What clients say

Frequently asked

What is the usual route for setting up a company in Vietnam?
For many foreign-owned operating businesses, the process can involve an investment registration step, enterprise registration, tax and seal formalities, banking, and activity-specific licences where required. The exact sequence depends on the proposed business and location.
How long does company formation in Vietnam take?
Timing depends on the activity, investment structure, location, documents, capital plan, authority workload, and whether further approvals are required. We can explain the practical sequence and prepare the file, but final timing remains with the relevant authorities.
Is a local nominee required in Vietnam?
A local nominee should not be assumed to be necessary. The correct ownership and management structure depends on the activity, foreign-investment conditions, legal requirements, and the investor’s actual role. Any proposed arrangement should be reviewed carefully for legality, control, banking, tax, and enforceability.
What are an IRC and ERC?
For many foreign-invested companies, the Investment Registration Certificate records the approved investment project and key investment terms. The Enterprise Registration Certificate establishes the enterprise itself. Not every case follows an identical path, so the precise filings depend on the activity, investors, location, and applicable foreign-investment conditions.
What is a Direct Investment Capital Account?
It is the former name of the investment capital account. Circular 38/2026/TT-NHNN, in force from 18 August 2026, replaced Circular 06/2019/TT-NHNN and renamed the account the foreign investment capital account in Vietnam, usually shortened to investment capital account. A foreign-invested company receives its charter capital and foreign loans through it, and sends capital and profits abroad through it. Under Article 7(3) of that Circular it can be opened before the investment registration certificate is issued, but until then only to receive contributions and interest, pay lawful pre-investment costs and refund capital if the certificate is refused. Bank forms may still say DICA.
Do foreign investor documents need legalisation or translation?
Often, foreign corporate and individual documents need formalisation, legalisation, translation, or certified copies before use in Vietnam. The exact requirements depend on the investor, country of origin, document type, authority, and proposed structure. We confirm the document route before filing.
What ongoing obligations does a Vietnam company have?
Ongoing obligations can include accounting, tax filings, annual reporting, labour and payroll requirements, licence renewals, capital-contribution monitoring, corporate record maintenance, and activity-specific compliance. The applicable calendar depends on the company’s activity, location, employees, investment structure, and registrations.
