Remittances Flow to Vietnam Seeking Stable Investment Channels
Amid global economic uncertainties, remittances to Vietnam continue to surge impressively. According to the State Bank of Vietnam (Zone 2), remittances to Ho Chi Minh City in 2025 are projected to reach approximately $10.5 billion (equivalent to 276 trillion VND), a 10.5% increase compared to 2024. Remittances to HCMC account for about 60% of the country’s total, often referred to as the “golden resource” for economic development.
These figures underscore the significance of this “golden resource.” The growing remittance inflows also reflect the overseas Vietnamese community’s confidence and expectations in Vietnam’s sustainable growth, particularly in HCMC.
Notably, an estimated 25% of remittances are directed into real estate, highlighting the overseas Vietnamese community’s increasing demand for home ownership and long-term asset accumulation. Beyond market dynamics, new legal frameworks are opening broader opportunities for both residency and investment for overseas Vietnamese.
The 2024 Land Law allows overseas Vietnamese to access and use land on par with domestic citizens, while the 2023 Real Estate Business Law facilitates transparent and secure transactions, investment, and real estate business for Vietnamese expatriates.

Remittances allocated to real estate are not merely financial investments but also preparations for repatriation after years abroad. The trend of “going far to return” is becoming a significant driver, shaping the home-buying behavior of overseas Vietnamese today.
Golden Criteria for Overseas Vietnamese in Real Estate Selection
According to CBRE Vietnam, 90% of foreign buyers opt for condominiums. Among the overseas Vietnamese community, preferences lean toward projects with convenient locations, well-planned layouts, clear legal status, long-term value, and high-quality living experiences. However, many inner-city projects, despite being high-end, often fall short of expectations due to soaring prices, limited space, and high population density.
As a result, the trend is shifting toward satellite urban areas, which offer connectivity, spacious living, synchronized planning, affordable prices, and growth potential. In the former Long An area, The Win City has emerged as a focal point, recording 1,400 successful transactions, many involving overseas Vietnamese, showcasing the project’s significant appeal.
For many overseas Vietnamese, location is not just about transportation connectivity but also about ensuring a convenient, quick, and strategically positioned quality of life. The Win City offers a distinct advantage with its gateway location in western HCMC, connecting to Ring Road 3, Ring Road 4, and the HCMC-Trung Luong Expressway, facilitating easy travel to Binh Duong, Long Thanh Airport, and Vung Tau. Notably, it takes just 25 minutes to reach Ben Thanh Market (via the extended Vo Van Kiet Boulevard) and Tan Son Nhat Airport (via the expanded Nguyen Thi Tu axis).

Globally, urban models like Marina Bay (Singapore), Songdo (South Korea), and Shibuya (Japan) have proven their strong appeal and set the standard many overseas Vietnamese aspire to. Embracing this trend, The Win City is developed with a similar philosophy, featuring a construction density of only 29.82%, dedicating most of its land to green spaces, landscapes, and community areas. The project boasts over 100 amenities across six categories—Live, Work, Play, Learn, Care, Move—highlighted by the 33-42 story WinMark commercial center, a K-12 school, clinic, sports complex, Olympic pool, and landscape park, offering a civilized and secure living environment.
Beyond exceptional living, overseas Vietnamese also prioritize asset value. The Win City enjoys a strategic advantage, situated in the heart of the Southern industrial hub, home to 39 industrial zones with a 90% occupancy rate and over 220,000 high-quality professionals and workers. This meets both actual living needs and provides stable rental income.
With prices starting at 30.5 million VND/m², buyers can own a unit at The Win City with just 2 billion VND. The project has completed all legal procedures and is eligible for future property sales, providing peace of mind for buyers, especially the overseas Vietnamese community seeking a sustainable home and long-term asset in Vietnam.
