Vietnam
Asia
Vietnam has no digital nomad visa, so most remote workers cycle through 90-day e-visas or shorter visa-free windows while working in a tolerated grey zone. A new 2025 tax law even lets a long-term lease alone trigger tax residency under 183 days, a sharper edge than the day count suggests.
