Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

not matter how bad she is and no matter how much my gf complain about her, my gf still love her as a sis. So it is nature that my gf will defend for her.

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

Read few pages of the thread randomly and supposed most of the stories are very similar. I juz want to share my similar experience also... guess from the start of the relationship you have to test her real motive & set things right. When I first met my viet gf, she is rather naive and innocent. as time goes by, hear from her friends can get more and more from carrot head aka bf, she started to try her luck but she is few rare species that will feel guilty and drop the idea to ask for more when the rubber meets the road. Eg. she genuinely lost her hp one day & I went Mustafa with her to buy her one. Tested her reaction on those cheap models and she keep quiet and walk away. Finally one caught her eyes which I observed ($999 no contract), my smily face read knn in my heart when I face her. About to pay at the counter, she stopped me and tell me just buy the $69 model. Another incident she told me her parents owed $2k owing to house renovation as a storm had destroyed their house and needs to pay up asap. I told her this will be the first and the last and settled for them (of course I seen the house and confirmed its true). Wanted a bike to get around as she stayed very far away from HCM city, told her I can only afford one which cost $1.5k and she gladly accepted it. Also, need to pay her brother's education, I paid up $2k for him and he graduated with a Diploma and started working in another province earning $250/mth. Her father very sick due to spine problem and need money to see doctor every mth, I bought an insurance for him and the whole family so that my gf won't ask for huge sum of money to pay for their medical in future. I constantly drill into her to ensure her family can survive without her or at least she just need to give about $200/mth and that is the max for them. If her brother wants to buy a bike etc, never pay for him but can loan to him. This 5 years, things work well so far. I noted that her character and motive is vital. If your gf only wants more and more money & don't bother at all abt your well-being, then leave her alone. No pt go on especially her family also has the same mind set and take you as carrot head. Sorry, a little long and hope my sharing is constructive.

This is what I shared with him based on what I have done and the knowledge I know so far ..... :p

Bros here please comment and add on as well for more indepth understanding for the well being of those brox who has a Vietnamese Partner .... cheers :D

Sure, why not. I will answer to my best ability

ROM in Singapore if you wants her to stays in Singapore short-term, long-term, PR or ultimately becoming a Singapore Citizen.

ROM in Vn will cost some money & will need to do alot of paper work. Also you can apply to stay in VN up to 3 mths instead of the usual 1 mth.

I would say Yes ...
Also thats depends on whether she wants it anot but i doubt so because it's not about her but their parents....

Vn is still a very traditional country in terms of customs & beliefs .... In theory, they will want to have a customary wedding ceremony & a wedding reception .... why ??? Answer is "Face Value" .... If you don't hold the ceremony, how the family going to answer to their relatives & the neighbourhood on why a man keep coming to their place, subsequently their daughter got pregnant & have baby. People like to gossip if they spot something to talk about.

Whether ROM or not, maximum for a foreigner to stay is 1-2 mths.

But then since you all are married, you can apply for her a 6 mths Long Term Visitor Pass (LTVP) on-line. Approval takes about 4 weeks and subject to their terms and conditions. Application can only be done if she is in Singapore. LTVP Renewal is every 6 mths.

In fact, you can try to apply straight away PR for her but the process take much more longer in terms of months & years, while waiting for PR to be granted, they will at the mean time issue LTVP to her & likewise renewal is every 6 mths.

I hope this info are of some help to you .... cheers

FYI ...

1. I have ROM my wife in Singapore.
2. I have gone thru' the Vn customary Ceremony with my wife.
3. I have held a wedding reception in VN for them.
4. I have my full wedding photos taken in VN.
5. I have brought her for her pregnacy check-up @ their local clinic & she is now 3 mths pregnant.
6. I will be applying LTVP for her when she comes in October.

:cool:
