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 25/01/2026
Avoid service agreement pitfalls by defining scope, deliverables, liability, payment, termination and practical remedies before a dispute arises. Use specific milestones and acceptance records that match the real service. A legal review should connect risk allocation with commercial expectations, evidence of completion and the consequences of delayed or defective performance.
Enterprise 04/12/2023
Company division and separation are different forms of reorganization. The intended result should be defined before resolutions are prepared, particularly whether the existing company continues and how assets and obligations will be allocated. Prepare a schedule of assets, contracts, staff, liabilities and ownership interests. Review the proposed corporate structure and who will approve it. An internal allocation does not automatically resolve the rights of creditors or counterparties.
Enterprise 22/07/2023
Moving a company's registered office involves more than changing the address on its stationery. Corporate approvals, the registration record, premises rights and related licences should be reviewed together. The original article concerns a move within the same district. This guide retains that context while focusing on the current administrative location and the practical documents needed to record the change consistently.
Enterprise 22/01/2026
Review shareholder dispute risks in Vietnamese companies, from capital and voting rights to governance documents, negotiation and formal proceedings. Collect the charter, ownership records, approvals and correspondence before taking unilateral action. A clear assessment of authority and dispute clauses can help preserve operations while the parties consider settlement or legal remedies.
Foreigners 25/07/2025
Foreign nationals use identity and immigration documents for different purposes in Vietnam. A passport, visa, residence card and electronic identity account should not be treated as interchangeable evidence of every legal status. A bank, employer, accommodation provider or public authority may have different identity and verification requirements. Keep names, passport numbers and residence information consistent. An electronic account does not itself create a right to remain or work in Vietnam.
Foreigners 24/11/2025
Plan work permit procedures for foreign employees in Vietnam under the current framework, from eligibility and documents to renewals and HR compliance. Check the worker's role, qualifications, employer and any exemption before work begins. Prepare document authentication and translations early, and coordinate permit information with the employment and residence arrangements.
Foreigners 09/11/2023
Foreign nationals should check the legal basis for entering Vietnam before making travel arrangements. Requirements can depend on nationality, travel document, purpose and the route used to enter. Review passport validity, the issued visa or applicable exemption and the permitted entry point. Names and dates should be consistent. An approval or visa does not remove every entry condition, and past immigration problems may require individual advice.
Foreigners 01/03/2026
Check current work permit requirements for foreign employees in Vietnam, including eligibility, exemptions, document preparation and continuing compliance. The applicable route depends on the role, qualifications, employer and assignment. Review the current foreign-worker framework and align permit documents with employment contracts instead of relying on outdated duration thresholds.
Dispute 27/07/2023
Commercial arbitration depends on an eligible dispute and an effective arbitration agreement. Businesses should review the agreed institution or procedure, the scope of the clause and the relief sought before commencing a claim. The guide introduces institutional and ad hoc arbitration and explains why the contract and procedural choices should be reviewed early, alongside evidence, costs and the practical prospects of enforcing an award.
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 12/10/2023
Commercial arbitration begins with a valid basis for arbitral jurisdiction. The parties' agreement, the nature of the dispute and the applicable rules should be reviewed before a claim is submitted. Read the clause with the complete contract and any incorporated documents. Identify the institution or ad hoc arrangement, seat, language, number of arbitrators and scope of disputes covered. A dispute-resolution label alone may not resolve uncertainty about the agreed procedure.
Dispute 17/08/2022
A property dispute often turns on how an asset was acquired and what the documents show. Ownership records, gifts, inheritances, contributions and financial obligations should be examined before either spouse assumes that a particular asset must be divided equally. 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 21/09/2026
Prepare a foreign marriage certificate for divorce in Vietnam, including translation, authentication, missing originals, identity consistency and court review. A certificate may establish the marriage without deciding court jurisdiction. Check the issuing authority, names, complete translations and available replacement records before filing or relying on an uncertified scan.
Divorce 07/11/2022
A request for direct custody should demonstrate the care a parent can actually provide. Financial records help, but they should be considered alongside time, housing, schooling, emotional support and the child's established routines and relationships. The discussion considers the child’s welfare, the evidence parents can prepare and the practical effect of the proposed arrangement. It also distinguishes direct care from continuing support and contact obligations, so the request can be assessed on its own facts.
Divorce 25/08/2022
Ending a marriage does not automatically cancel borrowing or transfer every liability to one spouse. The purpose of the debt, the parties' consent, the benefit to the family and the creditor's rights must be examined when deciding responsibility. 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 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.
Investment 11/09/2023
A change to an investor's name, identity document or registered particulars should be assessed against the records of the investment project. An administrative update is different from a change in the investor or an acquisition of the investment. Compare the old and new documents and explain what has actually changed. A renamed corporate investor, a replaced passport and a transfer to a different investor may require different evidence and procedures. Do not treat every change as the same filing.
Investment 13/10/2025
Foreign property purchases in Vietnam should be assessed by reference to the buyer and the specific asset. Eligible housing ownership is different from owning land or acquiring unrestricted rights in every property. Review the buyer's status, project, property type and applicable restrictions or foreign ownership limits. Obtain the relevant project and seller documents and verify the information supporting the sale. A numerical quota alone does not establish that a particular unit is available to the buyer.
Investment 15/11/2025
Explore foreign investment structures in Vietnam, market access conditions, licensing, incentives and the legal risks international investors should review. A new company, acquisition and joint venture can create different approval and compliance obligations. Confirm business activities, capital arrangements, location and operational permissions before making binding commitments.
Investment 15/08/2023
Foreign investment capital enters Vietnam through transactions and projects with different legal requirements. Investors should connect the proposed funding route with ownership conditions, approvals, banking arrangements and the business plan. The discussion considers the opportunities together with their conditions. Incentives and market entry permissions should be verified for the particular project rather than assumed from a general description of an industry.
