It is not only <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">popular budget backpacking destination but also a popular place for retirees and expats. No matter where you live in Vietnam, you will find a unique vibe.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/asiantigersgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/cost-of-living-in-Vietnam-825x510-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"825\" height=\"510\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23039 size-full\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Source from clairesfootsteps.com&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cost of accommodation&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many expats choose <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">stay in Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi, which are two major cities in Vietnam. Even in these two cities, <\/span><b>a <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">couple can rent a decent one-bedroom apartment by spending around <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">USD$<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">500. If you live outside of these two largest cities, in places like Hoi An and Nha Trang, the rent will be even less.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cost of Food&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Vietnam, there are restaurants that will suit every budget and taste. You can have buffets in 5-star hotels and also local food on mouth-watering streets. If you dine in a fairly good restaurant five nights a week, including beer or soft drinks, food may cost you around US$300. If you live in other cities, the expense may drop 10-20%.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cost of Transportation&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Buses are the cheapest way to get around Ho Chi Minh City. However, they are designed mainly for locals, so the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">bus <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">routes are only printed in Vietnamese, and most of the bus drivers cannot speak English. Taxis in Ho Chi Minh City are plentiful and affordable. Most meters start at about US$0.5. You can also own a car. Foreigners with a <\/span><b>valid <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">passport and work permit can legally buy and own a car in Vietnam. As long as you have an international driver license, you can successfully apply for a driver license in Vietnam. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cost of living in Vietnam&nbsp;
