Set up your Vietnam
entity right.
Whether you need a trading company, a representative office, or a branch of your overseas business — Forra manages the full process so you can start operating without delays or costly mistakes.
Four ways to establish your Vietnam presence.
Each structure serves a different purpose. Forra advises on the right fit for your business model, manages the full application, and handles all post-formation registrations.
Incorporate a wholly foreign-owned LLC or JSC in Vietnam. Full legal entity, independent operations, no restrictions on revenue or commercial activity — the standard structure for most foreign investors.
Establish a non-commercial presence in Vietnam for market research, liaison, and promotion. The lightest-touch entry structure — no revenue, no charter capital, just 1 year of parent company operation required.
Conduct commercial activity in Vietnam under the parent company's name. Trade, invoice, and sign contracts without incorporating a separate entity — requires 5 years of parent operation.
Obtain the required sub-licenses to operate legally in Vietnam's regulated industries. We manage your applications across 100+ conditional business lines before you commence operations.
From first call to operational entity — five steps.
