Registry Vietnam Business License Application and Permit Services

As part of establishing a 100 percent foreign-owned enterprise (100% FOE) or a joint venture (JV) in Vietnam, a foreign investor must go through a series of licensing procedures before being entitled to conduct business in Vietnam.

An investor must first engage in an investment project and prepare an application dossier (file) to apply for an Investment Certificate (IC), which is also considered to be the business registration for the enterprise. The IC is the official license allowing foreign investors to carry out business activities in Vietnam.

For projects that require registration, the issuance of an IC takes about 15 working days. For projects subject to evaluation, the time it takes to obtain an IC is likely to vary. Projects not requiring the Prime Minister’s approval take 20 to 25 working days, while projects that do need such approval take approximately 37 working days.
