IN THEIR WORDS

Member Voices

Stories from members building careers, families, and friendships across the country.

David Chen

Moved from Singapore

I’d been struggling to figure out my business visa.

I tried looking for help online, but different sources and groups had varying information, I wasn’t sure who or what was reliable.

However, one post in the community got me responses from people who’d dealt with the same situation, and I had my answer the same day.

Rachel Rossi

5 years in HCMC, from Italy

I almost didn’t join. I thought I had Vietnam figured out after five years. But the first conversation I had in VIA made me realise how much I’d been doing the hard way.

Thanh Vu

Viet Kieu · Returned 2024

I joined to connect with the international community here, people that chose Vietnam intentionally. The conversations I’ve had through VIA pushed me to think further

Ha Pham

Born and raised in HCMC

I’ve lived in Saigon my whole life. VIA made me see it differently.

Sarah Muller

3 years in HCMC, from London

VIA didn’t just give me answers — it gave me a room full of people who’d already been through it and actually wanted to help

Micheal Nguyen

Viet Kieu · Returned 2025

I came back to Vietnam after __ years abroad and had to rebuild everything. Where to live, how to register a business, where to send my kids to school. The Playbooks had answers all in one place, written by people who’d knew what they were talking about.

James Whitfield

2 years in HCMC, from USA

I came for the help. I stayed for the people.

The VIA Playbooks helped me with all of my questions of figuring life in Vietnam alone for the first time.

Beyond that, I met many new people through VIA who became close friends, making me feel at home.

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to your questions about our membership plans.

What makes founding membership different?

Founding members get everything regular members get — plus a permanently locked price of $19/mo (regular is $29/mo), a founding badge that never goes away, early access to the Hub, and a seat at the table to shape what VIA becomes.
Once the 50 spots are gone, founding membership closes forever.

When does regular membership open?

When all 50 founding spots are claimed. No set date — it depends on when the last spot is taken. After that, membership opens at $29/mo without founding perks.

Will regular members ever get founding perks?

No. The founding badge, the locked price, and early Hub access are exclusive to the first 50. That’s what makes it founding.

Is my founding price really locked forever?

Yes. Even if membership goes to $39, $49, or beyond — your rate stays at $19/mo for as long as you’re a member.

Can I start as a free member and upgrade later?

Yes — but not to founding. If you upgrade after the 50 spots are filled, you’ll join as a regular member at $29/mo. The only way to get founding status is to claim a spot now.

If I’m a founder and I cancel, can I come back at the founding price?

No. If you cancel, your founding status and price end permanently. You’d rejoin as a regular member at $29/mo.
