Questions people ask first

Is the 12% guaranteed?

No. It is a target based on how current projects have performed. Distributions come from real quarterly results and can be lower, or zero, in a weak quarter. Your stake is returned at the end of the term according to the project's remaining value.

Is the job real, or just for the permit?

Real. You sign a Vietnamese labour contract, are paid by your employer, pay social insurance and income tax, and have duties. Authorities check this at renewal, so we only match you to positions you can actually do.

Do I need a degree?

For a work permit, yes: a bachelor's degree plus 3 years of relevant experience, or a qualifying technical certificate plus 5 years. We check this in step 2, before you pay anything beyond the deposit.

What if I want to leave early?

Sell your seat to a buyer we approve. The price follows the project's remaining value and there is a transfer fee. Your residence card is tied to your job, so leaving the job ends the card too.

What does school support cover?

We shortlist international and bilingual schools, visit with you, translate documents and handle enrolment paperwork. Tuition, transport and daily care stay with your family.

Who is behind rootviet?

rootviet is a brand of VN Đông Co., Ltd., a Vietnamese company registered in Nha Trang with 10 billion VND charter capital. Contracts are signed with the company.

Fourteen weeks from now you could be living here.

Seats in Round 1 are limited to twelve.
