FOREIGN INVESTORS ESTABLISHING A TOY MANUFACTURING COMPANY IN VIETNAM: CONDITIONS, PROCEDURES, AND KEY CONSIDERATIONS IN 2026
In recent years, Vietnam has continued to be an attractive destination for foreign investors seeking to expand their manufacturing activities, particularly in the production of toys, educational toys, models, and other products for children.
However, establishing a foreign-invested toy manufacturing company in Vietnam does not simply involve completing enterprise registration procedures. Foreign investors must also consider regulations on foreign investment, business lines, investment capital, factory location, environmental protection, fire prevention and fighting, product quality, and toy safety requirements.
As of March 1, 2026, the Law on Investment No. 143/2025/QH15 has officially taken effect, establishing a new legal framework for investment activities in Vietnam. Therefore, foreign investors intending to establish a toy manufacturing company should carefully review the applicable regulations before implementing their investment plans.

III. Conditions for Foreign Investors Establishing a Toy Manufacturing Company in Vietnam
Before preparing the application dossier, foreign investors should determine several fundamental conditions for establishing a toy manufacturing company.
Determine the Business Line
The enterprise must register appropriate business lines corresponding to its intended manufacturing activities.
For toy manufacturing activities, investors should consider VSIC business line code 3240 – Manufacture of Games and Toys.
The specific products should also be reviewed to determine whether any specialized regulations or technical standards apply.
Determine the Type of Toy Products
Investors should clearly identify the products they intend to manufacture, such as:
- Children's toys;
- Dolls and accessories;
- Plastic toys;
- Wooden toys;
- Fabric toys;
- Models;
- Educational toys;
- Construction and assembly toys;
- Electronic toys;
- Other games and toys.
Determining the exact products at the beginning of the investment process helps the enterprise identify the applicable product safety, quality, labeling, and conformity requirements.
Determine the Investment Capital
There is generally no single fixed statutory minimum investment capital applicable to every toy manufacturing project. However, the registered investment capital should be appropriate and feasible in relation to the scale of the project.
Investors should take into account:
- Factory rental or construction costs;
- Machinery and equipment;
- Production lines;
- Raw materials;
- Labor costs;
- Operating expenses;
- Environmental treatment costs;
- Working capital.
The investment capital should be reasonably structured to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed investment project.
Determine the Factory Location
The factory location is an important consideration for a foreign-invested manufacturing project.
Investors should review:
- Land-use planning;
- Permitted use of the premises for manufacturing;
- Factory infrastructure;
- Fire prevention and fighting requirements;
- Environmental requirements;
- Technical infrastructure;
- Production scale and capacity.
The factory should be located in an area suitable for the proposed manufacturing activities and comply with applicable construction, environmental, and fire safety regulations.
Comply with Toy Safety Requirements
Where the products fall within the scope of children's toys, the enterprise must pay particular attention to applicable technical regulations on children's toy safety.
Before products are placed on the Vietnamese market, the enterprise may be required to comply with relevant requirements concerning:
Product safety;
Conformity assessment;
Conformity declaration;
Product labeling;
Conformity marks;
Applicable technical standards and regulations.
Therefore, product compliance should be considered from the project planning stage rather than only after the factory has commenced production.

The investor carries out the investment registration procedure and obtains an Investment Registration Certificate (IRC) where required by law.
The Law on Investment No. 143/2025/QH15, effective from March 1, 2026, is an important legal basis governing investment activities in Vietnam.
Step 4: Establish the Company
After completing the applicable investment procedures, the investor carries out enterprise registration procedures to obtain the Enterprise Registration Certificate (ERC).
