Revocation of a household business registration raises different issues from the revocation or dissolution of a company. The notice, legal grounds and response deadline should be identified before deciding what action to take. The guide focuses on preparing the registration and compliance records needed for advice, while separating household business rules from enterprise procedures and avoiding reliance on superseded registration provisions.

Consular legalization concerns the formal recognition of signatures, seals or official capacity on a document for use abroad. It does not, by itself, confirm the truth of every statement or establish that a marriage application meets all substantive conditions. Identify the record required for the actual registration procedure and obtain it from the appropriate source. Review validity, name consistency and whether an exemption from legalization applies. An apostille issued abroad should not be assumed sufficient for use in Vietnam without checking the applicable framework.

Prepare a power of attorney for Vietnam with guidance on permitted tasks, foreign documents, settlement limits and representation for overseas clients. Define the matter and powers precisely before execution. Counsel should confirm which acts can be delegated and how authentication, translations and original-document requirements affect the proposed local procedure.

Understand social insurance issues for foreign employees in Vietnam, including participation, payroll records, benefits, termination and employer compliance. Eligibility and contributions should be reviewed with the contract, assignment and applicable exclusions. Employees should check actual participation records, while employers coordinate payroll, final settlement and related HR documents.
Dispute 16/10/2023
A loan dispute requires a clear account of what was advanced, when repayment became due and what has already been paid. The existence of a signed contract is helpful, but the surrounding payment evidence may be equally important. Separate principal, agreed interest, alleged default charges and other sums. Match each figure to the loan agreement and bank or receipt records. A disputed interest provision requires legal review rather than an assumption that every amount written in the contract is enforceable.
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.
Dispute 26/12/2025
Learn practical lessons from business disputes in Vietnam, focusing on clear contracts, reliable records, early legal review and dispute prevention. Preserve written decisions, payment records and contract amendments while the relationship is still cooperative. When warning signs appear, assess remedies and negotiation options before a preventable issue becomes formal proceedings.
Dispute 10/03/2026
Review commercial arbitration agreements in Vietnam, including written form, signatory authority, validity, separability and dispute-clause preparation. A workable clause identifies the intended forum and covers a legally arbitrable dispute. Review the parties, scope and execution before signing so jurisdiction issues do not undermine a later claim.
Divorce 22/08/2022
Not every unsuccessful divorce application involves the same legal problem. A statutory restriction on a husband's right to request divorce, insufficient evidence of the grounds and an incomplete or incorrectly filed petition each require a different response. 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 01/11/2025
A foreign spouse's refusal to communicate does not remove the need for lawful procedure. A case involving absence requires careful attention to jurisdiction, service and the conditions under which proceedings can continue. Document the spouse's current or last known address, residence history and attempts to communicate. Explain any uncertainty rather than supplying an address known to be inaccurate. The court's assessment of notification and participation cannot be replaced by an informal message between the spouses.
Divorce 28/09/2022
The document file should support the couple's actual request, not merely follow an internet checklist. Marriage and identity records are central, while child, asset and debt documents depend on the issues the spouses ask the court to resolve. 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 20/09/2022
A divorce settlement should begin by identifying the applicable property regime and distinguishing joint assets from separate ownership. Where agreement is not possible, the court examines the relevant evidence and statutory factors rather than relying only on whose name appears on a document. 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.
Investment 26/09/2023
Investment incentives depend on the project and the applicable legal conditions, rather than the investor's expectation of a tax saving. A project may need to establish its eligibility and complete procedures with the authority responsible for the particular benefit. Separate corporate income tax, import-duty, land-related and other benefits. Review the sector, location, project scale and any qualifying certification. An incentive mentioned in an investment document should be checked against the detailed rules governing its application.
Investment 10/10/2023
Foreign investment registration should follow a clear understanding of the project. A new company, an acquisition and a cooperation arrangement do not necessarily use the same procedure or approval sequence. Define the activities, location, capital, ownership and implementation plan. Review market-access conditions and whether investment-policy approval, project registration or an acquisition procedure applies. Avoid relying on an old ownership percentage as a universal test for every transaction.
Investment 18/08/2026
Identify legal risks for foreign investors in Vietnam, including unsuitable structures, conditional sectors, contracts, property and ongoing obligations. A promising commercial proposal still needs a workable legal foundation. Review approvals, signing authority, funds flow and operational permissions before relying on informal assurances or committing to a local arrangement.
Investment 25/05/2026
Explore legal representation in Vietnam for clients abroad, including remote work, authorization, foreign documents and limits on personal attendance. Begin with a case review and distinguish advisory work from formal representation. Confirm which documents require originals or authentication and which decisions remain subject to the client's approval.
