It is indeed true that matchmaking is illegal in Vietnam now. But most matchmaking agencies are surpassing this ban by going underground, i.e they claim that the individuals got to know each other. this is one trade that is difficult to get rid of all together. Vietnamese in vietnam dependence on remittance from overseas vietnamese is so high that we are looking at around US$3 billion is being remitted back to vietnam each year. So such big amount of money at stake, do you think hanoi will impose a total crackdown?
As for Singapore side, it has become a norm that Singaporean man and woman are marrying foreigners. Singapore man go for Chinese and Vietnamese woman while Singaporean woman go for the SWM. This is a social trend that is unstoppable. For singaporean man who has a proper job and steady income, getting PR for the foreign spouse will not be much problem under normal circumstances. Your children will also be entitled to Singapore citizenship and the baby bonus and education co-savings. At the same time, you will get a $10,000 income tax rebate, which translate to no personal income tax payment for at least 5 years.
But my wife personally experience some sort of discrmination at ICA last week when we went for citizenship application. The lady officer conducting the first interview was quite fierce to my wife when she was with my wife alone in the room. My wife claim that once i went into the room, the attitude of the officer changed to become polite.
For those reading this thread or for ladies samsters, Vietnamese Spouse are not inferior and Singaporean man marrying vietnamese spouse are not always individuals with low education and low pay. Many Singaporean man who holds degree or post graduate degrees and earn 5 digit income monthly are also with Vietnamese spouse.
