📝 NOTES
No dedicated digital nomad visa. Remote workers use 90-day multiple-entry e-visa ($50) and do quarterly "visa runs" to neighboring countries. Working remotely on e-visa is in a legal gray area — not explicitly authorized but widely tolerated. If present 183+ days in any 12-month period, become Vietnamese tax resident (progressive rates 5-35%). A "Golden Visa" has been proposed but remains unenacted.
