🇻🇳 Vietnam · Permanent Residency
Permanent residency and golden-visa paths: eligibility, required years, investment thresholds, and official checklists.
Vietnam has permanent residence cards, but the route is narrow. Most foreign residents use temporary residence cards or visa categories tied to work, investment, family or study.
- Older official legal text lists permanent residence consideration for contributors and spouses, children or parents of Vietnamese citizens residing in Vietnam.
- Permanent residents must hold a permanent residence card and comply with reporting rules.
- Do not treat Vietnam PR as a broad points-based or investor-open route; verify eligibility with immigration authorities.
