If she is on a visit to see her boyfriend, do you still need 1500SGD?

Thanks.

Yes, she need certain amount of money to show that she is here to be a tourist and to spend.

Even if she has the money, she is subjected to go to the office for interview. This will depends on her luck and her skill to convince the officer on that day. Alot of vn gals also use visiting boyfriend as an excuse. But some are still not allowed to enter sillypore.

If your galfriend is whom you get to know from JC/GL pub, you send money to her, she may not come so soon. Maybe use the money to spend in VN 1st.

Alot of gals will always try to call thier 'boyfriends' in sillypore to help them come back sillypore to work. If you never help, they still got ways to come, maybe take a while longer.

`Visiting Boyfriend' excuse is way too common . ICA officers at changi airport hear the same excuse from China, Vietnam and thai gals coming into singapore daily. until the day she can produce a valid marriage certificate, ICA still see her as an `alien' and not related to you in any way. Even if one day she produces a marriage certificate to show her relation to you, ICA will want to see your education certificates and income slips to verify if you can support her in Singapore.

This is speaking from alot of experiences...many many years of experiences...hahaha...priceless education...

Imagine 1 gal arrive and say visit bf...there is around 150k or more gals visiting Sin at anytime, so the ICA officers heard this excuse alot of times...so 150K multiply by 30days = 4.5 millions times per month or 54 millions times in a year hor...

Some gals used this excuse...1) visit my sis who going to get married.. 2)visit my sis who just given birth...etc

for the past one year, both she and I have been spending lots of money in SMS and phone calls ... few hundred a month. We both feel we are wasting lots of money. I suggested using yahoo/msn to chat, at least can see each other via webcam, can talk over yahoo voice.

she knows a bit about computer usage, using yahoo/msn should be no problem, but she hates to go to internet "cafe" or may be lazy. Now she wants to buy a laptops or PC to be used at home.

the technical questions now:

In vietnam (hcm), is there any home internet services like dial-up, home broadband or even mobile broadband (those with mobile modem like a USB sticks)?

Any of their mobile phone service providers got offer these kind of internet services? and what are the monthly cost?

Thanks for information .... On behalf of my "female vietnamese friend".

you can get cheap fixed broadband everywhere (mobile - I know there are some solutions, but I never tried "broadband" mobile here, it's not really fast anyway, for mobile I'm only using gprs here, and that's no good for chat).

for maximum 50USD installation incl modem and 20USD/month you should be able to get a good adsl line for your needs, cheaper is also possible. some areas also have cable (TV cable) broadband I think.

don't let her trick you into spending too much on a laptop, she will no doubt try that since you are "rich", but most likely she has no use for a fancy laptop as she won't use it for video editing or 3d games anyway, a few hundred USD is enough.

depending on how well you know her, if you're the curious type, and what your plans for her are, you might consider adding some surveillance software ("spyware" ), so that you can see who else she is chatting and emailing with...speaking on a general basis, without knowing her particularly, you could be surprised...just a thought, since many girls are hedging their options.

[Honey Boon]

thanks for the great info ... bro.

in my next trip, will explore with her about the services available. btw, who are those service providers? thanks ...

no, i won't be buying new laptop for her cos that will be a very expensive toy for her. plan to pass her my old notebook cos I am getting a new one for myself.

we are into our second year "friendship", yes I am those curious type even if after 10 years so what kinds of software I can install to "spy" on her. She surely won't know cos she knows very little about computer.

service providers

VNPT (Vietnam Post and Telecommunications, the old Gov't Monopoly) has a service called MEGAVNN, distributed in HCM through CONG TY TIN HOC BUU DIEN - NETSOFT

Viettel, the army telco company VIETTEL - Services

FPT - highly recommended, usually better service and less censorship than the others: ADSL FPT

Maybe there are some local providers I don't know about, but anyway, I'd go for FPT.

