Auswanderer packt über das Leben in Da Nang aus! (So ist es WIRKLICH)

We interview Andre Gentzsch, the General Manager of the Furama Resort in Da Nang! The Swiss hotel director previously worked for Hilton and Four Seasons and has lived in Vietnam for 10 years. Andre Gentzsch reveals the hard truth about working abroad and retiring in Vietnam: Career Path: How does one go from math student to GM of a luxury resort? (The role of his father and lessons learned at hotel management school). The Visa Drama: He reveals the new, stringent requirements for manager visas and the trap of company-provided health insurance, which backfires in retirement. Working as an Expat: How does one navigate the tightrope walk between German work ethic and Vietnamese culture? (Lessons from Morocco). The Future of Expats: Why Vietnam doesn't offer retirement visas, the opportunities for investors (small, independent shops), and why Vietnam will soon no longer need us as skilled workers. Luxury tip: The Furama Villas (with a day pass and pool access for 450,000 VND as a loan!) and the four new restaurants. This interview is a must-read for anyone planning to emigrate as an employee or who wants to know the truth about retiring abroad.
