Vietnam at a glance

Why Vietnam?

Flag of Vietnam.
  • A rapidly growing market with deep integration into regional supply chains and trade.

  • Many sectors allow foreign investors to hold full or majority ownership, depending on the specific industry and market access conditions.

  • Investors should first determine the business activities, location, investment capital, required licenses, and other relevant conditions.

  • After incorporation, the company must continue to fulfill its investment, accounting, tax, labor, and periodic reporting obligations.

Company structure

Investors can establish a business in Vietnam under various suitable structures, with Limited Liability Companies (LLC) or Joint Stock Companies (JSC) being the most common.

Depending on the project and industry, the incorporation process may include:

  • Investment Registration Certificate (IRC)

  • Enterprise Registration Certificate (ERC)

  • Specialized licenses or permits, if applicable
