Jurisdiction overview: Vietnam
Vietnam is one of the fastest-growing economies in Southeast Asia, offering a strategic geographic location, competitive operating costs, and strong government support for foreign investors. Company registration in Vietnam provides access to a domestic market of over 100 million people, a rapidly expanding middle class, and sustained demand for consumer goods, digital solutions, and logistics services.
Foreign investors may establish a 100% foreign-owned company (FIE) in most sectors of the economy. The standard legal form is a Limited Liability Company (LLC). Company incorporation is carried out through the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) and involves obtaining an Investment Registration Certificate (IRC) and an Enterprise Registration Certificate (ERC). The registration process is becoming increasingly transparent due to the digitalisation of government services.
Vietnam’s standard corporate income tax (CIT) rate is 20%. Reduced tax rates and tax holidays are available for priority sectors, including high technology, export-oriented manufacturing, logistics, education, and healthcare. The country actively develops industrial parks and special economic zones, offering customs and administrative incentives for manufacturers and exporters.
Thanks to competitive labour costs, participation in major free trade agreements (including EVFTA and CPTPP), ongoing infrastructure development, and stable economic growth, Vietnam has become a strategically attractive jurisdiction for scalable international business expansion in Asia.

Feedback from our clients on Google
Thanks to Finextwin for their professionalism. We registered a U.S. company for marketplace operations, and everything was done remotely. We've already entered the American market - all thanks to Finextwin's help.
I needed help with an Anjouan license for a new online casino project. A colleague referred me to Finextwin, and I’m glad they did. Everything was organized quickly, I received a clear list of documents, and they handled all communication with the regulator. We had the license in just 3 weeks. Great support throughout.
I was referred to Finextwin by a colleague for urgent company registration in Singapore. From the first email to receiving all the documents, it took exactly two weeks. Everything was handled remotely with excellent support. Really impressed with their professionalism.
