Vietnam Considers Introducing Golden Visa to Attract Global Talent and Wealth
- Author: MARKETING lúc
- NEWS & CASE STUDIES
In a bold move to boost foreign investment and attract global talent, Vietnam is proposing the introduction of a “Golden Visa” program – a long-term residence permit for high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, skilled professionals, and investors.
1. What is the Vietnam Golden Visa?
The proposed Vietnam Golden Visa would grant a long-term stay (possibly up to 10 years) to foreigners who meet certain investment, professional, or wealth criteria. Similar schemes are already in place in countries like the UAE, Singapore, Portugal, and Thailand, and have proven effective in attracting global capital and human resources.
According to the Ministry of Public Security’s recent draft proposal, the Golden Visa would be designed for:
Foreign investors with large capital contributions
Skilled professionals in high-tech industries, education, healthcare, and research
Executives and entrepreneurs who establish businesses and generate employment
Ultra-high-net-worth individuals seeking long-term residence or retirement options
2. Why is Vietnam Considering This?
As Vietnam continues its rapid economic transformation, attracting international talent and capital is key to maintaining its growth momentum. Policymakers are increasingly aware that:
Vietnam lacks a clear, long-term visa route for foreign talent
Existing visas often impose short durations or complex renewal procedures
Neighboring countries have more appealing visa regimes for entrepreneurs and investors
By issuing a Golden Visa, Vietnam hopes to enhance its competitiveness, retain global expertise, and encourage international entrepreneurs to build long-term roots in the country.
3. Key Features Being Proposed
While the policy is still under discussion, key features may include:
5–10 year residency duration
Renewable visa tied to investment or professional contribution
Fast-track application process
Eligibility for family members (spouse and children)
More details, including the minimum investment threshold and targeted sectors, are expected once the official decree is finalized.
4. Potential Impact on Vietnam’s Economy
If implemented, the Golden Visa could:
Boost real estate, tech startups, and high-end services
Attract strategic foreign investment beyond short-term capital flows
Build Vietnam’s reputation as a global talent destination
Support innovation and R&D growth through skilled migrant contributions
This would also align with Vietnam’s broader efforts to move up the global value chain and develop a more knowledge-driven economy.
