Vietnam introduces new long-term visa programs for investors and digital nomads

Vietnam has updated its visa policy to attract foreign investors, specialists, and wealthy citizens. The new long-term visa programs are aimed at those who are ready to make a significant contribution to the country's economic, cultural, and technological development.

Among the new offers is a “Golden Visa” valid for 5 to 10 years with the possibility of extension, intended for those who plan to stay for a long time or contribute to the development of tourism and the country's economy. A 10-year visa for investors has also been introduced, with a simplified procedure for obtaining a residence permit after five years. For talented specialists, including professionals, artists, and digital nomads, there is a 5-year visa with an easy renewal procedure.

Applications for new visas can be submitted entirely online without the need to visit the consulate. The rules for obtaining short-term tourist and business visas have also been simplified—the process has become faster and more accessible thanks to digital technologies.

This step demonstrates Vietnam's desire to become more attractive and competitive on the international stage, creating conditions for attracting talent and investment, as well as developing business and innovation in the country.
