About us
LeaseInVietnam is building a
trusted relocation hub for expats
We turn on-the-ground market research, verified neighborhood guides, and tenancy advisory into a practical decision engine for foreigners moving to Vietnam. Our mission is simple: help readers rent smarter, avoid scams, and connect with trusted local professionals who can support every stage of relocation.
Our platform at a glance

Neighborhood intelligence

Trust & scam prevention
Comprehensive warning bulletins and contract review checklists designed to protect tenants from fake listings, deposit forfeiture, and utility fraud.
Relocation advisory
Practical step-by-step guidance on temporary residence police registration (tạm trú), bank accounts, TRC/work permits, and trusted mover connections.
Our research & editorial standards
Every article, market report, and property breakdown is grounded in rigorous firsthand research and verified local sources.
Field-inspected properties
