Frequently Asked Questions
Can foreigners fully own a company in Vietnam?
Yes. Vietnam allows 100% foreign ownership in many business sectors, particularly in manufacturing, trading, technology, and services. However, certain regulated industries such as logistics, education, media, or telecommunications may require additional approvals, foreign ownership caps, or specific operating conditions.
How long does company registration in Vietnam take?
On average, company registration in Vietnam takes between 4 to 8 weeks, covering investment approval and enterprise registration stages. Businesses in regulated sectors or those requiring additional approvals may take longer. Proper preparation of documents and a clear definition of business scope can significantly streamline the overall process.
Is a local partner required to open a company in Vietnam?
In most cases, a local partner is not required, as Vietnam permits full foreign ownership in many sectors. However, certain business lines may still require cooperation with a local entity or compliance with specific conditions imposed by authorities. Identifying these requirements early is critical to avoiding restructuring later.
What documents are required for Vietnam company incorporation?
Typically includes shareholder documents, investment details, business scope, and registered address information.
Can Business Hub Asia handle post-incorporation compliance?
Yes. We provide tax and accounting services, tax reporting, HR and payroll outsourcing to support your business operations.
Can I register multiple business activities under one company?
Yes, a single company can register multiple business activities, provided they are permitted under Vietnam’s regulations and clearly defined during the incorporation stage. Each activity must align with the company’s registered scope and may require additional approvals depending on risk classification. Strategic planning of business activities upfront helps reduce future amendments and supports smoother expansion as the company grows.
