I. Two Forms of Establishing a Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Company
When foreign investors wish to conduct business in Vietnam, the current legal framework provides two primary investment options. Depending on their business objectives and investment strategy, investors may choose one of the following approaches.
a. Establishing a 100% Foreign-Owned Company
Foreign investors may establish a company in Vietnam without any capital contribution from Vietnamese partners. Under this model, the foreign investor retains full ownership and has complete control over the management, operation, and strategic direction of the business.
This option is commonly chosen for industries such as trading, manufacturing, logistics, technology, and professional services.
Key advantages:
- Full control over the management and operation of the company;
- Better protection of proprietary technology, business processes, and commercial strategies;
- Greater flexibility in profit distribution and repatriation of profits abroad.
Important note:
Compared to establishing a domestic enterprise, the incorporation process for a wholly foreign-owned company is more complex. Foreign investors are generally required to complete the following two-step procedure:
- Obtain an Investment Registration Certificate (IRC); and
- Subsequently obtain an Enterprise Registration Certificate (ERC).
b. Acquiring Capital Contributions or Shares in an Existing Vietnamese Company
Instead of establishing a new company, foreign investors may participate in the Vietnamese market by acquiring shares or purchasing capital contributions in an existing Vietnamese enterprise.
Upon completion of the relevant procedures, the company will be recognized as a foreign-invested enterprise in accordance with applicable regulations.
Key advantages:
- Faster than establishing a new company from the ground up;
- No need to build a new operational structure;
- Immediate access to existing resources, including customers, employees, and operational systems.
Important note:
Foreign investors should carefully review the applicable foreign ownership restrictions and business line conditions. Certain sectors remain subject to foreign ownership limitations under Vietnamese law and Vietnam's international commitments.
II. Benefits of Establishing a Foreign-Invested Company
Making a lawful investment and fully complying with Vietnamese regulations not only ensures legal operation but also provides several significant advantages:
- Clear legal status: The company is officially recognized and may legally enter into contracts, conduct business activities, and recruit employees.
- Access to investment incentives: Certain industries and investment locations may qualify for tax incentives and administrative support.
- Enhanced credibility: Foreign-invested enterprises often enjoy greater trust from business partners, customers, and financial institutions.
- Reduced legal risks: Proper compliance from the outset helps avoid administrative penalties, operational disruptions, and unnecessary legal complications.
- Expanded business opportunities: Vietnam continues to be an attractive investment destination with competitive operating costs and a stable business environment.
Choosing the appropriate investment structure from the beginning is a crucial step toward achieving long-term business success in Vietnam.

IV. Common Challenges When Handling the Procedures Independently
Many foreign investors believe that preparing the required documents is sufficient to complete the incorporation process smoothly. In practice, however, the process often involves a number of unexpected challenges, including:
- Lack of familiarity with the legal requirements applicable to their specific investment project;
- Applications being returned for amendment due to incorrect forms or incomplete documentation;
- Lengthy legalization and certified translation procedures for foreign documents;
- Difficulties in proving financial capacity;
- Challenges when dealing with Vietnamese authorities;
- Risk of administrative penalties resulting from procedural errors or delayed compliance.
Many investors have found that handling the procedures on their own consumes considerable time and often leads to unexpected costs without achieving the desired outcome.
For this reason, engaging an experienced legal consulting firm from the outset has become an increasingly popular choice among foreign investors.
