Starlink starts taking orders for satellite internet service in Vietnam

Starlink, the satellite internet service operated by Elon Musk's SpaceX, has ​begun accepting orders in Vietnam, according to the ‌company's local website.

Households are now able to place deposits through its website at starlink.com.vn for a residential service ​plan starting at 1.13 million dong ($43) ​per month, plus hardware costs of 8.66 ⁠million dong.
Vietnam becomes the sixth ​Southeast Asian market where Starlink services are available, joining Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and East Timor, according ​to Starlink's coverage map.
Vietnam's government announced ​in March 2025 that it would allow SpaceX to ‌launch ⁠Starlink on a trial basis, waiving foreign ownership limits for the service.

Authorities have capped the number of subscribers at 600,000 during ​the trial ​period, which ⁠runs through the end of 2030.
The service is operated by ​SpaceX's local unit, Starlink Services Vietnam, ​which ⁠was established in September 2025 with charter capital of 30 billion dong ($1.1 million).

Vietnam has ⁠authorised ​four Starlink ground gateway ​stations, according to the government.
