VIISA states it is looking for potential early stage Vietnamese startups. No further eligibility bullets are published on the programme page.

VIISA says the investment is in exchange for transferable equity but publishes no percentage.

The programme page links a per-batch apply page, but the batch 8 link at www.viisa.vn/apply-batch-8 returns HTTP 404, the site footer still reads 2018 and the most recent Investment Day listed is 2019. No open batch, deadline or opening date is published, so confirm with VIISA before preparing an application.
