What is changing
  • ▸Immigration processing changes worth continued monitoring
  • ▸Tax-linked exit restrictions elevate personal compliance risk
Why it matters
  • ▸Talent retention in Hanoi/HCMC hubs
  • ▸Expatriate mobility risk for country leadership
  • ▸Succession coverage for customs-facing, security, and licensed roles
Likely Future Sequence

  2. 02
    Ongoing
    Integrate tax and mobility compliance checks; maintain succession coverage
