𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐑𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐕𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐧𝐚𝐦: 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐔𝐩 𝐭𝐨 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐞?

Vietnam's new 𝐋𝐚𝐰 𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 (𝐍𝐨. 𝟏𝟒𝟑/𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓/𝐐𝐇𝟏𝟓) is now in effect (since December 2025), bringing significant changes that foreign investors and businesses should be aware of.

In our latest overview, we explain key updates, including:

✔️ How foreign investors can establish a company and obtain an Enterprise Registration Certificate (𝐄𝐑𝐂) before the Investment Registration Certificate (𝐈𝐑𝐂) and the legal considerations involved.

✔️ Why nominee (or "shadow") ownership arrangements now carry significantly higher legal risks, including potential court-ordered dissolution and asset loss.

✔️ Why foreign legal representatives and directors should obtain a 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐕𝐍𝐞𝐈𝐃 for compliance with Vietnam's digital administrative system.

✔️ The legal consequences of leaving a company inactive or with outstanding obligations in Vietnam.

📄 Download our 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐏𝐃𝐅 overview (at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sYBBWZcVwHD0RXN7cnQEOFRtfVjKyXfx/view?usp=sharing) to understand what these changes mean for your business and how to stay compliant:

Instead of manually calculating tax, many online PIT calculator tools can help you estimate:
✔️ PIT payable
✔️ Estimated take-home salary (net income)
✔️ Salary breakdown after deductions

Some commonly used tools include:
• TopCV Salary & PIT Calculator
• MISA meInvoice PIT Calculator
• BetterHR Vietnam PIT Calculator

𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐕𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐧𝐚𝐦:
If you are a tax resident, you can generally use the same PIT calculators as Vietnamese residents, as the PIT system is applied similarly. If you are a non-tax resident, tax may be calculated differently (typically a flat 20% rate), so always check whether the tool matches your situation.

📌 𝐈𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭, 𝐰𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐈𝐒𝐀 𝐦𝐞𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐈𝐓 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 (post photo).

Most tools are quite simple to use — just follow the instructions and fill in the required fields, such as:
• Salary (Gross or Net)
• Insurance-related information (if applicable)
• Number of dependents
• Region or other required details

The calculator will then estimate your PIT automatically.

Some tools also include 𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, such as:
🔹 Net salary estimation
🔹 Annual PIT refund estimation
🔹 Salary breakdown and deductions

𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐠𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Tax residents in Vietnam (with 𝐕𝐍𝐞𝐈𝐃, where applicable) may also use the 𝐞𝐓𝐚𝐱 𝐌𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐞 app to look up official tax information and, when needed, access tax-related records, declarations, or payments. As this is an official government platform, information is generally more accurate and up to date. However, the app is currently available only in Vietnamese and may feel less user-friendly for some users, so it is worth considering based on your needs.

💡 𝐓𝐢𝐩: Follow the instructions shown in the calculator carefully and double-check that the tool is updated with the latest regulations for the most reliable estimate.

Understanding how your income is taxed is essential—but it’s not always straightforward.

Are you a 𝐭𝐚𝐱 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 or 𝐧𝐨𝐧-𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭?
Why do two people with the same salary pay different tax?
And how much do you actually take home after PIT?

Our latest Insight Hub article breaks it down in a clear, practical way, including:
✔️ Residency rules and tax rates
✔️ Real salary examples with actual numbers
✔️ How to estimate your net income
✔️ Key tips to stay compliant and avoid surprises

Many foreigners living or investing in Vietnam wonder: Can I legally own a house or even a car here? The answer is 𝐲𝐞𝐬, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.

Foreigners may own apartments or houses within approved commercial housing projects, subject to limits such as the 30% cap per condominium building and a typical ownership term of up to 50 years.

Foreign residents may also own and register vehicles in Vietnam if they hold a valid Temporary or Permanent Residence Card.

Understanding these regulations is essential before making any purchase.

• Who is eligible to own property
• What foreigners can and cannot buy
• Ownership limits and duration

📝Applying for a 𝑽𝒊𝒆𝒕𝒏𝒂𝒎 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒎𝒊𝒕?
A 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞 is mandatory, but choosing the right hospital (and knowing the 𝐟𝐞𝐞) can be confusing.

If you’re planning to live here long-term — or already in Vietnam and looking for stability — the biggest question is always:

“𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐨 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐣𝐨𝐛 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬?”

It’s a common concern. Many newcomers spend months browsing random posts, applying through the wrong channels, or relying on guesswork… and still feel unsure about what really works — or what can actually support a legal stay in Vietnam.

So we put together a practical guide based on the platforms and communities that expats actually use.

In the article, you’ll find:

✅The most reliable job websites for foreigners
✅Social-media groups where opportunities are shared daily
✅Other effective ways to find work you might not have considered

If your goal is a stable job — and a stable life — in Vietnam, this guide will help you know exactly where to look.

💡 𝗝𝗼𝗯 𝗢𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗻𝗮𝗺 – 𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴

If you’re a foreigner living in Vietnam (or planning to come) and teaching English isn’t the right fit, there are still plenty of opportunities to build a career here. However, what many people don’t realize is that not every job leads to a 𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆.

That’s why in this post, instead of only listing job titles, we focus on what really matters:
Which jobs are realistic to get, which ones can help you stay legally, and what you should keep in mind before applying.

📌 𝗔 𝗙𝗲𝘄 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀:

Many jobs are 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 (freelance, creative work, hospitality…), but they don’t offer work permits or TRCs. These can be good short-term solutions, but not sustainable if you plan to 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴-𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺.

Jobs at 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗻-𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆 with branches in Vietnam often provide better chances of legal employment and work permit sponsorship.

If you have savings or want more independence, 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 is also a valid path. Many expats choose this option to legally stay in Vietnam and apply for a 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗮 𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗱 (𝗧𝗥𝗖) without depending on an employer.

📲 In our next post, we’ll share something even more useful — 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝗯𝘀: websites, platforms, communities, and hiring networks for foreigners in Vietnam.

⚡️Good news for those working in Vietnam. Since August 7, 2025, obtaining a work permit (WP) has become easier.

⏱ 10 working days instead of 50 previously (if you have all documents prepared).

What changed:
1️⃣ The quota application process and the work permit issuance were merged, reducing the total review time.
2️⃣ The mandatory job posting period at the Employment Center was shortened from 15 to 5 days.

In addition, now:
✅ Work experience obtained in Vietnam can be used for WP application purposes.
✅ For senior positions in companies, it is no longer necessary to prove the candidate’s education level or work experience.
Other updates:
✅ The state authority responsible for issuing WPs has changed: previously MOLISA (Ministry of Labor), now MOHA (Ministry of Home Affairs of Vietnam).
✅ It is expected that medical certificates for WPs will soon be accepted not only from local but also from foreign clinics (not yet applicable!).
✅ A criminal record certificate is no longer required from the country of citizenship — it is sufficient to apply to the local police in Vietnam and obtain a certificate of no criminal record within Vietnam.
