ExpatsLIST Streamlines the Move to Vietnam

Relocating to Vietnam just became significantly less technical. A new platform called ExpatsLIST has rolled out a suite of 41 interactive tools designed to replace the dozens of scattered spreadsheets and websites typically required for an international move.

The platform operates as a free, all-in-one resource for managing the logistics of a move to Vietnam and 11 other countries. It handles the heavy lifting of financial and legal planning through features like:

  • A visa requirements checker for tourist, business, and investor options
  • Cost of living and salary purchasing power calculators
  • A Schengen zone tracker and currency converters
  • Moving timeline planners and tax calculators

Beyond the data tools, the site hosts a searchable business directory. This helps nomads find coworking spaces, immigration lawyers, and healthcare providers in specific Vietnamese cities. There is also a marketplace for local housing and job listings.

Who can use these tools

The platform is built for digital nomads, long-term expats, and travelers planning extended stays. Because Vietnam remains a top tier destination for its low overhead and high quality of life, these tools are specifically tuned to help arrivals navigate local tax obligations and find established community networks.

How to access the platform

There are no subscription fees, account requirements, or hidden costs to use the service. You can access all 41 tools immediately by visiting the official site. While the platform provides the data and planning frameworks, those seeking hands-on help with physical moving logistics or complex residency paperwork can still pair these tools with traditional relocation agencies.

For the latest nomad news and policy shifts, stay tuned to our regular updates.
