Enterprise 07/09/2026
Plan ongoing legal support for foreign-owned companies in Vietnam through contract control, HR compliance, corporate changes and dispute prevention. Periodic legal review should match the company's sector, staffing and transaction volume. Address new activities, key contracts and shareholder concerns while there is time to compare options and prepare supporting records.
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 22/07/2023
Moving a company's registered office involves more than changing the address on its stationery. Corporate approvals, the registration record, premises rights and related licences should be reviewed together. The original article concerns a move within the same district. This guide retains that context while focusing on the current administrative location and the practical documents needed to record the change consistently.
Enterprise 10/11/2025
Foreign employers should assess Vietnam termination decisions under the applicable local framework rather than assume that an overseas policy can be used unchanged. The chosen legal ground and actual evidence determine the procedure to examine. Expiry, agreement, unilateral termination, redundancy and disciplinary dismissal are distinct. Review the contract, internal rules and evidence before deciding how to proceed. Paying notice does not automatically make an otherwise unsupported termination lawful.
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.
Foreigners 16/03/2026
Learn how foreigners can choose a lawyer in Vietnam by checking professional status, relevant experience, communication, scope and fee arrangements. Ask who will handle the matter and how advice will be communicated. Review a written engagement and assess the proposed strategy on evidence and legal requirements, rather than promises of influence or guaranteed results.
Foreigners 28/02/2024
A family visit does not automatically establish eligibility for every family-related visa or residence category. The visitor's nationality, relationship and sponsor's status should be reviewed before selecting the application route. Prepare documents establishing the family connection and the sponsor's identity or residence status. A particular category may apply only to defined relationships and circumstances. Where documents were issued abroad, review the formalities needed for their intended use.
Foreigners 16/03/2026
Find practical guidance on English-speaking lawyers in Vietnam, available legal services, fee transparency and preparation for foreign clients. Compare relevant expertise and communication rather than relying on broad marketing claims. Prepare the documents, deadlines and desired outcome so counsel can propose a suitable scope and explain realistic procedural 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 07/08/2023
Some individual labour disputes are exempt from the usual requirement for prior labour mediation. Identifying the type of claim and applicable time limit is essential before deciding how and where to file. The article distinguishes an exemption from mediation from the wider requirements for a valid lawsuit. Employment documents, the challenged decision and the remedy requested should be reviewed together before proceedings begin.
Dispute 19/08/2024
Ending a foreign employee's contract can affect both employment rights and the basis for work and residence in Vietnam. These issues should be coordinated, but one should not be used to bypass the other. Review whether the proposed end arises from agreement, expiry, unilateral action, discipline or a workforce change. Each route requires its own analysis. A force-majeure label or an immigration issue should not be assumed to remove all procedural and payment obligations.
Dispute 23/10/2023
Land disputes often involve a long history of use, incomplete records and competing accounts of agreements made years earlier. A legal assessment should begin with that history and the precise right in dispute. Gather certificates, allocation or transfer documents, maps, payment records and any previous settlement. Identify the actual parcel and the parties using it. A certificate is important, but the dispute and applicable procedure should not be decided from one document alone.
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.
Divorce 21/09/2026
Prepare a foreign marriage certificate for divorce in Vietnam, including translation, authentication, missing originals, identity consistency and court review. A certificate may establish the marriage without deciding court jurisdiction. Check the issuing authority, names, complete translations and available replacement records before filing or relying on an uncertified scan.
Divorce 16/08/2022
When a divorce has foreign elements and one spouse does not agree, jurisdiction and proper notice deserve early attention. Residence, nationality, the respondent's location and the available documents can affect both the procedure and the preparation required. 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 22/10/2022
A divorce service should begin with a review of the marriage, the parties' location and the decisions they need. Defining the scope of assistance helps distinguish document preparation and advice from personal participation requirements that remain with the spouses. 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 13/11/2023
A construction investment project requires a coordinated legal and technical plan. The appropriate documents and approvals depend on the project, funding, site and nature of the works. Review the proposed land use, planning status, investment arrangements and technical studies. Identify which design, environmental, fire-safety and construction requirements apply. Work with technical advisers so the legal filing reflects the actual design and intended operation.
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.
Investment 04/01/2024
BCC refers to a Business Cooperation Contract, while Build-Transfer-Operate is commonly abbreviated BTO. These are different concepts. The intended structure must be clarified before a legal assessment can be meaningful. A business cooperation contract sets out cooperation between investors without creating a new economic organization for that arrangement. A BTO infrastructure project involves a different public-private project structure. The parties, project and legal framework should be identified rather than combining the two descriptions.
Investment 04/09/2025
Enterprise registration and investment registration serve different purposes. Legal support should explain which procedures apply to the proposed business and how the work will be coordinated. Review the investors, activities, location, capital and management plan. Determine whether an IRC or other investment procedure is required under the current framework and how it connects to enterprise registration. Sector permissions may require separate work.
