Vietnam latest news - Thanh Nien Daily

Bit of a confused article but..


Expats applaud would-be law allowing them to buy housing in Vietnam

SIX CATEGORIES OF FOREIGNERS ELIGIBLE TO BUY HOUSES IN VIETNAM

■ People coming to Vietnam for direct investments.
■ People who have contributed to Vietnam and have been honored by ministries or higher-ranked agencies.
■ Cultural and scientific experts.
■ People married to Vietnamese citizens and living in Vietnam.
■ Honorary citizens.
■ Foreign-invested enterprises not operating in the property sector.

Not sure how much you can believe the article.

He said foreigners were able to buy and sell houses freely in many countries like Thailand, Malaysia, the US, and Britain and these markets were performing well and efficiently.

But could be interesting. What are the most popular areas with expats (aside from the two big cities)?

I know I said the writing was a bit garbled.. EG this seems a bit counter intuitive.

Tom Miller, an American attorney with Miller & Ngo, said it was anyway hard to stop foreign buyers from buying for commercial purposes, and controlling it just opened up more possibilities for corruption.

Its been reported in other links too..

Worth checking out. Only problem (seems to be common) is from what I understand is Vietnam is very boring compared with these parts. Still worth checking out.

If you can handle that...............Well, worth a visit!
