In 1985, the Soviet Union signed an agreement with Vietnam to allow gifted Vietnamese students to study or work in the country, which led to the formation of Vietnamese communities, the largest of which are in Kharkiv, Odessa, and Kyiv.[7] Notably, billionaire Phạm Nhật Vượng lived in Kharkiv during the 1990s.

In Vietnam there are neither organizations of Ukrainian community, nor religious communities of immigrants from Ukraine, partly due to its large distance and lack of interests.
A vast majority of citizens from Ukraine living in Vietnam are the labor migrants. They mainly consider their stay in Vietnam as a temporary and plan to return home after a labor contract with the company-employer finishes.[11] Ukrainian citizens work in the fields of tourism, trade, maritime transport, coal and petroleum, and a small number of them are engaged in business. There are also few Ukrainians who belong to the mixed Ukrainian-Vietnamese families.
