immigration residency requires_professional_advice

Two distinct tourist lanes, an employer-sponsored work-permit-plus-TRC path capped at 2 years, and a narrow, largely marriage-sponsored PRC pathway are source-landed and separated from tax residence and entity exposure; no specific lane is selected.

  • Tourist admission confirmed
    Dutch passport holders get a 45-day visa exemption for tourism only under a time-boxed programme (Resolution 229/NQ-CP, 2025-08-15 through 2028-08-14), or a 90-day e-visa (single/multiple entry, USD 25/50) via the official e-visa portal; neither authorises paid work.
  • Residence categories requires_professional_advice
    Employer-sponsored work permit plus Temporary Residence Card (max 2 years, invalid on employer change) is the documented lane; permanent residence (PRC) is narrow, primarily marriage-sponsored; the applicable lane and its conditions are not settled here.
  • Admission / stay lane requires_professional_advice
    Tourist exemption, e-visa, and the work-permit/TRC lane are landed, but no Vietnam lane is selected for execution.
  • Remote-work permission requires_professional_advice
    Vietnam has no confirmed digital-nomad-style visa authorising remote work for foreign clients (unlike Colombia's Digital Nomad V-visa); tourist/e-visa status confers no work authorisation of any kind, and remote work performed while on a tourist/e-visa basis sits in an unconfirmed grey area, not a documented permission.
