TL;DR
Based on participants' experience in 2026, finding a job quickly in Da Nang as a Russian-speaking specialist is not easy. In September a beauty specialist with more than 20 years of experience wrote that she could not find work: the city has four Russian-speaking salons, and all are fully staffed. Remote work for Russia-based companies from Vietnam is also hard — in autumn 2026 participants said such employers often turn down people living outside the country.
Remote work for Russia-based companies is not an easy route either. In autumn 2026 a developer who had recently moved to Da Nang wrote that every company was turning him down because he lives outside the country; another participant said that, in their experience, such employers usually allow work only from within Russia. One participant said he has worked for a Russia-based company from abroad for a year, but only after four years of remote work for them while still living in Russia, and his employer is supportive.
Finding work quickly in beauty services may be difficult: an experienced specialist reported that Russian-speaking salons are already fully staffed. Four such salons were mentioned, each with locations in central and northern Da Nang.
In August 2026 a participant passed on a rumor from YouTube: supposedly some people in the beauty industry report competitors to the authorities, who then get deported. It is an unverified rumor, but it shows that working without proper paperwork carries risk.
In July 2026 the discussion included a warning to those who planned to work in the beauty industry for Russian-speaking clients off the books, without legal registration.
