Online entrepreneurs are moving their businesses from Western nations to Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City. Vietnam is especially popular for young people starting online companies because of the country’s low cost of living. Alex Fortin moved to Ho Chi Minh City from Calgary, Canada two years ago to develop online education courses. “It’s quite safe there, and the Internet is pretty good,” said Fortin. “I wanted to be somewhere where I could focus 100 percent on my online business.” The young entrepreneur makes money by writing online courses that help people make money on the Internet. He is one of many “tech nomads” building a startup in Ho Chi Minh City. Also, it is easier to get a work visa in Vietnam than other countries. Entrepreneurs can legally stay in Vietnam for up to five years. Ho Chi Minh City is Vietnam’s economic center and caters to young entrepreneurs there. Many small community workplaces have opened up in the city. One of those places is Start Saigon in the city’s popular District 1 area.
