[HKBAV - CEN Group Webinar] Expert Guide for Foreigners On Buying Apartment in Vietnam

Vietnam in 2015 introduced a new Foreign ownership law which allowed for condo developments (30% of the total) to be purchased by foreigners and 10% of landed houses in special projects. This law allows under eased criteria for foreigners to purchase and hold under certain terms and obligations the property. However, some of the terms are quite detailed and the process can seem foreign to overseas buyers not used to Vietnam law, additionally not all projects or areas enjoy these entitlements. Interest has grown as Vietnam’s market has continued to grow even marginally in a covid environment and with its growth as a manufacturing base and tourist destination and with a cost of entry base lower than regional peers it remains an attractive market. Please join our online seminar to look at some of the legal, financial and process considerations with expert panelists.Date: Tuesday, 14 July, 2020Time: 10AM – 11AM (GMT+7) | 11AM – 12PM (GMT+8)Admission fee: Complimentary ticket (This webinar will be conducted in English and using ZOOM)Online registration: https://bit.ly/31GU9HA*The registration email will be shared with the presentersAgenda (GMT +7):
