🇻🇳 Vietnam
Vietnam permanent residence is available after continuous legal residence, typically through investor visa or TRC. Golden Visa holders (when launched) may apply after 5 years. Requirements include Vietnamese language proficiency, clean record, and demonstrated ties to Vietnam. Path to citizenship requires 5+ years of permanent residence, Vietnamese language fluency, and renunciation of other citizenships (Vietnam does not allow dual nationality). The process is complex and rarely pursued by foreigners—most opt to maintain long-term TRC status instead. Processing can take 1-2 years with significant documentation requirements.
