Notes
Vietnam has no digital nomad visa. Remote workers use the electronic visa (thị thực điện tử). The Immigration Department issues it online to foreigners who are outside Vietnam, for a maximum of 90 days, single or multiple entry. The government fee is USD 25 for one entry and USD 50 for multiple entry. A visa for a person under 14 is USD 25 whatever the validity. The fee is paid on the portal and is not refunded if the visa is refused. The statutory processing time is 3 working days after a complete application and the fee. The passport must stay valid at least 30 days after the e-visa ends. Entry and exit are only through the international border gates the Government lists. An e-visa is not issued to someone already staying in Vietnam, and this visa is not renewable in country. A longer stay means leaving and applying again. Each person needs their own e-visa, except a child under 14 who travels on a parent or guardian's passport. It is not a work permit. The portal says a foreigner working in Vietnam must have a work permit or a confirmation that none is required, and must act in line with the purpose of entry. Remote work for a foreign employer is not an authorized purpose. There is no income test and no nomad tax regime. A resident, present for 183 days or more in a calendar year or in 12 consecutive months from the first day in Vietnam, or with a regular place of residence in Vietnam, is taxed on income arising inside and outside Vietnam. From the 2026 tax year, resident employment income is progressive at 5%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 35%. The UĐ1 and UĐ2 visas, in force from 1 July 2026, are sponsored preferential visas for high-quality digital-technology personnel and for a spouse and children under 18. They are not a self-sponsored remote-work route. A long-stay "golden visa" and a pilot for remote workers have been discussed and are not open programs.
