Quite noisily, Vietnam threw the ball into the inner court on the global stage with the all-new Vietnam Golden Visa to attract global talents and investments, focusing on Indian nationals more than any other country. The launched 10-year visa program is about foreign entrepreneurs, professionals with skills, digital nomads, retirees, and long-term visitors introduced in May 2025 to encourage them to find a stable base rich with opportunities across Southeast Asia.
For Indians, the Vietnam Golden Visa is an exclusive opportunity to sustain long-term residency and exercise professional freedom. It saves Indians from constantly having to renew their applications as they need to renew visas that are valid for up to 10 years easily. The enticing features of Vietnam for Indians who want to set up businesses, work remotely, or retire comfortably include the economic growth potential, affordability of living in Vietnam, and cultural magnetism.
The three major areas of the Golden Visa scheme are as follows:
1. Investor Visa: Intended for people who want to invest capital in the Vietnamese industry. Certain key industries include the information sector, renewable energy, manufacturing, and textiles, with Indian investors already showing a significant interest in these areas.
2. Talent Visa: A visa for professionals in fields such as technology, healthcare, finance, and education. Given the fast expansion of Vietnam’s economy in terms of digital and service, Indian IT and financial experts are in high demand.
3. Golden Visa for Long-Term Tourists and Retirees: This visa applies to people who wish to stay longer for lifestyle purposes. With a warm climate, coastal cities, and a rich cultural heritage, Vietnam is becoming increasingly popular among Indian retirees and slow travelers.
Another great advantage offered by the Vietnam Golden Visa is a hassle-free application. The government has promised that the complete application will be entirely digital, thus making it very easy to apply for Indian applicants, without having to visit any embassy. With the visas’ dependents, families can migrate together into the country to enjoy Vietnam’s healthcare, education, and other public services.

During the initial roll-out of the Golden Visa scheme, it will mainly be targeted at major hubs like Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Da Nang, and the increasingly popular island destination of Phu Quoc.
