Country overview
About Vietnam
For clients in Pakistan, Vietnam is an investor-residence corridor. The programme we brief is DT1–DT3 into a Vietnamese enterprise, then a TRC. The DT3 figure is at least VND 3 billion. Other DT bands follow live rules. We do not add US-dollar translations as extra thresholds.
DT4 does not get a TRC. Capital that only supports DT4 does not produce the residence product on this briefing. Relocate is yes. Forming the enterprise is not the TRC.
We coordinate licensing and licensed Vietnamese counsel. DT bands and TRC practice change.
Requirements are set by the host government and are verified with licensed counsel before engagement. Visas and TRCs are not guaranteed.
Who this is for
Designed for investors who can meet DT1–DT3 (DT3 at least VND 3 billion) into a Vietnamese enterprise. A poor fit if capital only reaches DT4, which does not get a TRC.
Timeline
Enterprise plus DT plus TRC is typically several months. Dates are not guaranteed.
Programme rules, fees, and capital thresholds are set by the host government and change. Figures on this page reflect our latest review and are verified with licensed counsel before engagement.
