Vietnam’s real estate market is becoming an attractive destination for foreign investors, especially in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Da Nang, and coastal resorts. However, to make successful and legal transactions, foreigners need the support of professional consulting units that understand the law, planning, and market practices.
Legal regulations foreigners need to know
According to the 2013 Land Law, foreigners are not allowed to own land use rights in Vietnam.
According to the 2014 Housing Law – Article 159, foreigners are allowed to own houses (apartments or private houses in commercial projects) for a maximum period of 50 years, with the possibility of extension.
Foreigners are only allowed to own houses in areas that are not in the defense – security zone, and there is a limit on the ownership ratio in each project.
