    I believe Malaysia allows ownership of the land as well as the building.

    Thanks for the questions! Most condotel projects now selling under Long Term Lease ownership for foreigners. Vietnamese may be able to get commercial pink books in condotels as per the 2021 legal update, but in practice they are not available yet. Residential condo towers still selling under Sales and Purchase Agreements for foreigners and will lead to pink books. Altara Suites foreigners are able to sign Sales and Purchase Agreements as well and transfer SPA contracts at the local notary office.

    Thanks for the questions - It is true that the correction of COVID and 2023 extremely high interest rates is coming to the end. As tourism is back, manufacturing is up, and interest rates are at all times low, many are expecting a lot of upside for investors in next 3-5 years. I don't believe we have received your email!

    Why would anyone buy a home in Vietnam when they can't own the land ? Seems crazy that anyone would want to spend money to only own the depreciating part of the ownership.....the building....and not the potentially appreciating element....the land.

    I've noticed in my preliminary search that two-bedroom condos seem to be the norm. I was seeking a studio or one bedroom in a new building within walking distance of international restaurants. Both to live in, up to three months a year, and as a turn-key rental. Does that type of condo exist?

    Thanks for the questions Betserv - currently the law allows foreigners to extend their ownership after the 50-year expiry. Foreigners also have the right to transfer their ownership to Vietnamese who would own the condos freehold and therefore the duration of ownership does not affect them.
