At the "IIUSA EB-5 Event Passport Series," experts discussed topics such as new policy updates from Congress and the White House regarding the EB-5 program, processing trends following the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act (RIA), and practical data on application progress. Additionally, speakers shared perspectives from migration consulting firms on selecting suitable projects for Vietnamese investors. The event also provided an opportunity for industry businesses to connect directly with EB-5 partners in the US.
Participating in a specialized panel discussion, Chau Tam Luan, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Newland USA, outlined the criteria for choosing EB-5 projects for Vietnamese investors. According to Luan, unlike some other markets, Vietnamese investors often prioritize residency and the safety of their investment. Therefore, evaluating the capital structure, the developer's financial participation level, and the job creation roadmap are key factors before making a decision.
A Newland USA representative stated that the company's role extends beyond merely introducing projects; it acts as a strategic bridge between Vietnamese investors and the global EB-5 ecosystem. Consequently, Newland USA's team of experts filters, evaluates, and transforms information into tailored strategies for each investor's application by directly accessing policy information, market data, and in-depth analysis from industry organizations.

Furthermore, all EB-5 projects included in Newland USA's consulting portfolio undergo a rigorous process of cross-referencing with IIUSA's evaluation criteria and risk warnings, particularly concerning capital structure and job creation potential.
"This approach reflects Newland USA's guiding principle: investment migration requires transparency, legal compliance, and a clear return basis. Therefore, we always prioritize audited EB-5 projects with transparent information disclosure from reputable operating organizations in the US," Luan added.
Newland USA assesses that in 2026, the demand for US residency in Vietnam will continue to maintain stable growth. The main drivers stem from long-term goals such as children's education, asset diversification, and expanded global mobility opportunities.

The Newland USA founder noted that with market development, Vietnamese investors are now tending to conduct deeper research and exercise greater caution before making decisions. Factors such as project transparency, legal compliance, and the long-term safety of the investment are increasingly emphasized.
"In this context, EB-5 projects with robust financial structures, transparent governance, and clear job creation roadmaps will continue to attract significant interest from investors," he stressed.
