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.

Foreigners 16/08/2022
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.
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.
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.

Dispute 19/06/2026
Review employment lawyer support in Vietnam for foreign employees and employers, including contracts, workplace rules, termination and labor disputes. Assess the contract, compensation records and procedural history before resigning or terminating employment. Legal advice can help compare negotiation and dispute options while addressing work authorization and final-payment issues.
Dispute 16/10/2023
A loan dispute requires a clear account of what was advanced, when repayment became due and what has already been paid. The existence of a signed contract is helpful, but the surrounding payment evidence may be equally important. Separate principal, agreed interest, alleged default charges and other sums. Match each figure to the loan agreement and bank or receipt records. A disputed interest provision requires legal review rather than an assumption that every amount written in the contract is enforceable.
Divorce 17/08/2022
A divorce lawyer helps turn family concerns into clear legal requests supported by relevant records. Advice may cover settlement discussions, procedural preparation and the protection of children's and financial interests, while the court remains responsible for deciding the case. 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 15/11/2022
A consensual divorce file should show both voluntary agreement and workable family arrangements. Preparing accurate marriage records and clearly recording the terms on children and finances helps the court assess the request without unnecessary ambiguity. 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 14/10/2025
Child custody involving a foreign parent should focus on the child's interests and the evidence supporting a workable care arrangement. Nationality or income alone should not be presented as deciding the case. Describe existing care, schooling, health, living arrangements and the relationship with each parent. Prepare evidence of time, housing, support and practical caregiving. The child's views and the rules relevant to age should be assessed within the applicable family-law framework, rather than treated as an automatic choice of parent.
Divorce 29/08/2022
Recognition of consensual divorce is a court procedure, not simply registration of a private decision. The spouses should present a genuine joint request and explain their arrangements for children and property in terms the court can assess. 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 09/11/2023
A securities investment company is a regulated structure and should not be confused with an ordinary company that invests its own surplus funds. The proposed model determines which specialized rules and approvals require examination. Clarify whether the proposal involves a public or private structure, who will provide capital and who will manage it. Review the roles of any fund manager, custodian and governing body. Investor eligibility and capital evidence should be assessed under the current securities framework.
Investment 21/02/2024
Public-private partnership projects combine a public-service objective with a contractual investment structure. A foreign investor should assess the specific project and applicable PPP framework rather than treat the model as a general investment licence. Identify the public authority, proposed contract type, selection process and expected revenue source. Legal due diligence should examine land, approvals, environmental requirements and the relationship between project documents. Financial assumptions should be tested alongside the legal conditions.
Investment 15/08/2023
Foreign investment capital enters Vietnam through transactions and projects with different legal requirements. Investors should connect the proposed funding route with ownership conditions, approvals, banking arrangements and the business plan. The discussion considers the opportunities together with their conditions. Incentives and market entry permissions should be verified for the particular project rather than assumed from a general description of an industry.
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.
