LawyersInVietnam.com shares practical legal guidance from Jurion & Partners Law Firm for foreign individuals, international investors and businesses in Vietnam. Explore corporate and investment matters, commercial disputes, employment, immigration, property and family law. Our articles help you identify legal risks, organize relevant documents and prepare questions for a lawyer. For matters involving Vietnam and another country, start with a clear assessment of the applicable procedure and your priorities.
Enterprise 11/01/2026
Review legal risks when changing land use purpose in Vietnam, including planning consistency, investment approvals, financial duties and authority review. A proposed conversion should be assessed together with the existing land rights and investment project. Confirm whether approval is required and which contractual or financial consequences may follow before using the site differently.
Enterprise 20/10/2026
Understand foreign arbitral award enforcement in Vietnam, including recognition conditions, documents, refusal grounds, court procedure and recovery risks. Recognition and actual recovery are separate stages. Review the arbitration record, notice evidence and debtor assets before filing, and assess applicable deadlines and objections under the law in force.
Enterprise 24/08/2023
Foreign investors can consider establishing a business, acquiring an interest in an existing company or cooperating under a suitable contractual structure. The best route depends on the activities, ownership conditions and commercial objectives. The guide connects the choice of structure with due diligence, licensing, tax, intellectual property and employment issues. It avoids treating an investment vehicle as a substitute for the permissions needed to operate.
Enterprise 05/09/2026
Explore enterprise legal services for foreign-owned companies in Vietnam, including governance, representative authority, contracts, compliance and disputes. Review the company charter and actual approval process together. Strong records and a clear allocation of authority help address signing risks, ownership changes and operational questions before they develop into internal conflict.
Foreigners 18/09/2023
A Vietnam visa application begins with the proposed purpose of entry. Tourism, employment, investment, study and family visits should not be treated as interchangeable categories, and permission to enter is different from authorization to work. Review nationality, passport validity, intended activities, entry points and travel dates. Consider whether an e-visa, an exemption or a sponsored application is available for the situation. Use the current official requirements for the relevant route; an old table of visa durations can be misleading.
Foreigners 23/09/2023
Employment compensation covers several different obligations. Salary, overtime pay, bonuses, severance and compensation following unlawful termination should be identified and calculated separately rather than grouped into a single figure. Compare the employment contract, collective agreement where applicable, workplace policies, attendance records and payslips. A discretionary bonus and an amount promised under an agreed policy may raise different issues. For an alleged underpayment, show the period, calculation and payment already received.
Foreigners 22/06/2026
Plan remote legal representation in Vietnam through case review, document preparation, clear authorization and controlled reporting for clients abroad. Agree on the scope before signing a power of attorney. The client should retain control over settlements and other major decisions, while counsel checks whether personal attendance or authenticated originals are required.
Foreigners 26/10/2023
Choosing an attorney firm should be based on the needs of the matter rather than a broad claim to be the best. A focused comparison helps a client understand who will do the work and what the engagement will cover. Explain the issue and ask which legal questions the firm would examine first. Relevant experience, staffing and the ability to explain uncertainty are more useful than an unqualified prediction of success. Check the lawyer's professional status and any conflict concerns.
Dispute 25/10/2025
A business receiving a lawsuit or procedural notice should identify the required response promptly. A calm, organized review is more useful than an immediate denial or an informal promise to resolve everything later. Keep the envelope or service record, claim documents and relevant contracts, correspondence, invoices and performance evidence. Identify the person authorized to instruct counsel. A lawyer can assess jurisdiction, deadlines, defenses and any counterclaim from the complete record.
Dispute 29/06/2026
Compare settlement, mediation and litigation in Vietnam using evidence, enforceability, urgency, cost and commercial objectives before choosing a strategy. A negotiated solution needs clear obligations and a credible enforcement route. Preserve deadlines while exploring compromise, and assess whether formal proceedings or a valid arbitration clause change the available options.
Dispute 29/07/2023
Dispute lawyers assess legal rights, organise evidence and help clients compare negotiation, mediation, arbitration and litigation. Their role includes managing procedural risks and explaining the strengths and limitations of a claim. The discussion describes the legal work involved in a dispute rather than promising success. Clients can use it to prepare the contracts, correspondence and questions needed for an informed first discussion.
Dispute 21/12/2023
Secret filming or unauthorized use of photographs can affect image rights, privacy and personal information. The consequences depend on what was recorded, how it was obtained or used and the circumstances; not every act automatically constitutes a criminal offence. Keep the original messages, dates, account details and evidence of publication where it is safe and lawful to do so. Avoid reposting intimate or private material while trying to prove what happened. Record any request for removal and response.
Divorce 21/10/2022
Legal assistance in a divorce should be matched to the family's actual issues. An initial review can distinguish the appropriate procedure, identify missing records and clarify which child, property or financial matters need agreement or a court decision. 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 09/09/2022
A marriage between a Vietnamese citizen and a foreign national can involve several legal systems. Before choosing the divorce procedure, consider the spouses' current residence, the location of children and assets, and the records available to prove the marriage. 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.
Divorce 16/09/2022
A person being out of contact is different from a court formally declaring that person missing. Where the legal conditions for a declaration are met, that decision can become relevant to a subsequent divorce request under Vietnamese family law. 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 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.
Investment 11/09/2023
A change to an investor's name, identity document or registered particulars should be assessed against the records of the investment project. An administrative update is different from a change in the investor or an acquisition of the investment. Compare the old and new documents and explain what has actually changed. A renamed corporate investor, a replaced passport and a transfer to a different investor may require different evidence and procedures. Do not treat every change as the same filing.
Investment 16/12/2023
The term investment licence can conceal several different procedures. A project may involve investment-policy approval, an investment registration certificate, enterprise registration and sector permissions, depending on the current framework and its facts. Describe the activity, investor, ownership, location and scale. Determine which procedures apply and which authority handles each. An approval described in general commercial language should not be treated as a universal document authorizing every project.
Investment 13/10/2025
Foreign property purchases in Vietnam should be assessed by reference to the buyer and the specific asset. Eligible housing ownership is different from owning land or acquiring unrestricted rights in every property. Review the buyer's status, project, property type and applicable restrictions or foreign ownership limits. Obtain the relevant project and seller documents and verify the information supporting the sale. A numerical quota alone does not establish that a particular unit is available to the buyer.
Investment 19/07/2023
An Investment Registration Certificate records information about an investment project. Determining whether a project needs one requires an assessment of the investor, proposed activities and applicable investment procedures. The article explains how project scope, capital, location and implementation plans fit into a registration review. Enterprise registration, sector licences and project approvals should be considered separately rather than treated as interchangeable documents.
