Bro i think u make a wrong choice by having a family in spore. Your money will be spent on your family. That what i see in singapore. End of the day u cannot retire. To bad unless u make ton of money.
Eh if i have a choice i wun work here too. No lobang like some bro here posted to vn n get paid in sgd. but if most of the bro here like H88 can retire liao, I'm sure there's things to learn from the seniors here. Just like how they advice bro not to get kc by vb, think carefully abt get vb as wife. Once married financial planning played an impt part in the happiness of the life liao.
Spouse's high salary is not the only citieria for LTSVP+.
Below is extracted from ICA website.
Couples who have at least one child who is a Singapore Citizen from their marriage will be eligible to apply for the LTVP+. For those without an SC child, we will look at other factors such as duration of marriage, and will in general consider more favourably those who have been married for at least three years. Each application will be considered on its own merits. Other factors that we consider include the ability of the sponsor to financially support the family, and good conduct of both the sponsor and the applicant.
Just to share, we married last yr, got LTVP in jul 2011, when my wife preg, i go renew LtVP in apr 12, they give us LTVP+ liao. I belive good records is impt

Yes good records is very impt n plus yur wife is pregnant so even though its not more than 3 yrs of marriage, still can approve just like yur case. And one key sentence is they evaluate case by case.

I share a totally different view from you, after staying in VN for 5 years and 5 years of flying in and out. There's a few areas that you have to consider when you want to raise your family in VN, instead of Singapore. EDUCATION for your kids will be one big problem, unless you want your kids to go to their local schools and learn the communist teachings and speak only tieng viet. Although there are tons of English schools in VN, most students still cannot speak proper english after years of extra english lessons. Go to INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS? do you have the extra cash for it? If you have, i will rather you stay in Singappore and fly there weekly for business. Next is ENVIRONMENT. The air there is totally polluted in the big cities like HCM and Hanoi. Children there often suffer from respiratory infections. All these are my personal experiences. Unless you are retired and have the cash to stay there by the seaside to enjoy life and need not worry about children.
A lot of Singaporeans with Viet BX always think that VN is a nice place to stay because its CHEAP... A foreigner without money there commands no respect and even the police want to find you trouble. Some think that its simple doing business there, go try first and start talking about it after you earn your first US$100K from the viets.
Houses and cars are also not cheap in VN, relative to Singapore. In Singapore, kids can have cheap and good quality education. Life is competitive in Singapore and it is so all around the world. You should upgrade yourself and pit yourself against the competition instead of trying to run off to another country which you `think you know well' If you go VN to stay for some time and realised that you cannot make it there also and want to come back Singapore, you will be way behind the competition and have to spend even more effort to catch up.

What a good advise,totally agreed with u cos been through before so can relate on what u comment,share the same view with u
Yes good records is very impt n plus yur wife is pregnant so even though its not more than 3 yrs of marriage, still can approve just like yur case. And one key sentence is they evaluate case by case.
To put it in short,they have the final say and we have no say
we were young once before ... how we wish we have those seniors to give us valuable advices when we were young
"Advice" is a non countable noun; you do not add an "s" to make it plural.
"Advice" is like "Rice". You say... "Please pass me the Rice." You don't say "Please pass me the rices" because "Rice", like "Advice", is a non countable noun.
Eh if i have a choice i wun work here too. No lobang like some bro here posted to vn n get paid in sgd. but if most of the bro here like H88 can retire liao, I'm sure there's things to learn from the seniors here. Just like how they advice bro not to get kc by vb, think carefully abt get vb as wife. Once married financial planning played an impt part in the happiness of the life liao.
haha...no money no honey ma...
listen to bro SingViet advice...makes sense...dun think that get paid in SGD working in Vn is easy...when you come back the experience may be irrelevant...also many cannot cope with the fast pace of sinkie work...
for me makes money in sinkie...spend in hcm...best deal...prudent financial planning is needed to retire early...

For the seek of ur kids better stay singapore till they are independent then retire in VN. I never thot of staying in HCM only for investments. Better stay my wife place Vinh Long or go Can Tho.
VN still very bad place to live, policy not transparent corruption is hardcore. Everytimes i go back have to bring the cung angs there for ca phe and meals, if not they will also come my wife place to eat n drink.
Even with their presences, i still have problem buying house even using my wife name until i give up.
