EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW TO BUY PROPERTY
IN HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM

Can I sign the documents remotely or do I need to travel to Vietnam?

You need to travel to Vietnam at least once, at least half a day, as you need to prove that you can enter Vietnam legally (valid visa or resident card).

However, you can travel to Vietnam first, and make a purchase decision later.

The rest can be done remotely, via a notarized authorization, including the signing of the contract.

We will assist you to complete every step and provide you with detailed guidelines so that you can plan accordingly.

Does the law authorize foreigners to buy property legally in Vietnam?

The Housing Law (Housing Law No. 65/2014/QH13), which came into effect on July 1, 2015, allows foreigners to purchase real estate in Vietnam, and the only condition is to enter Vietnam legally (the arrival stamp on the passport).

However, the law sets a quota for apartments purchased by foreign owners (30% per building), and foreigners can own properties for up to 50 years (renewable).

Other than the above limitations, foreigners enjoy the same rights as Vietnamese citizens to lease, transfer or resell a property.

Some essential steps require assistance though: due diligence of the property, preparation of mandatory documents for the buyer and seller (identity card / passport, invoices, sales contract, handover record…), signing the deposit agreement, and reviewing the contract or Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA) in Vietnamese and English.
