Relocate Asia
The month it costs, and how the city actually feels.
If you live on income that isn’t from the local economy, you belong here. Same 30-day question.
We start in Vietnam. Built to grow across Asia, one finished city at a time.
More than the number
Pace, weather, who you’ll run into.
The dollar is the start. On the card: weather, density, English, safety when we have it, and the catch — which neighborhood the number actually buys. Open a city for pace and lifestyle: same month, tighter or nicer.
The number
Cheap-but-not-miserable. Not a score.
The card is a 30-day solo stay: a 1BR at a monthly rate, outside the tourist core. Local meals, some Western. Scooter or Grab. Utilities. A local SIM.
That is not a hotel week, a scraped average, or a ranking. Need it tighter or nicer? The slider on a city page is the same month, stretched or squeezed. Same ingredients.
Flights, health insurance, visa-run costs, and sightseeing sit outside the number.
Honest
If we don’t know it, it isn’t there.
Unknown fields are hidden. We don’t fill a hole with a placeholder zero, a guessed average, or a blank that could be read as $0. There is no composite rank and no star rating.
Internet is yes, mixed, or no — not a fake Mbps that changes by building and week.
Visa is Vietnam’s 90-day e-visa, the same country note on every city. We don’t invent a per-city visa score.
No digital nomad visa as of 2026. Standard path is the 90-day e-visa (~$25 single / $50 multiple, all nationalities), not extendable in-country. Remote work for a foreign employer is a legal grey zone.
Now
Six Vietnam cities. Then we grow.
We put a city up when it’s finished, not to make the list look long. Asia is the horizon, not a promise of forty thin rows.
- Ho Chi Minh City
- Hanoi
- Da Nang
- Hoi An
- Nha Trang
- Da Lat
These numbers move.
We’ll email you when a city’s 30-day cost actually changes. That’s the whole list.
