Before You Commit

What the brochures leave out. These are cross-checked against our full database, so a visa upside that a banking rule quietly cancels out shows up here — including Vietnam-wide issues that apply wherever you land.

Warning Visa No nomad visa, and worldwide taxation for residents

Vietnam has no dedicated digital nomad visa. Residents (183+ days) are taxed on worldwide income at 5-35%. Long-term nomads are in a genuine grey zone with no special regime to fall back on. Documentation also requires certified Vietnamese translation.
