As a foreginer, can I buy the property in Vietnam and run business there?

No trackbacks.

Of course you can. It depends on which one you are going to buy. Appartment, flat built by many foreigner are availeable a lot.

Is it possible to buy a property in Vietnam through an offshore company?

If the property is subsequently sold can the money proceeds be taken out of Vietnam?

Reply #3 Ally (86.140.37.21) -

You can buy a 50 year land lease and build your own property ... things may change in the future where non-viets are able to buy property there.

Dear sir

do you sell hotel or guest house or resort in Vietnam?

Reply #5 Hans (203.162.3.152) -

The answer is NO! But, it is possible to lease appartments, condos long term (30 years).

The situation is slightly different for Foreign Invested Companies and in Industrial Parks.

The situation may change over time as evrything changes here, however it is unlikely that foreigners will be allowed to buy and sell real estate anytime soon

I want to buy a pub in Saigon. How do I go about doing that. I am in australia

Reply #7 Tanya Wong (211.31.19.192) -

I am interested in buying an investment property in Saigon and rent it out to businesses.

Please kindly advise the following:

1- Since I am an australian citizen of vietnamese origin, can I buy the property and have the ownership transferred into my name?

2- Am I allowed to rent it out? If so, what is the percentage of tax I have to pay?

3- When I want to resell the property, am I allow to take the money out of VN?

4- Which organisation do I have to contact in order to find out more details about the current ownership policy of the government?

Thanks

Hello Everyone!

I am a British English teacher living in Vietnam. I'm going to get married to a Vietnamese girl next year. I would like to know if I can buy property here and if I can get a mortgage or bank loan from a Vietnamese bank.

Any information or ideas on where to look for it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi Everyone,

My wife and and I are planning to retire in Vietnam.

We Have built 2 homes there already. We are both American Citizens. My family are all in the United States but my wife's relative are still in Vietnam.

I'm looking to start a small American expatriate community.

We've have been traveling back to Vietnam since 1992.

Our country home is about 3000 sq.ft. in the Ba Ria/Vung Tau resort area. An american built, world class casino resort will be open in 2010. This resort will consist of 5 Vegas style casinos and a 200 acres Greg Norman designed golf course. This resort will be 26 miles from our home.

27 miles to the North East toward Saigon (Ho Chi Minh) there will also be a new international airport to be built by 2010.

I'm trying to see how many people are interested.

I am foreigner want buy home land in vietnam. Can I buy home there. How much for size 20 m X 40 m

Robert, #18;

I certainly am interested in an expat community in Vietnam. I don't think I am very interested in the high prices that will result from being close to a major casino area. I'm American, retired from the U.S. Army, been living in Thailand for 12 years but just about tired of it. Of concern is cost of land and construction, long term visa availability, possibility of ownership, availability of rentals; to start.

Hi, My name;s Robert. I am Australian but hold dual UK passport

as well. I am moving to Hanoi and daughter. We lived in 2001 in Hanoi and my daughter was born there but holds Australian citizenship. I would like to retire to Vietnam and buy property in Hanoi. I heard the Vietnamese govt was relaxing the rule in August for foreigners to buy land and property?

Is this true or just another rumour.?

I would like to invest in a small cafe or business in Hanoi any ideas?

Thnaks

Robert
