KEY TIPS FOR SMOOTH COMPANY REGISTRATION PROCESS

Registering a company in Vietnam is not complicated — but without the right preparation, investors may face delays and unexpected paperwork issues.

To help your process go smoothly, here are some practical tips to keep in mind before you start:

1. Define your business scope carefully
Make sure your business line is eligible for foreign investment under Vietnamese law.
Some industries are fully open, while others are “conditional” and require additional approval or ownership restrictions.
Clarifying this early helps you avoid having to amend your registration later.

2. Prepare investor documents properly
All foreign documents must be notarized, consular legalized, and translated into Vietnamese before submission.
Incomplete legalization or inconsistent signatures are among the most common causes of application delays.

3. Choose a reliable local representative
Your company’s legal representative in Vietnam holds full authority and responsibility for legal and tax matters.
Select someone experienced, responsive, and familiar with local compliance — especially if you are based overseas.

4. Complete post-licensing procedures on time
Obtaining your Business Registration Certificate is only the first step.
You’ll still need to:

* Register your company for taxes and e-invoices
* Open a corporate bank account
* Contribute charter capital within 90 days
* Submit initial tax and labor declarations

Timely completion of these procedures ensures your company remains compliant from day one.
