🇻🇳 Vietnam
No dedicated nomad visa yet, but rock-bottom costs and a booming café-coworking scene make Ho Chi Minh City one of the fastest-growing nomad bases in the region.
Vietnam in short
We cover 3 cities in Vietnam. A mid-range solo month runs from about $850 in Hanoi to about $1,050 in Da Nang (our planning estimates, method). No remote-work scheme for Vietnam is in the audited visa tracker yet, so plan around the ordinary visitor rules and check them with the official immigration authority before you book.
