Yes. in many ways.

Foreigners registering a new business in Vietnam are notably required to open a capital account in the country, which they will have to use in other to inject their company’s share capital.

Not necessarily. A foreign investor may set up a new legal entity as a wholly foreign-owned enterprise (“WFOE”) or as a JV (and contribute capital to this entity): in this case, an investor must apply both for an investment registration certifcate (“IRC”) and an enterprise registration certifcate (“ERC”), which was formerly called a business registration certifcate (“BRC”). A foreign investor may also contribute capital to an existing legal entity in Vietnam, which does not require an issuance of an IRC or ERC.

Thus, in respect of foreign investors carrying out their frst project in Vietnam, the incorporation of the Vietnamese legal entity takes place simultaneously with the licensing of their frst project. In other words, a foreign investor cannot incorporate a legal entity without a project. However, subsequent to the frst project, an investor may carry out additional projects either using the established legal entity or by setting up a new entity.

A foreign investor (just like a local investor) may select one of the following Vietnamese legal entities to carry out a project:

  • A limited liability company (“LLC”), in the form of either a single-member LLC (“SLLC”) or an LLC with two or more (up to a maximum of 50) members (“MLLC”).
  • A shareholding or joint stock company (“JSC”) which is a company with at least three shareholders but no maximum number of shareholders.
  • A general partnership or a limited liability partnership.
  • A private enterprise (akin to a sole proprietorship).

The two main factors that lead a foreign investor to choose a JV are:

  • (i) some business sectors in Vietnam require a JV to establish a commercial presence in Vietnam; and
  • (ii) the Vietnamese party has a key asset, local know-how and knowledge, or other factors that make the JV the preferred choice.

For example, in real estate development projects, the Vietnamese party usually has the land use rights, which by law cannot be directly transferred to a foreign investor, but may be contributed into a JV.
