    Hi,

    I'm Irish but living in Vietnam for past 6 years. I work there and pay tax there. I have an Irish AIB account in Galway.
    I have saved about 70K (in local currency, Vietnam Dong) working here. It's time to get that money somewhere safer than the banking system in Vietnam; in the long run, it's not safe and inflation is a worry. I plan to stay in Vietnam for the time being.

    What I'm thinking is to send the money back to my irish bank account and then invest it longterm using Degiro in broad-based passive ETFs.

    I would like to minimize my tax burden. Can you advise me? I need to know if I should invest in irish-domiciled ETFs or otherwise. There are many things to consider. I hope you can point me in the right direction.

    I've got the same question but not living anywhere as awesome as Vietnam. Did you get any good advice and do you have to pay tax twice on earnings? Thanks
