Your first month in Da Nang, in six steps
Do these in order and the rest of the city gets easy. Each step links to the full guide when you want the detail.
01
Sort your visa
The 90-day eVisa is the standard route for medium-term stays. Apply before you fly and keep a copy on your phone.
Visa guide →02
Book two weeks, not six months
Land somewhere in My An / An Thuong short-term, then look at apartments in person. Photos undersell and oversell in equal measure.
Where to stay →03
Get connected
An eSIM or local SIM at the airport takes minutes and makes everything else — Grab, maps, payments — work.
SIM & eSIM →04
Set up money
Know which ATMs to use, how QR payments work and what to expect on fees before your first week of spending.
Money & payments →05
Find your desk
Trial two or three coworking spaces before committing to a month. Some run 24 hours; others suit early calls.
Coworking →06
Show up once
Pick one weekly event in your first week. The community is small enough that one appearance changes your whole stay.

A note on accuracy
We'd rather say 'check this' than guess
Prices, visa rules and opening hours in Vietnam change often. Anything we can't verify is flagged instead of filled in.
