Four options for Chinese enterprises to register and establish a company in Vietnam

foreign-invested enterprise FDI

Recommendation rating

The entity is legally clear and suitable for long-term operations, factory setup, import and export, auditing, and profit repatriation; however, the establishment and modification processes are lengthy, and attention must be paid to foreign investment access, registered capital, and investment project compliance.

domestic company (Chinese legal person)

Recommendation rating

The establishment is relatively flexible, but nominee shareholding is not legally protected in Vietnam. Although a Chinese legal representative can control the bank account and the right to sign and operate, the assets and owners' equity still belong to the Vietnamese person.

Domestic company (Vietnamese legal entity)

Recommendation rating

It is easy to set up, has a flexible business scope, and is suitable for some light-asset trial operations; however, since it involves Vietnamese shareholding, it is necessary to focus on designing control rights, dividend rights, and exit mechanisms. Nominee shareholding is not protected by law in Vietnam.

office

Recommendation rating

Suitable for market research, client liaison, supplier communication, and preliminary business representation; however, it cannot directly conduct business operations, issue invoices, collect payments, or generate business revenue. Representative offices are required to file individual income tax returns and can pay social security contributions for employees.
