Renewable 5-year visa for foreign investors contributing at least 100 billion VND to Vietnam, with work permit exemption for owners and board members.
The ĐT1 Investor Visa is Vietnam's major investment pathway for foreign investors committing at least 100 billion VND, established under the 2014 Law on Entry, Exit, Transit, and Residence of Foreigners (amended 2019). It targets executives and stakeholders seeking long-term residency to oversee capital deployment in manufacturing, technology, or infrastructure.
The visa is valid for up to 5 years and holders are qualifying for a Temporary Residence Card extending to 10 years. Processing typically takes 5–7 working days. Dependents are allowed; spouses cannot work independently but investors are exempt from work permit requirements. A pathway to permanent residency exists for qualified holders who maintain their investment status.
This visa is ideal for multinational executives, major shareholders, and legal representatives of foreign organizations who can commit substantial capital and oversee long-term operations in priority sectors.
