One local point of contact for international residents, professionals and families in Ho Chi Minh City. Tell us what you need. We help arrange practical services, communicate locally and follow up, so you do not have to figure everything out yourself.
Our launch focus is home, moving, appointments, transport and sourcing. These guide our local coordination work. They are examples, not a fixed limit on what you can ask.
Something needs fixing at home. Ask us to find and coordinate the right local help.
One local point of contact when your new apartment needs several things arranged.
Help finding where to go, booking the appointment and communicating locally.
Coordination only. We do not provide medical, legal or immigration advice.
Coordinate the driver, pickup or delivery as part of your wider practical request.
Find local options, compare suppliers and coordinate an approved purchase and delivery.
Send a short message, photo or description.
We clarify the request, identify suitable options and explain the coordination fee and expected provider costs.
Agree the scope, costs and any significant booking or purchase before we proceed.
We help arrange timing, communicate with providers and keep you informed when something changes.
You pay for the time, local assistance and coordination involved — not just an introduction. We quote our service fee before work begins.
A fixed service fee for straightforward requests.
An upfront quote for research, sourcing and coordination.
An agreed project fee or retainer for multi-step or ongoing support.
Provider costs and purchases are normally separate from our coordination fee. You approve important costs before we commit. High-value purchases always need your approval. Urgent or after-hours requests may cost more; ask for the scope and quote first.
One-off tasks. No membership or retainer required.
Regular support with an agreed scope, fee and response arrangements.
We are building our provider network around the five launch areas. Ask what we can confirm about service fit, communication, pricing and relevant credentials before choosing an option.
We do not claim that every provider is fully vetted. Independent providers remain responsible for their technical and professional work.
The five launch areas are our focus, not a fixed menu. Send an early enquiry about an unusual request too. We will explain whether we can help and what needs your approval.
Before Saigon Desk, we built VietAssist — a platform connecting Vietnamese professionals with Western companies hiring remote talent, now a network of over 70,000 professionals and more than 4,000 Western companies. That work taught us exactly where things break down between Western expectations and how Vietnam actually operates.
Saigon Desk was created around a simple idea: living abroad shouldn't mean spending your time solving avoidable practical problems. The goal is to give clients one dependable local contact who takes ownership of those details and makes life in Saigon easier to manage.
Whether you're arriving for a multi-year executive assignment, running a regional venture, or raising a family across cultures, peace of mind comes from knowing someone competent — and proven — is just a message away.
Send an early enquiry about what you need. Bookings are not open yet. We will confirm availability, scope and fees before any work is agreed.
