Enterprise 27/03/2026
Review internal labor rules in Vietnam, including written policies, mandatory contents, consultation, registration and practical disciplinary risk control. Policies should match the employer's workforce and actual operations. Before relying on a disciplinary rule, confirm that the required consultation, communication, registration and supporting records have been handled correctly.

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 18/01/2026
Compare a Vietnam LLC and joint stock company, including ownership, governance, capital raising, transfer restrictions and practical structure selection. The suitable form depends on the number of investors, control arrangements and future funding plans. Review the charter and transfer mechanisms before incorporation so the structure supports both operations and eventual exit.
Enterprise 18/08/2026
Use a pre-FDI legal checklist for Vietnam covering market access, structure, approvals, capital accounts, local partners, contracts and compliance. Confirm the intended business activity and legal route before transferring funds. Due diligence and clear documentation can identify licensing, ownership and partner risks that are harder to correct after operations begin.
Foreigners 16/10/2023
Un client francophone a besoin d’une analyse liée aux faits et à la procédure applicable au Vietnam. Préparez un résumé, les documents complets, les notifications et les échéances. Clarifiez la langue de travail, les traductions, les livrables, les honoraires et le rôle de chaque intervenant avant de confier une consultation, une rédaction ou une représentation.

Clients should share relevant information carefully and use an agreed secure channel for sensitive case documents.
Foreigners 05/10/2023
Foreign nationals in Vietnam may need to address immigration, employment, civil and business requirements at the same time. A valid passport or residence document does not by itself establish permission for every activity. Identify the purpose of entry, lawful period of stay, work authorization and any proposed investment or professional activity. Different permissions serve different purposes. Family relationships, property transactions and disputes may also require their own legal analysis.
Foreigners 28/02/2024
A foreign employee's final payment should be assessed item by item. Severance allowance, job-loss allowance, unpaid salary and compensation following unlawful termination are different concepts and should not be used interchangeably. Review the ground for ending employment, actual service and relevant exclusions or prior payments. Nationality alone does not answer whether a particular allowance is payable. The contract and payroll history help identify the applicable basis and any additional agreed benefit.
Dispute 28/08/2023
A land dispute can concern boundaries, land use rights, a transaction or inheritance. Correctly identifying the dispute and the available land records is essential before selecting an administrative or court route. The discussion focuses on case preparation and the distinction between land use rights and related contractual or family claims. Current land legislation and procedural competence should be checked before any application is filed.
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.
Dispute 15/08/2024
International sales disputes can concern delivery, quality, payment or contract termination. The legal analysis begins with the complete agreement, the parties' places of business and the law or rules that govern the sale. Review purchase orders, specifications, delivery terms, transport records, inspection results and payment documents. Identify notices of non-conformity or default and when they were sent. A disagreement about goods should not be reduced to a general statement that a contract was breached.
Dispute 06/09/2023
A divorce judgment does not always resolve every disagreement about property. A later claim may concern assets omitted from the proceedings, competing ownership claims or an agreement that one former spouse has not performed. Distinguish common property from separate property using the acquisition history, source of funds, gifts, inheritance records and any marital property agreement. A name on a certificate is one part of the evidence; it does not answer every question about contributions or ownership.
Divorce 11/11/2022
A final divorce judgment does not make every parenting arrangement permanent. A later request to change the direct caregiver requires a legal basis and evidence focused on the child's interests, rather than dissatisfaction with the original result alone. The discussion considers the child’s welfare, the evidence parents can prepare and the practical effect of the proposed arrangement. It also distinguishes direct care from continuing support and contact obligations, so the request can be assessed on its own facts.
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 31/03/2026
Review visitation rights after divorce in Vietnam, lawful restrictions, evidence of obstruction and practical options for resolving parental contact disputes. Keep records of agreed schedules, attempted contact and the child's needs. Legal remedies should be assessed against the existing decision and current law, with a focus on safe, workable arrangements for the child.
Divorce 18/10/2022
An overseas marriage and its recording in Vietnamese civil-status records are related but separate matters. Before seeking divorce, clarify how the marriage is evidenced and recognised, which records are available and whether any preliminary administrative step is needed. 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 13/03/2026
Explore investment incentives under Vietnam's 2025 Investment Law, including eligible sectors, locations and the conditions behind potential benefits. Sector or location eligibility does not guarantee every tax or land-related benefit. Review the project's facts, applicable implementing rules and documentation before including incentives in a financial model.
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 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.
