Company setup in Vietnam
Set up a company in Vietnam with a clear plan
We help foreign investors define the company structure, registration route, documents and post-registration tasks before filing starts. You receive advice for your business activity, ownership and location, not a generic checklist.

What to prepare for the first review
A useful first review needs six facts:
- ✓Investor nationality and identity
- ✓Planned business activities
- ✓Ownership percentages
- ✓Preferred city or province
- ✓Planned capital and funding source
- ✓Expected staff and foreign work-permit needs
Common questions
Is there one minimum capital amount for every foreign-owned company?
No. Vietnam does not set one general minimum for every company. The suitable amount depends on the activity, operating plan and any sector-specific rule.
How long does company setup take?
The time depends on the activity, market-access conditions, location, documents and whether separate approvals or licences are needed. We set a case-specific schedule after the first review.
Can I complete every step from outside Vietnam?
Some preparation can be done remotely. The need for travel, original documents, signatures or local appointments depends on the investor, bank and filing route.
Does MAIVN provide legal or tax advice?
MAIVN provides setup and document support. We involve qualified legal, tax and accounting professionals when formal advice or representation is required.
This service is advisory support. It does not replace formal legal, tax or accounting advice and does not guarantee an authority decision.
