What makes Vietnam stand out?
Vietnam is the fastest-growing major economy in Southeast Asia, and at the same time one of the most affordable countries in the world to live in. People who live here do not live cheaply because they are missing out on something. They live cheaply because everything is available, just at different prices. That is the difference. And the Vietnamese people themselves? One of the most ambitious, warm and hospitable populations in Asia.
Economy & Dynamism
Vietnam's GDP has grown by an average of 6–7% annually for 20 years, even during global crises. The country has transformed from a planned economy into one of Southeast Asia's most dynamic exporters. Ho Chi Minh City feels like Bangkok 15 years ago, with everything that implies: opportunity, energy, momentum.
Landscape & Diversity
Vietnam stretches 1,650 km and offers geographic diversity that is hard to believe: rice terraces in Sapa, karst mountains in Halong Bay (UNESCO), beach and diving paradise in Phu Quoc, colonial charm in Hoi An, vibrant city life in Hanoi and Saigon.
Cuisine & Everyday Life
Vietnamese cuisine is considered one of the healthiest and most diverse in the world. A complete lunch costs between 1.50 and 4 euros. World-class coffee culture, Vietnam is the second-largest coffee producer in the world, and you taste it every day.
Remote Work & Expat Life
Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang are among the most affordable and fastest-growing remote work cities worldwide. Da Nang offers beaches, mountains, fast internet and an active expat community, at rental prices that would barely cover a room in Vienna.
