A foreign resident considering unilateral divorce needs an assessment of jurisdiction and the grounds supporting the request. Permanent residence alone should not be presented as a universal test for whether a Vietnamese court can hear the matter. Explain the nationalities, places of residence, marriage registration and any related proceedings abroad. Identify the spouse's current address and participation position. These facts help determine the appropriate filing and the treatment of foreign documents.

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.

A consensual international divorce works best when both spouses understand the required documents and participation arrangements. The joint file should explain the marriage and the agreed child or financial terms, while identifying any overseas records that need formal preparation. 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 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.
Dispute 19/09/2026
Organize evidence before dispute proceedings in Vietnam, including contracts, electronic communications, losses, authority records and procedural review. Link each record to the facts that need proof instead of submitting an unstructured archive. Early review helps protect originals, identify missing materials and compare settlement, arbitration and court options.
Dispute 26/05/2026
Prepare for commercial dispute litigation in Vietnam with guidance on contracts, jurisdiction, evidence, negotiation, claims and enforcement considerations. Assess the dispute clause and commercial objective before issuing a claim. A well-organized chronology and complete performance record help counsel compare settlement with formal proceedings and explain the risks.
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.
Divorce 29/08/2023
Dividing property after divorce begins with identifying whether an asset is common or separate and reviewing any valid property arrangement. The source of the funds and supporting records matter as much as the name on a document. The article describes a structured approach to the asset inventory and the points that commonly cause disagreement. It does not assume that every asset acquired during marriage must be divided in the same way.
Divorce 22/10/2022
A custody proposal should explain how the child's daily care, education and emotional needs will be met. Parents should also consider support and continuing contact with the other parent, rather than treating direct care as the end of all shared responsibilities. 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 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 30/08/2022
A parent living overseas may face additional evidence and participation questions in a Vietnamese custody dispute. Nationality or residence alone should not replace analysis of the child's needs, the proposed care plan and the practical ability to maintain parental relationships. 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.
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 22/05/2024
A foreign investor should distinguish conditions on market access from conditions that apply to conducting a regulated activity. Satisfying one set does not automatically satisfy the other. A broad label such as healthcare, education, finance or telecommunications can cover several activities with different requirements. Identify the actual service, customers and delivery model and assess the relevant foreign-investment and sector 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 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.
