LawyersInVietnam.com shares practical legal guidance from Jurion & Partners Law Firm for foreign individuals, international investors and businesses in Vietnam. Explore corporate and investment matters, commercial disputes, employment, immigration, property and family law. Our articles help you identify legal risks, organize relevant documents and prepare questions for a lawyer. For matters involving Vietnam and another country, start with a clear assessment of the applicable procedure and your priorities.
Enterprise 12/10/2026
Assess legal representation in Vietnam without travel, covering remote tasks, documents, authorization, communication and risks for overseas clients. Begin with the facts, deadlines and scans, then confirm which originals or formalities are needed. A clear engagement should explain the representative's powers, reporting process and any personal participation that remains necessary.
Enterprise 25/10/2025
An e-commerce business should align its legal documents with how the service actually works. A marketplace, online retailer and service platform may face different obligations and risks. Review the operator, sellers, payment flow, product information, pricing and order process. Determine the relevant registration or notification requirements and sector conditions. Terms of service should be readable and consistent with the business's actual cancellation, refund and delivery practices.
Enterprise 04/01/2024
The term FDI enterprise describes foreign participation but does not create a single package of rights and obligations for every business. Ownership, activities and transaction history should be reviewed together. Identify direct and indirect foreign ownership, the company form and the registered project or business activities. Conditions may differ by sector and investment route. A business should not assume that all foreign-invested companies face the same ownership limit or minimum capital.
Enterprise 15/11/2025
Understand employment contract types in Vietnam, essential terms, probation, renewal risks and practical contract review for foreign employers. Contract terms should reflect the actual role, compensation, working arrangements and applicable employment protections. Review confidentiality, termination and work authorization together with the supporting HR policies.
Foreigners 18/09/2023
A Vietnam visa application begins with the proposed purpose of entry. Tourism, employment, investment, study and family visits should not be treated as interchangeable categories, and permission to enter is different from authorization to work. Review nationality, passport validity, intended activities, entry points and travel dates. Consider whether an e-visa, an exemption or a sponsored application is available for the situation. Use the current official requirements for the relevant route; an old table of visa durations can be misleading.
Foreigners 28/03/2026
Understand litigation support for foreign clients in Vietnam, from jurisdiction and evidence preparation to court participation and judgment enforcement. Review the current court structure and the specific claim before filing. Foreign-language documents, authorization limits and overseas service can affect preparation even when the substantive dispute appears straightforward.
Foreigners 01/08/2025
A judgment obtained abroad does not automatically produce recovery from a debtor in Vietnam. Recognition, where required, and civil judgment enforcement are separate stages, each with its own conditions and evidence. Review the originating court, finality, service on the debtor and the relevant treaty or other legal basis. Identify the correct Vietnamese jurisdiction and filing requirements for the case. A business should not assume that every application belongs in the same city or succeeds under a general principle of international comity.
Foreigners 13/11/2023
Sponsorship for a foreign visitor requires attention to both the inviting party and the person's purpose of entry. The sponsor should understand its role before submitting information or accepting responsibility for the visit. Confirm the organization's legal status, signing authority and relationship with the visitor. The stated purpose should match the supporting evidence and planned activities. Sponsorship for entry should not be confused with permission to employ the person.
Dispute 23/10/2023
A deposit dispute may arise when a proposed property transfer cannot proceed or one party refuses to complete it. The legal effect depends on the agreement, the conduct of the parties and the status of the proposed transaction. Identify the property, the party receiving the deposit, the signing authority and the conditions for the main transfer. An apparent promise to sell does not establish that the transaction is legally available. Keep advertisements and representations alongside the signed documents.
Dispute 21/12/2023
Secret filming or unauthorized use of photographs can affect image rights, privacy and personal information. The consequences depend on what was recorded, how it was obtained or used and the circumstances; not every act automatically constitutes a criminal offence. Keep the original messages, dates, account details and evidence of publication where it is safe and lawful to do so. Avoid reposting intimate or private material while trying to prove what happened. Record any request for removal and response.
Dispute 01/08/2023
Internal enterprise disputes often concern ownership, voting, management powers or the handling of company assets. The charter and corporate records are central to understanding the parties' positions. This guide explains how negotiation and formal proceedings can be considered together while preserving business continuity, evidence and the rights of the company, its members and managers.
Dispute 22/07/2023
Commercial arbitration can offer parties a private and flexible process for an eligible dispute, but its suitability depends on the arbitration agreement, costs, evidence and enforcement needs. It is not automatically faster or preferable in every case. The article explains the potential advantages and the questions businesses should consider when drafting a dispute clause or responding to an existing claim, without promising a particular timetable or result.
Divorce 16/09/2022
A person being out of contact is different from a court formally declaring that person missing. Where the legal conditions for a declaration are met, that decision can become relevant to a subsequent divorce request under Vietnamese family law. The discussion separates legal requirements from practical preparation and identifies the issues to clarify before taking the next step. It explains why the documents, degree of agreement and specific relief requested should guide the approach rather than a general promise about timing or outcome.
Divorce 26/12/2025
Review child custody and support after divorce in Vietnam, including care arrangements, financial evidence, visitation and the role of legal advice. Parents should organize evidence of daily care, housing, schooling, income and the child's needs. Practical proposals should distinguish direct care, support and contact while keeping the child's welfare central.
Divorce 21/10/2022
A property agreement should say what each spouse will receive and how the arrangement will be implemented. Clear descriptions, reliable ownership records and a realistic treatment of loans or third-party rights can prevent later disagreement about its effect. The discussion considers the acquisition records, agreements and financial evidence that can affect the assessment. It separates ownership questions from the practical implementation of a settlement and highlights why assumptions about equal shares or liability should be checked against the facts.
Divorce 26/08/2022
Some divorce issues appear straightforward until disagreements about children, documents or assets emerge. A lawyer can help assess those risks, explain available options and prepare a consistent position, without promising that representation will secure a particular result. The discussion separates legal requirements from practical preparation and identifies the issues to clarify before taking the next step. It explains why the documents, degree of agreement and specific relief requested should guide the approach rather than a general promise about timing or outcome.
Investment 15/08/2024
An acquisition can provide access to an existing business, but it also requires careful assessment of that business's legal position. A share purchase, subscription and company merger allocate risks differently. Review ownership, corporate authority, licences, land or premises, material contracts, employment, tax and disputes. Identify missing records and contingent obligations. The structure and price should be considered alongside legal findings rather than before the scope of due diligence is agreed.
Investment 03/04/2026
Understand investment project approval under Vietnam's 2025 Investment Law, including classification, competent authority and preparation before filing. In-principle approval and investment registration serve different functions. Confirm the applicable route and authority for the actual project before adopting a timetable or treating company registration as permission to operate.
Investment 28/11/2023
Foreign individuals and foreign-invested enterprises should not assume that the same property rights are available to each of them. Housing ownership, a commercial lease and land use for an investment project involve different legal questions. Review nationality or corporate status, the type of asset, project eligibility and the proposed use. A foreign individual should not treat an agreement with a nominee as equivalent to a lawful registered right. The available structure must fit both the investor and the asset.
Investment 12/09/2023
A creditor's need to recover an unpaid debt does not justify threats, pressure tactics or the use of a prohibited business service. A restriction on the debt collection service business is different from the lawful enforcement of a creditor's contractual rights. Identify the contract, delivery or transfer of funds, maturity date and payments already made. A disputed invoice, an overdue loan and a debt acknowledged in a settlement require different factual analysis. Check who owes the debt and whether the claimant has standing to demand payment.
