Digital Nomad Vietnam: Visa, Business Setup & Local Support
Make Vietnam your base with greater clarity over visas, residency, business setup, tax, banking and the practical requirements of living and working remotely.
AXIS provides one point of local coordination for digital nomads, remote professionals and online entrepreneurs considering Vietnam as a temporary or longer-term base — connecting immigration, business, financial and operational requirements through selected local expertise.
WHY VIETNAM FOR DIGITAL NOMADS?
Vietnam has become an increasingly attractive base for international remote professionals and entrepreneurs, combining competitive living costs, strong digital connectivity and dynamic cities such as Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City.
However, Vietnam currently has no dedicated Digital Nomad Visa. Remote professionals considering a longer stay therefore need to understand the immigration, tax, business and residency implications of their individual situation before deciding how to structure their time in the country.
Remote-Work Lifestyle
Strong connectivity, coworking environments and an established international community.
Competitive Cost Base
An attractive operating and living environment for independent professionals and online entrepreneurs.
Da Nang & Ho Chi Minh City
Two very different bases combining international communities, connectivity and access to business infrastructure. Da Nang in particular has developed into a notable remote-work hub.
Southeast Asia Access
A strategic location for professionals and entrepreneurs operating across Asian and international markets.
WHAT DO YOU NEED?
Every digital nomad has a different situation.
A freelancer staying for several months, a remote employee, an online business owner and an entrepreneur planning to establish a company in Vietnam may require very different solutions.
AXIS coordinates the appropriate local expertise according to how you work, how long you plan to stay and whether Vietnam will be a temporary base or part of a longer-term business strategy.
Understand the available entry and immigration routes according to your circumstances and intended length of stay.
Access specialist advice to understand potential tax-residency implications and obligations associated with longer stays.
Evaluate whether establishing a business in Vietnam makes sense for your professional activity and longer-term plans.
Coordinate access to relevant banking and financial requirements where applicable.
Access appropriate corporate address, virtual office, coworking or meeting solutions according to your business needs.
Connect with selected providers for insurance and other practical requirements associated with establishing Vietnam as your base.
Living Remotely in Vietnam Is More Than Choosing a City
A successful move to Vietnam requires more than accommodation, Wi-Fi and a coworking space.
Your immigration status, length of stay, source of income, employment situation and business activities can affect which solutions are appropriate. For remote professionals planning to use Vietnam as a longer-term base, understanding these requirements early can reduce uncertainty and avoid unnecessary administrative or financial complications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Vietnam have a Digital Nomad Visa?
Vietnam does not currently offer a dedicated visa category specifically for digital nomads. The appropriate immigration option depends on your nationality, intended length of stay, professional circumstances and activities in Vietnam.
Can I work remotely from Vietnam?
The appropriate immigration, tax and potentially work-authorisation considerations depend on how you work, who you work for, your length of stay and whether you conduct business activities in Vietnam. Your individual circumstances should therefore be assessed before planning a longer-term stay.
Do digital nomads pay tax in Vietnam?
Tax obligations depend on factors including tax residency, length of stay, income sources and individual circumstances. AXIS can coordinate access to qualified tax specialists to assess your situation.
Can I open a bank account in Vietnam as a foreigner?
Banking eligibility and documentation requirements depend on your immigration and residency status and individual circumstances. AXIS can coordinate the relevant local banking requirements where applicable.

Foreign entrepreneurs can establish companies in Vietnam subject to applicable investment, ownership, licensing and regulatory requirements. Whether this makes sense depends on your business model and longer-term objectives.
