Is Vietnam the Best Country for Americans to Move To?
For the first time in half a century, more Americans are leaving the United States than arriving.
And a growing number of them are landing in one unexpected destination: Vietnam.
In this documentary, Four Corners Travel explores what life actually looks like for Americans who have made the move — from the soaring cost of living in the US that pushed them out, to the $330/month apartments, two-dollar bowls of pho, and 81-cent prescriptions that convinced them to stay.
We travel to Da Nang — the city at the centre of this quiet migration — and speak with expats who are working less, living more, and building entirely new lives in a country that, weeks earlier, they had never imagined calling home.
We cover everything you need to know:
📌 The real cost of living: rent, food, healthcare, and transport
📌 Vietnam's 90-day e-visa and how the "visa run" system actually works
📌 What Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City, and Hanoi offer expats
📌 The challenges nobody warns you about — traffic, language, loneliness, and impermanence
📌 How to build community and find your footing as a foreigner
Whether you are seriously considering the move or simply curious about what life beyond the West looks like, this is your most comprehensive guide to living in Vietnam as an American.
