Ho Chi Minh City is Vietnam's commercial capital, where nomads split between the high-rise energy of District 1, the leafy expat enclave of Thao Dien, and the increasingly popular District 3 and Binh Thanh, all connected by cheap Grab rides. It trades Da Nang's beach-town pace for a much deeper talent pool, more coworking variety, and a far longer list of restaurants, gyms, and late-night options.

As in the rest of Vietnam, there is still no dedicated digital nomad visa in 2026; most remote workers enter on the 90-day multiple-entry e-visa and treat a periodic visa run as routine rather than a crisis.
