Capital contribution of VND 3 billion gives the lowest investor class with residence (DT3), a temporary residence card of up to 3 years (Law 47/2014 as amended by Law 51/2019, from 1 Jul 2020). VND 50 billion gives up to 5 years (t-4090bc35ce) and VND 100 billion up to 10 years (t-d01a79044e). Below VND 3 billion investors get a visa only. No route to permanent residence through investment.
Notes from the research
Since 1 Jul 2020 (Law 51/2019/QH14) foreign investors are classed by capital contributed: ĐT1 VND 100 billion or more (or priority sectors/areas set by the Government) with a temporary residence card of up to 10 years; ĐT2 VND 50-100 billion (or encouraged sectors) up to 5 years; ĐT3 VND 3-50 billion up to 3 years; ĐT4 under VND 3 billion (visa only, no minimum). Before, Law 47/2014/QH13 (in force 1 Jan 2015, legal_basis) had a single investor visa class without amounts (original text not stored; stated in the consolidated text's footnotes only as the amended items). Included under decision 15 as business residence with stated minimum amounts; ĐT4 has none. No route to permanent residence through investment in this law. No official counts by class found.