Used laptop, very good. If she's a very good ger, she'll be happy, and then she's truly a keeper if she's looking for money and things, she'll ask for a new one...I've been through this a couple of times

For Monitoring: I have used eBlaster from Computer and Internet Monitoring Software myself, I think it's the Rolls Royce of Monitoring SW, but there are other options also.

If you don't install anti-spyware, the notebook will quickly become unusable, vietnamese girls tend to download and install all kinds of stuff, including viruses and troians, so make sure you install up-to-date anti-spyware on the notebook before you give it to the girl, check if it can detect your monitoring software, if it can, add it to an "allowed" list in the anti-spyware software.

You may also want to install some kind of remote control or remote desktop sw, like www.logmein.com (I use the free version). That way you can take control of her notebook whenever she has fucked up something, or if you need to install something to monitor, you can do it remotely.

I wish you all the best with your ger

they have ADSL dial up. Apart from the laptop you will need a ADSL/wireless router. Suggest you get them in SG as its cheaper. D-link works.
Cost is est. SGD$30 but may be wrong. Speed is relatively fast.

I use one at the wife lady friend home during my virgin visit

yes, you will need a modem if not provided by telco...and wireless router, I used a lnksys wireless router with 4 port at home...I bought used and cost me SGD40. Brand new is around SGD70-80. D-link cost around the same..buy up to G version enough...

[Honey Boon]

Thank you all for all the technical clarification and information. I shall for one time to pose as an IT professional in my next visit ....

I have a guy friend who married a vietnam girl 2 years ago and started to isolate from my group of close friends.
This girl can speak good chinese and was in her late 20s when my friend know her. He claimed that he got to know her thru his colleague's wife who is the cousin of his wife. We kinda to believe him la even we have not meet her before until today.

Alot of problem for him because his wife can't get along with his mother and keep pressurised my friend to get a HDB flat and rent out...to who i also dunno...My friend is those chee hong type, will listen to wife and forget friends and family members....long story because he can even lied to us for $$$ because of his wife....called me one afternoon and tell me he had received a court letter for summon because he has acted as an guarrantor for a friend bankcrupty to travel to overseas but he never returned....in the end we found out which is not true....jialat think he kena voodoo by this girl anyway,they had already R.O.M after knowing each other for few months.
he is helping his wife to settle debt in vietnam by taking loan from Easi cash from GE because she has a failed business in vietnam before she came over singapore. before married, my friend will every month help her remit $500 but after marriage she demanded for $1k otherwise she would go JC to work..WTF further more my friend is those listen to girl type,
got girl no friend.... cheong with him for years already know his styles
In order to help her, my friend borrow $ from us but we only lend him 25% of the amount his request because we knew that he would neva able to get back the loan. As a favour to him...hope he know what is doing.
No new from him lately, last time he called me was to help him to apply for an online application of a flat coz he is an IT idiot...he thought the fee is free also never volunteer to pay me...$10 i also never ask la...

The most shocking thing hor was on my big days he also never turned up...what a friend hahaha....he said forgotten..... i purposely dun call him to remind until a friend told me after the wedding dinner...hahaha

This is the problem....

[FL Lover]

There is a saying.....

Get girlfriend must get pretty, sexy and horny type... BUT

GET WIFE MUST GET THOSE MATURE THINKING, RESPONSIBLE AND ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF FAMILY TYPE...

We always think that local gers cannot make it in these areas and tends to look for overseas gers .... But then sometimes when I compare my friends - those who married local and overseas, many tends to have more problems with overseas gers than local ones. It is true that overseas gers are more caring, put your ego on top of everything but there are always 2 sides - bad and good. Bad points is that you have to feed the entire family and if you are earning peanuts, you will forever have never ending demands on $$ issue like some of my friends and most of the times, she is dependent on you to bring the $$ home.

So dont always think that the GRASS IS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE.

Look, Open your eyes, think with your big head carefully before you commit yourself. Once you signed on the dotted line, all will be different.
