Everything digital nomads need to know about visas, entry requirements, and long-stay options for Vietnam.
US passport holders can enter Vietnam with a e-visa.
Apply online before your trip. Processing typically takes 3-5 business days. Print your e-visa approval letter and present it at immigration.
Vietnam does not currently offer a dedicated digital nomad visa. However, you can still work remotely on a tourist visa (while technically a gray area in many countries). Consider these alternatives:
Technically, tourist visas are for tourism, not work. However, many digital nomads work remotely on tourist visas since they are not employed by a local company or earning local income. The enforcement varies by country. Check Vietnam's specific policies.
On a e-visa, US passport holders can stay up to varies days. Extensions may be available at local immigration offices.
Tax obligations depend on your duration of stay, visa type, and home country tax treaties. Generally, if you stay less than 183 days and are not employed locally, you are unlikely to owe local taxes. However, consult a tax professional for your specific situation.
