ...

Outside when walking, if hold her hand , she feel so shy coz everbody looking at her ...

Good thing they will keep in their heart and they will remember .... they don't show it out ....
Bad things they wil rant about it ...

Your bx is a total opposite of my girlfriend.
1) she like to hear me say "ox nho bx", few times a week, she will ask me if i love her (probably we are apart most of the time)
2) my girlfriend say sorry more than I say sorry. Especially after she vent anger at me.
3) hold hand no problem anywhere anytime.
4) bad thing she keep in her heart. Only say it when I sense something not right and I ask. good thing she share with me, share happiness.



2. She not used to eating local food ... can't afford to go on since she is 6 mths pregnant.
3. Feeling Lonely and No one talk to her ... my mum likes her and take care her but she can't speak english


2. try cooking at home rather then eat out. Rice with few vege (cook with fish oil) same same their daily meals in VN. My girlfriend MSUT eat rice, so either cook at home or eat "chay beng" outside.

3. while she is in vn and few more months to give birth, ask her to learn English or Chinese. Previously I learn TV to talk to her... but start of last year, I let my girlfriend learn english and chinese.

[KangTuo]

Number 1 in your list must be com tam with 2 piece of pork chop :p
I also miss the vn food in vn.... vn food in jc cannot compare to it.

2 pieces of pork chops with 2 fried eggs.. Hehe .. But that was last time. Now after the operation, my body went thru lots of changes. Appetite much smaller and I am 25kg lighter. Last time I always ask my viet driver to turn air con to full blast, now ask him to turn smaller because scared of cold.

[shysaint]

Is this possible? It's Nov now and she's got 4 months to delivery. She will be too heavily pregnant to be flying in Jan.

Yes and no for some airlines ... gotto read the clasue thoroughly.

For jestar okie ... however you cannot buy offline, you have to call call center and buy ... 30-35 weeks - can fly but need doctor certification to fly and got to sign indeminity form.

something like that can't remember, got to go check and read again....

Agree , but then she is also the only child and her mum really concern about her well being ... so sighzzzz .... headache ....

Shift back to Vietnam ... extreme high possibility .... having undertsanding now I can apply PR VN or Temprorary Resident Card for 1 yr ....

[shysaint]

Bro Volvano ... Thanks for your valuable suggestions ,

bro....why dun u get ur mother in law to come here n look after ur wife instead....

That's what I am thinking of ...

cost of living may be expensive in Singapore,but if u add in all the time u going to waste n money on air tickets to n fro for this 6 months,i think maybe the amount comes to almost the same....

I agree ...

[shysaint]

Bro, all the best of luck to you.

How do you handle so many daughters and marriage financially ?

Thanks for your blessing ...

Good Qn ... :D I sometimes also don't know :confused:

I agree ... but nowfor the well being of her as she is pregnant , I have to give in ...

[shysaint]

My girlfriend MUST eat rice, so either cook at home or eat "chay beng" outside.

My BX also same. MUST eat rice .... morning also eat rice .... :D

3. while she is in vn and few more months to give birth, ask her to learn English or Chinese. Previously I learn TV to talk to her... but start of last year, I let my girlfriend learn english and chinese.

Previously, enrolled her in english and paid deposit , but waited for 2 mths haven't start , so give up the idea .....

probably will get her to do so.... again ...

Shift back to Vietnam ... extreme high possibility .... having undertsanding now I can apply PR VN or Temprorary Resident Card for 1 yr ....

hahaha...I have long given up eating hamburgers or double cheese burgers or french fries...such sinful food...really enjoyed a bowl of delicious hot soup noodle at only 10-15k vnd...I always give my fatty pork away...like to eat with lots of vege and bean sprouts...I think I am ready to retire to live in hcm...kekeke...:)

[ekemono]

hahaha. You are good to go.
But on a side note, thier seafood is relatively fresh compare to SG, especially the flower crab and tup tup (mantis shrimp) in Ha Tien, Banh Anh.
You actually buy them fresh right off from the fisherman's net.
Very good to sit on the floor eating it with beer.

Most of the buses that ply between Mekong Delta and TP.HCM operate from the Central Bus Station in Quan 6.

[shysaint]

[lovesprout]

Most of the buses that ply between Mekong Delta and TP.HCM operate from the Central Bus Station in Quan 6.

There is another bus station called "Ben Xe Mien Tay". You can find many mini bus there going to all part of Mekong Delta.

Bus #2 goes from Cho Ben Thanh to Ben Xe Mien Tay. If you take a taxi from the airport, it will cost you around 150,000-200,000 dong.

[papillon30]

Most of the buses that ply between Mekong Delta and TP.HCM operate from the Central Bus Station in Quan 6.

That is Ben Xe Mien Tay. Buses and minibuses for Mekong Delta. Mai Linh
operates minibus service to Mekong Delta.

This will help me communicate greatly more with my wife, and also she can learn the proper pronounciation of the English words.

You are right on this. I have never taken any bus in Vietnam thru my years there. It's always by car if I go to province. I just know it's at Q6 because my wife and I used to fetch our maids from there when they arrive at TP. HCM

Since your have the experience, why do you need a local partner? You have your Vietnamese wife as the front. And, you behind, as the puppet master. Most Vietnamese are untrustworthy. With local partnership, if biz is successful, they swallow the whole operation. If failure, it is your baby.
Vietnamese don't even trust each other. Cheating and lying are as common
as the sunrise and sunset. Contract is as good as the toilet paper.

I totally agree with yr statement. Doing business in Vietnam is not as easy as what most singaporeans thought it is. I spent many years building up on my business, on the way, the amount of shit I went through is not what most can imagine. Vietnamese cannot be trusted in business, what they promised are mostly bull shit. Even contracts are useless. Trust yourself when doing business in Vietnam, if needed, let yr Vietnamese Ba xa assist you. The Vietnamese market is so much more competitive as compared to when I first enter. Capital needed is also much higher. The recent huge depreciation of the Vietnam dong is also much headache, affecting sales and revenue. Think thrice, plan carefully, and get to know the market better before you invest.

excellent viewpoint. This should apply to all samsters that want to start business in vietnam or in most asian country. If the law does not requires it, never go looking for local partner. The locals will really swallow u up.

look at what happen to singapore in china, suzhou industrial park. After we built that, the chinese built another park right at the entrance nearby. Contracts are shit in china and vietnam. Its all relations and greasing the hands of associates and officials. Now, its Tianjin Eco park, I have chinese friends who are laughing at us, saying why we singaporeans like to be chai tao.

Bro ... Papillion , Cutebuns , Singviet :

Thanks for your valuable comments ....

Right now , I just find out ... for foreigner to own and gain directorship or control a business fully or to own share of a company ... you have to get a Permanent Residency Card ... else you are like working as an employee stated in the contract.

Guess that's why .. many business after some years are being swallow by their partners ...

1st, I will definitely go apply for the card.

2nd, However, if partnership is going to involve, I will put my wife BX as partner plus myself ...

Really appreciate ... please share more if everything pops up from all of you ...

Agree ...

besides they are also lazy workers .. abit stress only .. cannot work ...

they also want me to travel along with them to provide fire power and artillery support as a foreigner import ...

But then for business to flow quickly, i need them to converse in vietnamese for me ...

Making use of them rightfully and carefully ... :D

u can put ur bx name n the partners name...whereas u can add in ur name as a foreign investor......if u do it this way then u can avoid meeting those government officers....best is to let Vietnamese deal with the authorities...

Vietnamese people always promise can do this can do that,but when got any problems,they will just tell u 'xin loi oi anh,lam khong duoc'.....
