The investment to buy houses and land use right not only brings benefits to OVs but alsohelps increase the source of overseas remittances to the homeland, contributingto the country's development.
Thien expressed her hope that the NA and theGovernment will issue decrees and instructions to facilitate the implementationof the law.
She also proposed several issues related to implementing contracts of buying,selling, transferring, and inheriting land use right, saying that it is necessary tosimplify relevant administrative procedures to make it easier for OVS to own houses in Vietnam.
In the context of the idle realestate market as the supply is abundant, the revised land law is hoped to contributeto stimulating the demand from OVs, thus making the Vietnamese real estate market brighter and more bustling in the coming time, she went on./.
