Hanoi guys and gals are smart or I should say too calculative. I had saw many pretty hanoi vb. Wow, I would say they really know how to earn $$. I had so call em gai from Hanoi. She can come easily to Singapore. until today, I didn't saw her being send back to VN before for at least 10 years. Recently, bring people from Hanoi and come Singapore Casino for gambling and also shareholder of a distant learning school in hcm where the University is in Singapore. I also saw many hanoi VB damn smart in earning $$ from people. When I chiong KTV in the west side, those hanoi vb asking price for LT are so damn scary.

Viet businesswoman and Viet WL are of totally different class. My Viet business partner has been travelling to Singapore almost monthly for the past 3 years and hasn't been sent back once. She's postgraduate degree holder, speaks good english and can express herself well at the immigration. She has been directed to the room before at Changi Airport but it only took her extra 20 mins to explain and show documents to the ICA officer and she's cleared. Most Singaporean man have only exposure to Viet WL and think that all Viet gals are like that. Many samsters here who know me wonder how i do business in VN for the past decade without speaking much Tieng Viet. My business partners there all speak english well and there's no need for me to speak lots of TV to communicate with them.

You have to see how long she stay for every trip to sillypore.
Those who frequently stay 1 mth with or without extension are classified in a category to those who come frequently with just few days stay.

Before marriage, i never let my bx stay more than 2 weeks per trip. Sometime go in office sometime not. After ome of the trips, a custom officer told me that her record is clean. Since then its easy entry for my bx liao.

She already spend 3 TET consecutively in sillypore. So this coming TET will be in vn.

My bx always wanna work and contribute. she is always showing me that there are so many job opportunities posted in fb (cho online singapore). We had discussed about the right timing to look for job. At the moment, she got to look after my son.

I am also looking for stuff to work from home for her... Any kang tao?

I will say its not easy now as the 2 main cities , HCMC and Hanoi , are already flooded with lots of foreign companies. To do business in VN, you got to accept the red tapes and give `coffee money' to the right person.

Everywhere every country also alot of big foreign companies..
The problem in vn is the amount of coffee money to give the right person.

Btw, the Hanoi vb I'm talking is a wl in the past and even now when she own some businesses in vn. She told me every woman need a man to pamper even when she is able to survive.
If I don't remember wrongly, she did told me that once she was in the office before, able to communicate good English help her to enter Singapore easily.

If possible try not to let her work since she need to take care of the kid. I believe there are some jobs like tailoring can be done from home. If she had such skill, she might able to help some companies.
