SET UP FOREIGN COMPANY IN VIETNAM: LEGAL CONDITIONS AND PROCEDURES FOR PHILIPPINE INVESTORS TO ESTABLISH A COMPANY IN VIETNAM
The strengthening of economic and investment relations between Vietnam and the Philippines has created increasing opportunities for Philippine investors seeking to establish a business presence in Vietnam. As ASEAN member states, Vietnam and the Philippines maintain close economic ties, with bilateral trade and investment cooperation continuing to expand. In 2026, the two countries further strengthened their bilateral relationship, creating additional opportunities for enterprises and investors from both markets.
For Philippine investors, establishing a company in Vietnam may provide a suitable structure for conducting business activities and developing a long-term presence in the Vietnamese market. However, unlike domestic investors, Philippine investors are subject to the legal framework applicable to foreign investors when establishing an economic organization in Vietnam.

I. Set up foreign company in Vietnam: market access conditions for Philippine investors
Before establishing a company in Vietnam, Philippine investors should first determine whether their proposed business activities are open to foreign investors and whether any specific market access conditions apply.
Under Vietnamese investment law, foreign investors are generally entitled to market access under conditions applicable to domestic investors, except for sectors and business activities subject to restricted market access. Accordingly, the nationality of the investor alone does not determine whether an investment project may be implemented. The investor must also consider the specific business lines, ownership structure and form of investment proposed in Vietnam.
II. Set up foreign company in Vietnam: investment registration and preparation of the application dossier
After determining that the proposed business activities are legally accessible to Philippine investors, the investor should proceed with the applicable investment registration procedure.
The investment application dossier generally needs to demonstrate information concerning the investor and the proposed investment project. Depending on the specific project, the dossier may include documents identifying the Philippine investor, documents evidencing the investor’s legal status, information concerning the investment project, proposed investment capital, project implementation schedule and other documents required under Vietnamese investment regulations. For an organizational investor from the Philippines, corporate documents issued by the competent Philippine authority may need to be prepared in a form acceptable for use in Vietnam.

III. Set up foreign company in Vietnam: enterprise registration and establishment of the company
After completing the applicable investment registration procedure, the Philippine investor may proceed with enterprise registration in Vietnam.
At this stage, the investor must determine the appropriate type of enterprise based on its intended ownership and management structure. Common structures include a single-member limited liability company, a multi-member limited liability company and a joint stock company.
The enterprise registration dossier generally includes the application for enterprise registration, the company charter, information concerning the members or shareholders, and identification documents relating to the legal representative and relevant investors.
IV. Set up foreign company in Vietnam: order of procedures and important consideration for Philippine investors
For Philippine investors establishing a new company in Vietnam, the establishment process should generally be approached in a sequential manner. The investor should first identify the proposed business activities and review the applicable market access conditions. After determining the appropriate investment structure, the investor prepares the investment application dossier and completes the applicable investment registration procedure.
The consistency of information throughout the process is particularly important. The proposed business lines, investment capital, charter capital, ownership structure, project location and corporate structure should be carefully considered before submission because changes to these matters may require amendments to the relevant investment or enterprise registration documents.
