A Rapidly Changing Legal and Regulatory Framework<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vietnam\u2019s regulatory system continues to evolve as the country modernises its investment environment. The challenge for foreign investors is not simply the number of rules, but the speed of legislative change and the possibility of different interpretations during implementation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2025 Law on Investment took effect on 1 March 2026. Among other reforms, it reduced the number of conditional business sectors to 198 and introduced changes intended to streamline investment procedures. Some provisions relating to business conditions took effect on 1 July 2026.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/investvietnam.gov.vn\/en\/news--events.nd\/starting-from-march-1-2026-the-2025-investment-law-officially-comes-into-effect.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">investvietnam.gov.vn<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Businesses should confirm:&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Whether their proposed activities are open to foreign investment.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Whether foreign ownership limits apply.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Whether an Investment Registration Certificate is&nbsp;required.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Whether separate operating licences or professional approvals are necessary.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Whether the proposed premises are legally suitable for the registered activities.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Regulatory approval should therefore be planned on an activity-by-activity basis.

Foreign-Exchange Controls and Banking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vietnam regulates the use of foreign currency within its territory.&nbsp;As a general rule, transactions, payments, price quotations,&nbsp;listings&nbsp;and advertising in Vietnam may not be conducted in foreign exchange unless an authorised exception applies. However, this does not mean that every foreign currency must automatically be converted into Vietnamese dong in every circumstance.&nbsp;Permitted&nbsp;current-account transactions may be processed through authorised credit institutions.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/vanban.chinhphu.vn\/?classid=1&amp;docid=55835&amp;pageid=27160&amp;typegroupid=3&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vanban.chinhphu.vn<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where a transaction is legally&nbsp;permitted&nbsp;in foreign currency, an electronic invoice may&nbsp;state&nbsp;the foreign-currency amount and applicable exchange rate&nbsp;in accordance with&nbsp;the invoicing rules.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/baochinhphu.vn\/huong-dan-the-hien-ty-gia-ngoai-te-tren-hoa-don-dien-tu-102260917105012709.htm?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">baochinhphu.vn<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Foreign-invested enterprises should plan for:&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Direct investment capital accounts where&nbsp;required.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Evidence supporting incoming and outgoing transfers.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Proper classification of shareholder loans and capital contributions.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Loan registration requirements.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Profit-remittance documentation.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bank know-your-customer and beneficial-ownership checks.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Capital should be contributed through the correct account and within the registered period.

Vietnamese-Language and Document Requirements&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vietnamese is the principal language used for statutory filings and dealings with government authorities. Contracts and internal records may be bilingual, but the Vietnamese version is commonly&nbsp;required&nbsp;for regulatory, employment,&nbsp;accounting&nbsp;or&nbsp;tax purposes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not every foreign-issued document follows one identical certification process. Requirements can depend on the document type, issuing country, applicable&nbsp;treaty&nbsp;and the receiving authority. A document may require notarisation, consular&nbsp;legalisation&nbsp;and a certified Vietnamese translation unless an exemption applies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Businesses should confirm document requirements before execution. Correcting a signature, legalisation or translation&nbsp;problem after submission can delay an application significantly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-cumbersome-tax-system\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:25px\">6. Intellectual-Property Protection&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vietnam&nbsp;generally follows&nbsp;a first-to-file system for trademark rights. Businesses should therefore search and register important trademarks,&nbsp;logos&nbsp;and product names before launching or appointing local distributors.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipvietnam.gov.vn\/vi\/web\/english\/trademark-examination-procedure?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OFFICE OF VIETNAM<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although enforcement is strengthening, counterfeit goods and online infringement remain material concerns.

Salary expectations and retention pressure can be particularly significant in major commercial and industrial centres.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Employment contracts, payroll, compulsory insurance, working hours, leave and termination procedures must be managed under Vietnamese labour rules. Informal employment practices can create liabilities even when they are commercially common.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Foreign personnel require separate attention. Decree 219\/2025\/ND-CP, effective from 7 August 2025, revised the framework governing foreign workers and related work-permit procedures. Employers should confirm whether a work permit or exemption is&nbsp;required&nbsp;before the employee begins work.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/vanban.chinhphu.vn\/?docid=214840&amp;pageid=27160&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vanban.chinhphu.vn<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-cumbersome-tax-system\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:25px\">8.

