Hello everyone, this is my first post and i would like to introduce myself and hope you can help me answer some of my questions
I'm from Germany and will move to my girlfriend to Vietnam in the middle of October. Our plan is to open a café in Da Nang in a few months but i still have some problems to find a solution about visa and opening a business in Vietnam.
I have a 3-month visa at the moment but would like to get a working permit or a permanent resident visa for some years or more, so I don't have to make these visa runs and are allowed to work. I think I can't get a normal working permit because I'm from the IT-Sector but I heard that if you invest a 'significant amount of money' in a business and become the owner from it, you are able to get a resident visa for some years.
But what is a significant amount of money and has anybody more information or experience with it?
And it would be nice if someone can help me to find accurate sites about opening a business (taxes, law, fees, requirements,...) in Vietnam as a foreigner.
Hope you can help me with some needed information and thank you very much to the owner if this site (already got some helpful information) and of course, to anybody who can help me solve some of my questions.
