Absolutely ignore the first piece of advice. Opening an account here and getting it to work is the stuff of nightmares. You can use an ordinary Visa card here to withdraw from you account at home. From ATMs here VND is the only currency available. Make sure you know what the costs of using your card are before you leave home - ask your banking organisation what the charges are. It will cost 20,000 VND (just under $1) for each ATM use in VN and this amount is added to the amount of your withdrawal.Can't make a lot of sense of notes 2 to 7 and I am having mild hysterics trying to imagine advice number 8.
