Public hospitals in Vietnam are overcrowded and language-challenged. Expats generally avoid them for all but emergencies. Foreigners registered with a Vietnamese employer can access the public health insurance system (BHYT).
International private hospitals serve the expat community well in Hanoi and HCMC: Family Medical Practice, Vinmec International, Columbia Asia, FV Hospital (HCMC). Quality is good; costs are moderate.

Health insurance is not legally required for most expat visa categories in Vietnam, but it is essential. Medical evacuation from Vietnam to Singapore or Thailand for serious cases can cost $20,000–50,000 without coverage.
A Vietnamese bank account simplifies daily life — cheaper rent payments, utility bills, local transfers and receiving salary. The process has become easier for foreigners holding TRCs.
Foreigners can buy property in Vietnam under the 2014 Housing Law, but with significant restrictions: maximum 30% of apartments in a building, no more than 250 houses in a ward, and ownership is limited to 50 years (renewable). Foreigners cannot own land — they lease it from the state.
