About this guide
Tam Lieu lives in Long Beach, California, and put this guide together to research retiring in Vietnam. Facts are checked against official sources, with last-checked dates.
How we check facts: every number and rule links to its source: an official or primary source wherever one exists (government sites, the U.S. Embassy, law texts), or the company's own page for company prices, which we label as company prices. Crowd-sourced figures are labelled too. Each source shows the date we last checked it; anything we cannot confirm is cut or marked “needs source”. Found a mistake? Tell us.
