FOREIGN INVESTORS ESTABLISHING AN ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE COMPANY IN VIETNAM: CONDITIONS, PROCEDURES, AND KEY CONSIDERATIONS IN 2026
In recent years, Vietnam has become an increasingly attractive destination for foreign investors seeking opportunities in the electrical appliance, consumer electronics, household appliances, and retail sectors.

Under the current legal framework, foreign investors intending to establish an electrical appliance company in Vietnam should determine the proposed business activities and investment structure before implementing the investment project.

I. Foreign Investors Establishing an Electrical Appliance Company in Vietnam: Can Foreigners Establish an Electrical Appliance Company?
Foreign investors may establish and operate an electrical appliance company in Vietnam, subject to applicable regulations on foreign investment and market access.
Depending on the proposed business model, foreign investors may consider:
- Establishing an economic organization with foreign investment capital;
- Contributing capital to or purchasing shares or capital contributions in an existing Vietnamese company;
- Establishing a company to conduct manufacturing activities;
- Establishing a company to conduct import and wholesale distribution activities;
- Establishing a company to conduct retail distribution activities, where the applicable conditions are satisfied;
Entering into other investment structures permitted under Vietnamese law.
For foreign-invested companies conducting import, wholesale, or retail distribution of goods, investors should carefully determine whether the proposed activities fall within the scope of trading and goods distribution activities subject to specific conditions and licensing requirements.
In particular, a foreign-invested company intending to conduct retail distribution may need to obtain a Business License and, depending on the proposed retail model, a Retail Outlet Establishment License. The Ministry of Industry and Trade's current administrative procedures continue to regulate these procedures under the framework applicable to foreign-invested economic organizations.
Therefore, investors should determine the intended business model, product groups, distribution method, and foreign ownership structure before preparing the investment application dossier.

For trading and distribution activities, investors should review Vietnam's market access commitments and applicable regulations before deciding whether to establish a wholly foreign-owned company or a joint venture structure.
Where the company intends to conduct retail distribution, additional licensing requirements may apply.

The company must register business lines corresponding to its actual activities.
Depending on the proposed business model, investors may consider business lines relating to:
- Manufacture of electrical equipment;
- Manufacture of domestic appliances;
- Wholesale of household electrical appliances;
- Wholesale of electronic equipment and components;
- Retail sale of electrical household appliances;
- Import and distribution activities, where applicable.
- The specific business lines should be reviewed according to the actual products and activities of the company.
Determine the Investment Capital
There is generally no single fixed statutory minimum investment capital applicable to every electrical appliance investment project.
However, the registered investment capital should be appropriate and feasible in relation to the scale and nature of the proposed business.
Investors should take into account:
- Office or showroom rental costs;
- Warehouse rental costs;

- Warehouse requirements;
- Manufacturing location requirements;
- Permitted use of the premises;
- Fire prevention and fighting requirements, where applicable;
