Hi everyone,
My boyfriend and I are trying to figure out a way to stay here in Vietnam for up to a few years. We're currently here on a 3 month C1 Tourist visa. He's from the UK, I'm from the US.
We both work online (for ourselves).
Questions:
1. Is it illegal to work (or volunteer) when here on a tourist visa?
2. How many times can we apply for the 3-month extensions?
3. Interested in suggestions on the best way to stay for multiple years...we were thinking about extending once, then we're both leaving for a few weeks this summer, and coming back through Cambodia and making that trip yearly? Or is that only available to tourists?
Some other possibilities I'm willing to look in to are getting a visa through an NGO I'm working with here, starting a business here, or starting an NGO here...if anyone knows if any of those options are easier or more certain (or not), I'd love to hear your insight.
Thank you!
