200,000 foreigners already live in Vietnam long-term. Sounds like a solid number—until you realize Thailand has over 1 million. Vietnam is like a hidden gem of a café serving legendary phở… but the doorman keeps misplacing the key. People are lined up, eager to get in, but the wait? Absolutely brutal.

That might finally be about to change. Vietnam’s Prime Minister just dropped a game-changing directive—a proposal that could introduce Vietnam’s very own Golden Visa. Yes, the kind of streamlined, investment-based residency program that could transform Vietnam into a top-tier destination for expats, retirees, investors, and anyone dreaming of doing business in Vietnam.

Let’s be real—people want to live in Vietnam. From its low cost of living and vibrant culture to its growing startup scene, the demand has always been there. But the path to legal, long-term residency? An uphill climb. That could be ancient history soon.

Today, we’re diving into this big development: Is Vietnam finally rolling out a Golden Visa? Why now? What will it mean for people looking to invest, retire, or build businesses in Vietnam? This could change everything. Let’s get into it.
