How much does it cost to live in Vietnam alone?
To live in Vung Tau on a moderate budget, you'll need around $370/month. That covers renting a studio in a normal area ($280), weekday lunches out ($68), weekend casual meals ($22), a daily coffee, tea, or other cheap drinks (), a monthly transit pass (), and a few taxi rides (). No gym, no dining out every night — just everyday life.
How much does it cost to live in Vietnam for two?
If there are two of you, plan on around $519 ≈ €464/month — a proper apartment ($338), meals and daily drinks for both, two transit passes, and more taxi rides.
What does it cost to raise a family in Vietnam?
With a child, the total comes to around $555 ≈ €496/month. Kids eat less, rarely pay for transit, but you'll need more taxi rides and little extras add up fast. School fees not included.
