I. Company Registration In Vietnam: What investment incentives are available to foreigners setting up a company in Ho Chi Minh City?
Investment incentives are an important consideration for foreign investors planning to establish a company in Vietnam. Depending on the investment project and whether it meets the applicable eligibility requirements, investors may benefit from various incentive policies, such as corporate income tax exemptions or reductions, import tax exemptions, reductions or exemptions from land-related fees, land rent incentives, and land use tax incentives.
In addition, foreigners who are legal representatives, owners, members, or shareholders of a company in Vietnam may be eligible for certain residence policies. Depending on the relevant conditions, foreign investors may apply for an investment visa or temporary residence status, with the maximum validity depending on the applicable visa category and investment conditions.
II. Company Registration In Vietnam: What types of companies can foreigners establish in Ho Chi Minh City?
Foreign investors, whether individuals or organizations, may establish a foreign-invested company in Vietnam under several common forms, including:
- One-member limited liability company: A single foreign investor owns 100% of the company's charter capital.
- Two or more-member limited liability company: The company has at least two members contributing capital. Profits, losses, rights, and obligations are generally distributed according to each member's capital contribution.

IV. Company Registration In Vietnam: What taxes and operating expenses are payable after setting up a company in Ho Chi Minh City?
Paying taxes is one of the mandatory obligations of companies operating in Vietnam, including enterprises with foreign investment.
After establishing a company in Ho Chi Minh City, the business may be subject to various taxes depending on its activities, including value-added tax (VAT), corporate income tax (CIT), and personal income tax (PIT).
In addition to tax obligations, the company may also incur regular operating expenses, such as employee salaries and wages, compulsory insurance contributions, office or business premises rent, and other expenses related to its business operations.
V. Company Registration In Vietnam: Can foreigners own 100% of the capital in a company established in Ho Chi Minh City?
As a general principle, where a business sector is not included in the list of sectors subject to restricted market access for foreign investors, foreign investors are generally subject to the same market access conditions as domestic investors. Accordingly, foreign investors may be permitted to hold 100% of the charter capital of a company operating in such sectors, unless another restriction applies.
For business sectors subject to restrictions on foreign market access, the permitted foreign ownership ratio and other applicable conditions must be determined based on the relevant Vietnamese laws and regulations, Vietnam's list of restricted market access sectors, and applicable international treaties to which Vietnam is a party.
VI. Company Registration In Vietnam: Can a foreigner stay in Vietnam for 5 years after setting up a company in Ho Chi Minh City?
Vietnamese immigration regulations provide different types of DT investment visas, including DT1, DT2, DT3, and DT4, for foreign investors and representatives of foreign organizations investing in Vietnam. The duration and category of the investment visa depend primarily on the investor's capital contribution and other applicable conditions.
For example, a foreign investor contributing VND 50 billion to less than VND 100 billion may be eligible for a DT2 visa with a validity period of up to 5 years, subject to the applicable legal requirements.
Therefore, establishing a company in Ho Chi Minh City can provide a legal basis for a foreign investor to apply for an appropriate investment visa or temporary residence status, depending on the investor's capital contribution and the specific circumstances.
