Visa Overview
Vietnam doesn't have a formal nomad visa yet, but the 90-day E-visa is widely used by nomads who 'border run.' It's the cheapest place to live on this list with the best food in the world.
Pet Entry & Rules
Fairly easy to bring pets in, but pet culture in Vietnam is different—dogs are often seen as guards rather than family. Finding pet-friendly luxury condos in Da Nang is easy.
Tax Residency
Technically, you become a tax resident at 183 days, but since most people leave every 90 days to renew their E-visa, they stay out of the tax system.
