International Ladies of Vietnam
Ho Chi Minh City WELCOMES YOU!


International Ladies Vietnam (ILV) is a social organization for international women living in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC)  We have been successful in providing an immediate network of contacts for newcomers which ultimately fosters international friendships and social contacts.  Currently, ILV has a membership of approximately 400 women from 50 nations. These ladies enjoy a chance to socialize at our weekly coffees and participate in the many cultural, social and sporting activities offered. 

We extend a warm invitation to join us at the Rex Hotel at 10:00 a.m. every Thursday for our weekly coffee morning.   In addition, we have an Evening ILV that meets once a month.   Membership available to ladies of all nationalities and renewable yearly during coffee mornings or Evening ILV.   With your paid membership, you will enjoy a welcome pack, Saigon Guide, informational Guest  Speakers, Cookbook, Restaurant Guide, Monthly Newsletter, ILV Library where members can check out books for free, outing
s, activities and many more wonderful things. 

If you are new to Vietnam, we encourage you to browse our website and contact us so we can welcome you and answer  any questions you may have.  We would like to offer a "link lady" to anyone who is coming to Vietnam.  Link Ladies are  selected by matching common areas of interest and/or backgrounds.  Your Link Lady will greet you at your first ILV meeting and offer one-to-one correspondence and guidance during your transition. 

International Ladies in Vietnam is a growing, dynamic, fun and active group!  We hope you will join us on our adventure and continue to grow new friendships and skills!   Hope you enjoy our slide show below!  We would love to hear from you with photos and stories of travel in Vietnam!
