Find Tips and Advice on Vietnam from American Expats

Regular socializing with fellow Americans is an essential part of expat life and helps getting accustomed to the Vietnamese way of life and mentality. InterNations helps you connect and meet up with other Americans in Vietnam, residing in Hanoi, Ho-Chi-Minh-City, Vinh and many other places throughout the country. Just take a look at our group of Americans in HCMC or Americans in Hanoi.

  • Look up our top quality network to get to know open-minded expats from the United States of America in Vietnam.
  • Obtain and share insider tips in our Vietnam Expat Forums – e.g. how to hire a babysitter fluent in your native tongue for your children or where to get stuffed turkey in Ho-Chi-Minh-City.
  • Search the InterNations Places database for Vietnam to get information on institutions from your home country, including the American embassy.

From Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park with its phenomenal caves and grottoes to the Red River Delta, we’ll help you connect with supportive and friendly American expats in Vietnam.
