Expats in Vietnam ranked the country 9th in the Ease of Settling, and 6th in the Local Friendliness. Most expats (84%) described the local residents as generally friendly, and 83% find them friendly towards foreign residents in particular.

“The warmth, honesty, and friendliness of the people” are what a US American enjoys most about life in Vietnam, while a Malaysian expat highlights “the people and the friendly culture”.

Indeed, the local culture is another area where expats are especially pleased. About 83% feel welcome in Vietnam while the world proportion is 71%.

The survey noted that creating a personal network is certainly important to expat life. Expats ranked Vietnam among the top 10 in the Finding Friends Subcategory (7th), saying it is easy to befriend locals (54%).

More than two in three (69%) are happy with their social life while globally, 56% feel the same. Moreover, 63% have a personal support network in Vietnam, and they said can go to for practical/emotional support (vs. 59% globally).
