Enterprise 18/01/2026

Use a business legal compliance checklist for Vietnam covering corporate records, licenses, employment, data protection and ongoing risk management.

Foreigners

The points to consider for foreigners working in Vietnam under the labor exemption category

The points to consider for foreigners working in Vietnam under the labor exemption category

Foreigners 12/09/2023

A foreign worker should not assume that a senior title, short assignment or intra-company transfer automatically removes the need for a work permit. Eligibility depends on the applicable exemption and the facts of the proposed work. Review the employer, position, location, assignment period and evidence supporting the claimed category. Some situations require confirmation or notification even when a permit is not required. A contract describing a person as exempt is not a substitute for the applicable legal conditions.

How to Practice Law in Vietnam as a Foreign Attorney

How to Practice Law in Vietnam as a Foreign Attorney

Foreigners 12/03/2026

Review the permitted scope, licensing requirements and organizational routes for foreign lawyers wishing to practise in Vietnam. A home-country qualification alone does not authorize local practice. Distinguish advice on foreign and international law from Vietnamese-law advice and courtroom work, then confirm the relevant licensing and affiliation requirements.

Social Insurance for Foreign Employees in Vietnam

Foreigners 25/05/2026

Dispute 04/06/2026

Review divorce involving foreign elements when a spouse is abroad, including jurisdiction, overseas service, documents, participation and child-related issues. Confirm the filing route and the other spouse's address early. Agreement or absence alone does not remove documentary and procedural requirements, especially where children or property connect several countries.

Settlement Of Business And Commercial Disputes In Court

Settlement Of Business And Commercial Disputes In Court

Dispute 28/07/2023

Commercial litigation begins with identifying the legal claim, the proper parties and the competent court. A clear chronology and a focused evidence file help turn a business disagreement into a properly defined request for relief. This article outlines the main stages without treating statutory preparation periods as a guaranteed completion date. Businesses should also assess contractual dispute clauses and settlement opportunities before proceedings begin.

Dispute 20/06/2026

Understand litigation support for contested unilateral divorce in Vietnam, including evidence, an absent spouse, children, assets, debts and court procedure.

Settlement Of Child Custody Disputes After Divorce

Settlement Of Child Custody Disputes After Divorce

Dispute 05/09/2023

A post-divorce custody dispute should focus on the child's welfare and the evidence supporting the proposed care arrangement. A parent's wish for custody does not by itself determine the court's decision. The discussion distinguishes an initial custody decision from a later request to change the person directly raising the child. The current order and the circumstances of the family should be reviewed before choosing a procedure.

Divorce

Things need to know when divorce in Viet Nam

Things need to know when divorce in Viet Nam

Divorce 25/10/2022

Before filing for divorce, separate the decision to end the marriage from the consequences that also need attention. Children, support, ownership and debts may require their own evidence, even where both spouses agree that the marriage should end. 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.

03 Cases That Are Not Allowed To Get Unilateral Divorce

Divorce 22/08/2022

Not every unsuccessful divorce application involves the same legal problem. A statutory restriction on a husband's right to request divorce, insufficient evidence of the grounds and an incomplete or incorrectly filed petition each require a different response. 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.

Child Dispute after Divorce with Foreign Elements

Child Dispute after Divorce with Foreign Elements

Divorce 07/08/2023

A child custody dispute involving another country requires careful consideration of the child's welfare, existing orders, residence and any proposed relocation. An overseas element does not create a single automatic route for every family. The discussion explains why the countries involved and the available procedures must be checked individually. It avoids assuming that an international convention applies or that a foreign order can be enforced without further review.

The jurisdiction of the Court to settle divorce case involving foreign elements

The jurisdiction of the Court to settle divorce case involving foreign elements

Divorce 11/01/2023

A foreign element is not a reason to rely automatically on an old provincial-court filing rule. Current court competence and territorial jurisdiction should be assessed against the amended Civil Procedure Code and the facts connecting the case to Vietnam. 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.

Investment

Regulations Banning Debt Collection Services

Regulations Banning Debt Collection Services

Investment 12/09/2023

A creditor's need to recover an unpaid debt does not justify threats, pressure tactics or the use of a prohibited business service. A restriction on the debt collection service business is different from the lawful enforcement of a creditor's contractual rights. Identify the contract, delivery or transfer of funds, maturity date and payments already made. A disputed invoice, an overdue loan and a debt acknowledged in a settlement require different factual analysis. Check who owes the debt and whether the claimant has standing to demand payment.

Set Up A 100% Foreign-Owned Company In Vietnam

Set Up A 100% Foreign-Owned Company In Vietnam

Investment 24/11/2025

Review legal steps for a wholly foreign-owned company in Vietnam, including market access, investment registration, enterprise records and compliance.

Employment Law Issues for Foreign Companies in Vietnam

Employment Law Issues for Foreign Companies in Vietnam

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.

Procedures For Applying Investment Incentives

Procedures For Applying Investment Incentives

Investment 26/09/2023

Investment incentives depend on the project and the applicable legal conditions, rather than the investor's expectation of a tax saving. A project may need to establish its eligibility and complete procedures with the authority responsible for the particular benefit. Separate corporate income tax, import-duty, land-related and other benefits. Review the sector, location, project scale and any qualifying certification. An incentive mentioned in an investment document should be checked against the detailed rules governing its application.
