Real tips from our placed teachers and students
Monthly rentals run $40–60 and include basic maintenance. A used bike saves long-term but comes with registration hassles.
A bowl of phở is $2–3, a full bún chả lunch around $3. Western restaurants cost 3–5× more.
"Expats in HCMC" and similar groups list rooms 20–30% below agency prices. Skip the agent fee entirely.
Techcombank and Vietcombank offer expat-friendly accounts. You'll save massively on transfer and ATM fees.
Unlimited data plans run $5–8/month. Avoid roaming or tourist SIMs — they're 4× the price.
Most teaching contracts include basic coverage. If you want international-level care, add $50–120/month for a private plan.
EduBridge matches teachers with schools and students with universities — visa, documents, and settlement all handled for one flat fee.
