Vietnam outshines Thailand with its affordable and welcoming nomad visa.

Tourists from around the world choose Vietnam due to its affordable visa policies, low costs and the bright prospects for long-stay tourism in Vietnam. Vietnam has entered a new era of development in terms of tourism, as it is now considered one of the most promising countries for long stay in Asia due to its affordable visa policies, low cost of living and the growing number of digital nomads in the country. Moreover, the country is no more viewed as a place for short holidays; on the contrary, tourists from different parts of the world see Vietnam as a temporary home. The growing popularity of Vietnam comes as travellers search for destinations that offer more value, flexibility and meaningful experiences. Compared with established digital nomad hubs such as Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Georgia, Vietnam is gaining attention because it combines affordability with modern cities, beautiful coastlines, world-famous cuisine and improving tourism infrastructure. With cities such as Da Nang, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City attracting longer-stay visitors, Vietnam is creating a new tourism model where travellers do not simply arrive, explore and leave. Instead, they stay longer, spend more across local businesses and become part of the destination’s economy.
