According to a statement from Google, the transition will take effect on April 1, 2025, when the contractual rights and responsibilities of advertising partners in Vietnam will shift from Google Asia Pacific to Google Vietnam Co., Ltd. The newly established company will be headquartered in Ho Chi Minh City and will assume direct management of operations in the country.
Key Changes for Advertising Partners
Starting March 1, 2025, Google Vietnam will take over as the official partner for customers using Google’s advertising products in Vietnam, replacing Google Singapore. This move also includes a significant shift in billing practices:
