**FAQ**

## Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions.

### What legal structures are available for foreign investors in Vietnam?

Foreign investors can establish a presence in Vietnam through several key vehicles:

- 100% Foreign-Owned Enterprise (FOE): The most common choice, taking the form of a Limited Liability Company (LLC) or a Joint Stock Company (JSC).
- Joint Venture Enterprise (JV): Formed with a Vietnamese partner, often required in conditional market sectors (e.g., advertising, transport, telecommunications).
- Representative Office (RO): Ideal for market research, networking, and liaison, but cannot engage in revenue-generating commercial activities.
- Branch Office: Permitted only in specific regulated sectors such as banking, insurance, and legal services.
- Business Cooperation Contract (BCC): A contractual arrangement without setting up a new local legal entity.

### Can foreign companies buy land or factories in Vietnam?

Under Vietnam’s Land Law:

- Private ownership of land is not permitted; land is collectively owned and managed by the State.
- Foreign-invested enterprises (FIEs) can lease land or rent ready-built factories (RBF) in industrial parks/zones for terms typically up to 50 years (extendable to 70 years in special circumstances).
- Real Estate Projects: FIEs with appropriate business scope can develop real estate for lease or sale within legally permitted guidelines.

### What is the minimum charter capital requirement?

Vietnam’s Law on Investment generally does not specify a universal minimum charter capital for most business lines. However:

- The registered capital must be sufficient and reasonable to cover operational expenses and execute the proposed project scale.
- Certain statutory sectors carry strict capital minimums (e.g., Banking, Real Estate Development, Air Transport, Logistics, etc.).
- Capital Contribution Deadline: Injected within 90 days from the issuance date of the Enterprise Registration Certificate (ERC).

### What bank accounts must a foreign-invested enterprise open?

Foreign direct investment activities in Vietnam are governed by strict State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) foreign exchange regulations:

1. Direct Investment Capital Account (DICA): A specialized bank account (in foreign currency or VND) required for injection of equity capital, disbursements of foreign loans, and repatriating profits/capital.
2. Current Operating Account: Used for daily local operational transactions (paying salaries, rent, vendor payments, local tax liabilities).
3. Indirect Investment Capital Account (IICA): For non-direct foreign investors purchasing shares, bonds, or public securities.
