(3) 05 tips when investing in Vietnam?

- Market access conditions for foreign investors

For foreign investors accessing the Vietnamese market (doing business in restricted access industries), they must meet the conditions to invest in business industries on the List of business industries with limited market access for foreign investors according to the provisions of Article 9.2 of the Investment Law 2020. These include:
  • Business industries that have not yet been accessed the market
  • Business industries have conditional market access.

Market access conditions for foreign investors specified in the List of business industries with restricted market access for foreign investors include:

  • Charter capital ownership ratio of foreign investors in economic organizations;
  • Investment form;
  • Scope of investment activities;
  • Investor capacity; partners participating in investment activities;
  • Other conditions as prescribed in laws, resolutions of the National Assembly, ordinances, resolutions of the Standing Committee of the National Assembly, decrees of the Government and international treaties to which the Socialist Republic of Vietnam is a member.
Note: For some business industries, Vietnam’s specialized laws regulate legal capital such as life insurance business, credit business, banking... when choosing to invest in these industries in Vietnam, investors need to pay attention to preparing capital and the ability to mobilize capital so that applying for an investment license can go smoothly.

- Capital contribution account and capital contribution period

Foreign investors can choose to contribute capital in Vietnamese dong or foreign currency. To contribute capital to an enterprise, investors must do so through a direct investment capital account, referred to as “DICA account” (Direct Investment Capital Account). This DICA account will be used to manage and perform transactions related to investment capital. This account is used to carry out transactions related to investment capital including capital contribution, payment of foreign loans, project-related amounts and capital recovery.
Investors need to note that investment capital contributions must be made in accordance with the registered deadline shown on the Investment Registration Certificate. Past the deadline on the Investment Registration Certificate, the Bank opening the capital account may refuse to accept investment capital. Regarding charter capital, according to the provisions of the Enterprise Law 2020, investors must contribute capital within 90 days from the date the company is granted a Enterprise Registration Certificate. 

- Capital ownership ratio of foreign investors

When foreign investors want to contribute capital, buy shares, or contribute capital of Vietnamese enterprises, they need to research the provisions in the WTO Commitment Schedule that allow foreign investors to contribute capital at what rate. The ratio of foreign investors’ capital contribution depends on the type of industry the investor intends to invest in and contribute capital to.
Some industries specified in the WTO Commitment Schedule limit the capital contribution ratio of foreign investors such as the securities services industry (foreign investors’ capital contribution cannot exceed 49%), services Transporting goods by road (foreign investor’s capital contribution cannot exceed 51%), mining-related services (foreign investor’s capital contribution cannot exceed 51%)...
- Investment capital level
Current law does not stipulate a minimum level for investors’ contributed capital (except for industries requiring legal capital such as education, clinics, hospitals, air transport business, securities, etc.) However, the level of investment capital needs to be consistent with the company’s scale of operations based on the following criteria:
  • Investor’s financial ability and capacity
  • Scope, scale and field of operation of the company;
  • Actual operating costs of the company after establishment (because the company’s charter capital is for use in the company’s activities after establishment);
  • Value of contract to be signed with partner...
In addition, investors need to note the amount of capital contributed affects the application for a work permit and temporary residence card for investors. Contributed capital of 3 billion VND or more will be exempted from work permits and granted temporary residence cards. The duration of the temporary residence card will be longer if the investor contributes a higher capital.
- Project implementation location/company headquarters address
When renting a project location as well as the company headquarters address, investors need to choose a clear rental address, and the lessor must have full documents proving ownership and legal use.
The project location/headquarters of the company must not be located in residential apartments or dormitories. In case of being located in a mixed-use building, there must be a copy with documents proving that the leased portion is used for commercial purposes.