Incident-response and deletion procedures should also be documented. These obligations should be incorporated into HR, marketing, sales,&nbsp;technology&nbsp;and procurement processes rather than assigned solely to an IT department.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-cumbersome-tax-system\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:25px\">9.

legal&nbsp;structure&nbsp;and confirm the suitability of their premises. The implementation plan should cover capital contribution, banking, licences, tax registrations, invoicing,&nbsp;employment&nbsp;and data processing\u2014not merely incorporation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contracts with landlords, distributors and employees should align with the approved business scope. Companies should also&nbsp;establish&nbsp;a compliance calendar and assign responsibility for regulatory updates. Adequate working capital is important because licensing, recruitment, fit-out and customer acquisition may take longer than forecast.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/premiatnc.com\/singapore-holding-company-and-vietnam-subsidiary-ventures\/?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=Singapore+Holding+Company+and+Vietnam+Subsidiary+Partnership\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"555\" src=\"https:\/\/premiatnc.com\/vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/VN-8-Strategic-Benefits-to-Expand-Your-Business-in-Vietnam-with-a-Singapore-Holding-Company-1-1024x555.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94015\" srcset=\"https:\/\/premiatnc.com\/vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/VN-8-Strategic-Benefits-to-Expand-Your-Business-in-Vietnam-with-a-Singapore-Holding-Company-1-1024x555.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/premiatnc.com\/vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/VN-8-Strategic-Benefits-to-Expand-Your-Business-in-Vietnam-with-a-Singapore-Holding-Company-1-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/premiatnc.com\/vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/VN-8-Strategic-Benefits-to-Expand-Your-Business-in-Vietnam-with-a-Singapore-Holding-Company-1-768x416.jpg 768w, https:\/\/premiatnc.com\/vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/VN-8-Strategic-Benefits-to-Expand-Your-Business-in-Vietnam-with-a-Singapore-Holding-Company-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/premiatnc.channel.io\/home?utm_source=seo&amp;utm_medium=channel.io&amp;utm_campaign=premiatnc\" style=\"background-color:#f04e23\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Complimentary Annual Return Filling &#8211;

A company may be successfully incorporated but still require additional licences before beginning particular services or commercial operations. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>How long does it take to establish a company in Vietnam?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>There is no universal timeline. The process depends on the investor, business activities, ownership structure, location, investment scale and licences required. Regulated activities and projects requiring additional approvals generally take longer than straightforward service companies. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Can foreigners own 100% of a Vietnamese company?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Foreigners may wholly own businesses in many sectors, but some activities are restricted, conditional or subject to foreign ownership limits. Market-access rules should be checked for every proposed business activity before the ownership structure is finalised. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Must every transaction in Vietnam be conducted in Vietnamese dong?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Vietnam generally restricts domestic transactions, payments, quotations and advertising in foreign currency, but statutory exceptions exist. Permitted foreign-currency transactions must follow the relevant foreign-exchange and banking rules. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Is a foreign trademark registration valid in Vietnam?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A registration obtained in another jurisdiction does not normally provide automatic protection in Vietnam. Businesses should file locally or use an applicable international registration route and should do so as early as possible because Vietnam generally follows the first-to-file principle. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>What personal-data rules apply in Vietnam in 2026?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Law on Personal Data Protection and its implementing decree took effect on 1 January 2026. Businesses handling customer, employee or other personal information should review collection notices, processing grounds, consent, vendor arrangements, security controls and cross-border transfers. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>How can businesses reduce risk when entering Vietnam?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Businesses should conduct legal and tax due diligence, verify market access and licensing requirements, prepare properly legalised documents, protect intellectual property and establish compliance procedures before operations begin. Local professional support is especially useful when several regulatory approvals must be coordinated. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 7<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>Vietnam remains one of Southeast Asia\u2019s most attractive destinations for manufacturing, services and foreign investment.
