Investment Licensing & FDI Services in Vietnam

Expanding your business into the Vietnamese market offers immense opportunities, but navigating the local regulatory landscape requires specialized expertise. At VNL Toimisto, we accompany foreign investors from the initial idea to real-world operation. With a team of experienced lawyers and specialists, we provide a full-package service—from investment licensing to legal, accounting, and operational support for FDI enterprises in Vietnam.

1. Investment Registration Certificate (IRC) Consulting

The first step for any foreign investor is securing the legal right to invest. We provide strategic solutions to optimize your capital structure and business lines:

  • Strategic advice on suitable investment models (100% foreign-owned, joint ventures, or capital contributions).
  • In-depth analysis of permitted business sectors under WTO, CPTPP, and EVFTA frameworks.
  • Full preparation and submission of Investment Registration Certificate (IRC) dossiers.
  • Direct representation and liaison with the provincial Department of Finance (which took over investment registration from the former Department of Planning & Investment) and industrial zone authorities.
