Private arrival
Met at the aircraft door or the arrivals hall, checked in before you reach the suite.
Green Candle Luxury · Vietnam
Vietnam,
privately.
Business opportunities. Exceptional stays. Everything arranged around you.
A Green Candle Journeys service
A different way
A different way to experience Vietnam.
A tour gives you someone else's schedule. A trip you organise yourself gives you a week of logistics. A private journey gives you the time back: you decide what matters, and one team arranges the rest.
A tour
Fixed dates, fixed route, other people.
Fine for sightseeing. Not built around a meeting at 10:00 or a quiet day when you need one.
On your own
Full control, and every detail is yours.
Drivers, interpreters, introductions and hotels, each found and checked by you, in a new country.
With Green Candle
Your agenda, prepared before you land.
Meetings requested and confirmed, the car at the door, the right hotel, and one person who answers day and night.
How you are looked after
Nothing to arrange. Nothing to worry about.
Private mobility
Your own car and professional driver for the whole stay. No waiting, no taxis, no re-explaining the address.
Business access
Private meeting rooms, company visits and site tours, with an interpreter who knows business language.
Private leisure
Villas and resorts chosen by hand for space and quiet, for you, your family or your guests.
Two experiences
Come for business, for rest, or for both.
Private Business & Investment Visits
See the market for yourself, meet the people behind it, and leave with a clearer view. Two to seven days, one to twenty people.
- Company introductions and meeting coordination around your agenda
- Industrial park, factory and site visits in the south, centre and north
- Introductions to licensed legal, tax and corporate advisers
- Private chauffeur and business interpreter: English, Chinese, Korean, Japanese
- Hotels chosen for calls, with a quiet room for your own meetings
- VAT invoice from a registered Vietnamese company
Meetings are requested on your behalf and confirmed with you in writing before you fly. We do not promise access to any company that has not agreed to meet.
Private Leisure
Time that is properly yours: the right villa, an unhurried pace, and everything ready before you ask for it.
- Private villas and suites on the central coast, Phu Quoc and in the northern mountains
- A private cabin on Ha Long Bay or Lan Ha Bay
- A chauffeur at the door, a private guide only when you want one
- Spa, golf and restaurant reservations made for you
- Days planned around children, grandparents or simply rest
- Fast, tested internet, if you still want to check the markets
Every villa, cruise and transfer is confirmed in writing before you fly.
Meetings during the week. The coast, or the bay, when they are done.
Plan business & leisureDestinations
Vietnam, through a different perspective.
Each place does something different. We match the city to the purpose of your visit, not the other way round.
Ho Chi Minh City
BusinessThe commercial capital. The stock exchange, the VIFC core zone at Thu Thiem, fund managers and the industrial parks of the south, an hour away.
Da Nang
Business · LeisureThe second VIFC hub, tech parks and a coastline twenty minutes away. The easiest place to combine the two.
Hanoi
BusinessThe capital. Ministries, policy and the manufacturing belt of the north.
Hoi An
LeisurePool villas, the old town after dark, the beach at dawn. Thirty minutes from Da Nang.
Ha Long Bay
LeisureA private cabin among the limestone karsts, two and a half hours from Hanoi. One night, or two.
Context
Vietnam at an important moment.
Three changes from 2026 that make this a good time to see the country with your own eyes.
Emerging market status
FTSE Russell confirmed in April 2026 that Vietnam moves from Frontier to Secondary Emerging, effective 21 September 2026, with index inclusion phased in through September 2027.

Our role
Green Candle organises the journey and coordinates the meetings. We are not investment advisers, and nothing on this page is investment advice. Decisions stay with you and the licensed advisers you choose.
Our approach
Considered in every detail.
What changes from guest to guest is the agenda. What does not change is the standard.
- i.
Access & introductions
The right companies, advisers and venues, requested in your name and briefed on who you are.
- ii.
Privacy & discretion
Your schedule is shared with no one who does not need it. NDA on request.
- iii.
Private transportation
One car, one driver, every day. Airport meet and assist on arrival and departure.
- iv.
Accommodation & hospitality
Hotels and villas we know, chosen for quiet, service and a desk that works.
- v.
Personal coordination
One person from the first message to the flight home, reachable at any hour.
Why Green Candle
Local knowledge. Personal attention. One accountable team.
"I have spent ten years building trips in Vietnam and five years in the markets. When you travel with us, you deal with me directly, from the first conversation until you are home."
Our local presence
A Vietnamese team on the ground in the south, centre and north, the same team behind Vietnam Pickleball Travel. Ten years of planning and running trips in this country.
Our network
Hotels and resorts, chauffeur companies, business interpreters, licensed law and accounting firms, and industrial park operators we work with or introduce. We name them in your proposal, not on a logo wall.
Who is accountable
Every journey is contracted through 365Aplus Travel, a registered Vietnamese company, tax code 0110251990, with a VAT invoice. If something goes wrong, you call Kevin.
What we will not do
Give investment advice, sell property or securities, or claim a relationship we do not have.
How it works
From first conversation to final arrival.
- i.
Consultation
A private call or message about what you want from the visit. No cost, no commitment.
- ii.
Bespoke proposal
A written programme and fee within 72 hours, revised until it is right.
- iii.
Confirmation
Meetings, stays and transfers confirmed in writing before you fly.
- iv.
Personal coordination
Met on arrival. One contact, day and night, until you leave.
Your Vietnam journey begins with a conversation.
Private by design. Personal by nature.
Private consultation
Begin with a private conversation.

Questions
Do you give investment advice?
No. Green Candle organises the journey and coordinates the meetings. Investment, legal and tax decisions stay with you and the licensed advisers you choose. We do not sell securities or property.
Can you guarantee a meeting with a specific company?
No one honestly can. We request meetings on your behalf, explain who you are and why you are visiting, and confirm each one with you in writing before you fly. If a company declines, we tell you early and suggest alternatives.
Can my family come?
Of course. Many guests combine a business week with family time on the coast. We plan villas with space for children, a slower pace, and separate days for whoever wants them.
Which months are best?
The central coast is at its best from February to August, the north from October to April, and Phu Quoc from November to April. Ho Chi Minh City works all year.
Which visa do I need?
Most short visits use the Vietnam e-visa, up to 90 days, applied for at evisa.gov.vn. Some nationalities enter visa-free. If you will work or sign contracts, ask your lawyer about a business (DN) visa. Our e-visa guide has the details.
How far ahead should we plan?
Three weeks for a simple programme. Six weeks or more for specific company meetings, peak-season villas or travel near Tet.
