rootviet is the advisory arm of VN Đông Co., Ltd., a Vietnamese company based in Nha Trang. We guide foreigners through the legal route to living here: work permit, temporary residence card, and taking part in a Vietnamese business from 425,000,000 VND. The first step is a consultation.
Consultation fee 13,000,000 VND, credited back in full when you sign a contract with us.
Two numbers, no small print. Everything else — the business plan, the assets, the paperwork timeline — we go through with you in person.
Participation means taking part in a Vietnamese business under a bilingual contract, with VN Đông Co., Ltd. as your partner. Specific figures, assets and terms are presented only in consultation, after a confidentiality agreement. All prices are listed in VND. For reference, 1 USD ≈ 25,750 VND; your card issuer converts at its own rate.
Pick by who's coming with you. Each route ends with a legal status in Vietnam and bilingual contracts with a Vietnamese company.
The first weeks are where people get stuck. Some of this is in every route; the rest you tick when you book, and the total is shown before you pay.
Prices in VND, indicative, shown in full at checkout. Nothing is added unless you tick it.
The company operates in three areas, each tied to physical assets in Vietnam. Which one you take part in, and on what terms, is agreed in your contract and explained in consultation.
16–29 seat coaches and limousines on fixed routes and charters along the south-central coast, sold through travel platforms.
Apartments and townhouses leased long-term to expats in the three cities.
Homestays and 10–20 room mini hotels filled through booking platforms and group travel.
Nine steps, usually about fourteen weeks after signing. We do the paperwork; you provide documents and show up for the medical check and the interview.

A participation contract with VN Đông Co., Ltd. that sets out your capital contribution, how results are reported to you, and how you exit. The company publishes no figures or projections on this site; we present them in consultation, after a confidentiality agreement.
Yes. The labour contract is signed between you and a Vietnamese employer; you are paid by the employer, pay social insurance and income tax, and have real duties. Authorities check this at renewal, so we only advise on positions that match your qualifications. rootviet is not an employment agency; we advise on eligibility and paperwork.
For a work permit, yes: a bachelor's degree plus 3 years of relevant experience, or a qualifying technical certificate plus 5 years. We check this in step 2, before you spend anything beyond the consultation fee.
It is a consultation fee, not a deposit. It is credited back in full when you sign a contract with us. If you decide not to proceed, or we find you are not eligible, it is not refunded — it pays for the eligibility check and the consultation.
Exit terms are written into your contract: your capital contribution can be transferred to a buyer approved by the company, or settled when the company sells the related asset. Your residence card is tied to your job, so leaving the job ends the card too.
