A foreign worker who receives a dismissal or termination notice should preserve the documents and clarify the legal basis used by the employer. Employment and immigration questions may arise together and should be assessed promptly. Keep the contract, notices, policies, performance or disciplinary records and relevant communications. Record when the decision was received and what payments were offered. Do not assume that all forms of contract termination are disciplinary dismissal or follow the same procedure.

An international couple may agree to divorce yet still face document and participation requirements. Before filing a joint application, confirm the Vietnamese court's jurisdiction and prepare clear arrangements for children, property and any unresolved financial obligations. The discussion explains the preparation issues that international families should consider before filing. It connects document readiness with procedural requirements and highlights the need to assess overseas residence, service and practical participation without assuming that every case follows the same timetable.
Foreigners 16/10/2024
Marriage registration in Vietnam should be planned around the couple's nationalities, residence and civil-status history. A wedding celebration and a legal registration serve different purposes, and the required documents should be checked for the actual case. Review identity, marital status, any previous marriage and the conditions applicable to each party. Determine the competent registration authority under the current framework. Avoid assuming that a general checklist applies to every nationality or residence situation.
Dispute 22/01/2026
Understand criminal defence support for foreign defendants in Vietnam, including procedural rights, interpretation, evidence and early case assessment. Clarify the person's procedural status and obtain advice before important statements or submissions. Defence strategy should be based on the allegation, evidence and applicable safeguards, with coordination for interpretation and consular contact where relevant.
Dispute 10/10/2023
An intellectual property dispute may concern ownership, a licence, unauthorized use or the scope of protection. Copyright, trademarks, patents and confidential business information raise different evidence and enforcement questions. Identify who owns the right and collect registrations, creation records, assignments or licence terms. Document how the other party used the material, sign or technology and distinguish suspected infringement from a disagreement about a contract.
Dispute 05/11/2026
Foreign companies involved in disputes with Vietnamese businesses may pursue legal action in Vietnam when the relevant jurisdictional requirements are met. Understanding court procedures, evidence requirements and litigation risks is essential before filing a lawsuit.
Dispute 25/07/2023
A criminal matter with foreign elements can raise questions about jurisdiction, language, evidence abroad and the person's procedural status. Nationality alone does not determine guilt or the outcome of a case. This guide focuses on practical issues for suspects, defendants, victims and their families. It replaces broad assumptions about foreign nationals with a case-specific approach to documents, communication and lawful representation.
Divorce 08/09/2022
The duration of a unilateral divorce depends on the procedure and the work required in the individual case. Preparing a complete file can help, but disputes, overseas service, valuation and procedural difficulties may still extend the overall time. The discussion separates legal requirements from practical preparation and identifies the issues to clarify before taking the next step. It explains why the documents, degree of agreement and specific relief requested should guide the approach rather than a general promise about timing or outcome.
Divorce 22/10/2022
The historical year in this article's title should not be used to select today's court or document requirements. A current case requires an updated jurisdiction check, a clear choice of procedure and documents reflecting the spouses' present circumstances. The discussion separates legal requirements from practical preparation and identifies the issues to clarify before taking the next step. It explains why the documents, degree of agreement and specific relief requested should guide the approach rather than a general promise about timing or outcome.
Divorce 23/08/2022
Spouses can agree on property issues, but the agreement should describe the assets and obligations clearly. Identifying ownership, outstanding debts and any third-party interests helps avoid a settlement that appears complete but leaves significant disputes unresolved. The discussion considers the acquisition records, agreements and financial evidence that can affect the assessment. It separates ownership questions from the practical implementation of a settlement and highlights why assumptions about equal shares or liability should be checked against the facts.
Divorce 31/01/2026
Assess whether two foreigners can seek divorce in Vietnam, focusing on jurisdiction, overseas documents, residence and practical filing challenges. Nationality, residence and the legal connection to Vietnam must be examined together. Working in Vietnam alone should not be treated as automatic court jurisdiction, and document readiness does not replace that assessment.
Investment 03/04/2026
Understand investment project approval under Vietnam's 2025 Investment Law, including classification, competent authority and preparation before filing. In-principle approval and investment registration serve different functions. Confirm the applicable route and authority for the actual project before adopting a timetable or treating company registration as permission to operate.
Investment 22/05/2024
An investment registration certificate adjustment should reflect an actual change to the project or investor information. The first step is to describe the difference between the current record and the proposed situation. A name correction, capital change, new objective, location change and transfer of a project can raise different issues. Compare the certificate with actual implementation and reporting records. Corporate approval and evidence of funding or land arrangements should fit the change proposed.
Investment 17/10/2025
Hiring a foreign employee requires a review of the job and worker as well as the proposed employment terms. Work-permit eligibility or exemption should be assessed before the person begins work. Identify the employer, workplace, position, assignment period and relevant qualifications or experience. Determine the current procedure and evidence for a permit or exemption. A short assignment or intra-company transfer should not be treated as an automatic exemption without checking its conditions.
Investment 24/07/2026
Review employment law issues for foreign companies in Vietnam, from contracts and internal rules to work permits, termination and labor dispute planning. Coordinate management, HR and legal records before hiring or restructuring. International policies should be adapted to the local employment relationship and supported by consistent documents and a lawful decision process.
