🇻🇳 Vietnam · Housing
Renting and buying property in Vietnam — typical rents, deposits, contracts, and official tenancy rules.
Vietnam housing for foreigners is mostly rental-led, with limited ownership rights for eligible foreign individuals and organisations in commercial housing projects rather than broad land ownership.
- Foreign individuals allowed to enter Vietnam can own certain commercial housing, but ownership terms and defence/security area exclusions apply.
- Foreign-invested companies usually access land through allocation, lease, sublease or project-specific arrangements, not freehold land ownership.
- For residence or banking, confirm whether a lease contract, address registration or landlord document is required.
Official authorities
- Foreign Investment Agency — land lease and acquisition
