The report highlights several transitional challenges arising from the absence of guiding regulations from the central government and proposes interim measures to ensure continuity in administrative procedures for investors.<\/p>Delayed Guiding Regulations Create Transitional Gaps<\/strong><\/p>According to the Department of Finance, although the National Assembly passed the 2025 Investment Law (Law No. 143\/2025\/QH15)<\/strong> on 11 December 2025, the Government has not yet issued the implementing Decree<\/strong>, nor has the Ministry of Finance released the required Circulars. This regulatory gap has created uncertainty for both investors and administrative agencies at the local level.<\/p>The Department cites Clause 14 and Clause 17 of Article 52<\/strong> of the new law, which provide transitional rules for handling investment applications submitted before the law’s effective date. These provisions allow competent authorities to continue processing valid applications under the 2020 Investment Law<\/strong>, except for certain cases involving the Prime Minister’s approval authority.<\/p>Status of Applications Submitted Before 1 March 2026<\/strong><\/p>The Department reports that most investment registration applications submitted before 1 March 2026 have already been processed:<\/p><ul><li>New and amended Investment Registration Certificates<\/strong> and notifications of capital contribution, share purchase, or equity acquisition<\/strong> have largely been completed for valid applications.<\/li><li>For new or amended investment policy decisions<\/strong>, the Department has completed appraisal reports and submitted them to the City People’s Committee for consideration.<\/li><li>Applications that were valid but not yet ready for submission<\/strong>—due to missing clarifications, pending opinions from other agencies, or incomplete documentation—will continue to be processed under the 2020 Investment Law<\/strong>, in accordance with the transitional provisions.<\/li><\/ul>Handling Applications Submitted From 1 March 2026 Onward<\/strong><\/p>Because the guiding Decree and Circulars for the 2025 Investment Law have not been issued, the Department notes that the existing application forms<\/strong> under Circular 03\/2021\/TT‑BKHĐT and Circular 25\/2023\/TT‑BKHĐT (issued under the 2020 Investment Law) are no longer legally appropriate<\/strong>.<\/p>To avoid disrupting the investment environment, the Department proposes two options for investors:<\/p><ol><li>Wait for the new Decree and Circulars<\/strong> before preparing and submitting applications under the 2025 Investment Law; or<\/li><li>Submit applications using the existing forms<\/strong> under the 2020 Investment Law, with the understanding that:<\/li><\/ol><ul><li>The Department will receive but not process<\/strong> the applications until the new regulations are issued.<\/li><li>If the forthcoming regulations differ from the submitted documents, investors will be required to resubmit applications<\/strong> using the updated forms.<\/li><\/ul>Recommendations for Investors and Contact Information<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Given the regulatory uncertainty during the transition to the 2025 Investment Law, investors are encouraged to carefully assess their filing strategy. Those with urgent investment timelines may consider submitting applications using the existing 2020‑based templates, with the understanding that resubmission may be required once the new Decree and Circulars are issued. Investors without immediate deadlines may benefit from waiting for the forthcoming guidance to avoid duplication of effort and potential delays.<\/li><\/ul>For organizations or individuals seeking clarification on how these transitional rules may affect their investment procedures, or for assistance in preparing compliant application dossiers, our team remains available to provide tailored advisory support.

These updates aim to enhance transparency, improve corporate governance, and address long-standing regulatory gaps. Below is a summary of the most notable developments.<\/p>\n\n1. Introduction of the &ldquo;Beneficial Owner&rdquo; Concept<\/p>\n\nOne of the most important additions is the formal recognition of the &ldquo;Beneficial Owner&rdquo;<\/strong>&mdash;defined as an individual who ultimately owns or controls an enterprise, excluding those acting solely as representatives of the State in wholly state-owned enterprises or in joint-stock\/multi-member limited liability companies under the Law on Management and Use of State Capital.<\/p>\n\nIdentification Criteria<\/p>\n\nAn individual is deemed a beneficial owner if they meet either of the following conditions:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Ownership Threshold<\/strong>: Directly or indirectly hold at least 25% of the charter capital<\/strong> or 25% of total voting shares<\/strong> of the enterprise. Indirect ownership includes holding such interests through intermediary organizations.<\/li>\n\t<li>Control Rights<\/strong>: Possess the authority to approve key corporate decisions, such as:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Appointment or removal of most or all members of the Board of Management or Board of Members;<\/li>\n\t<li>Appointment or dismissal of the legal representative, Director, or General Director;<\/li>\n\t<li>Amendments to the company charter;<\/li>\n\t<li>Changes to the company&rsquo;s organizational structure;<\/li>\n\t<li>Decisions on reorganization or dissolution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nThis provision is designed to capture individuals who exercise control through nominee arrangements<\/strong>, ensuring transparency across all layers of ownership.<\/p>\n\n2. Mandatory Disclosure of Beneficial Ownership<\/p>\n\nEnterprises are now required to declare their beneficial owners<\/strong> at the time of business registration and to update this information<\/strong> whenever changes occur. Existing enterprises must disclose such information upon their next amendment to enterprise registration details.<\/p>\n\nAdditionally, companies must maintain internal records<\/strong> of beneficial ownership and provide such information to competent authorities upon request.<\/p>\n\n3. Definition of &ldquo;Market Price&rdquo; for Shares and Capital Contributions<\/p>\n\nThe amended law introduces a clearer definition of &ldquo;market price&rdquo;<\/strong>, which is critical for transactions involving share transfers and capital valuation.<\/p>\n\nFor Non-Listed Shares:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>The most recent market transaction price;<\/li>\n\t<li>A price mutually agreed upon by the buyer and seller;<\/li>\n\t<li>A valuation conducted by a licensed valuation firm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nFor Listed Shares:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>The average trading price over the 30 days<\/strong> preceding the valuation date;<\/li>\n\t<li>A mutually agreed price;<\/li>\n\t<li>A valuation by a licensed valuation firm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nThis clarification provides a more transparent and consistent basis for valuing both listed and non-listed equity, addressing prior ambiguities&mdash;especially for private companies.<\/p>\n\n4. Charter Capital Reduction via Redeemable Preference Shares<\/p>\n\nPreviously, while the concept of redeemable preference shares<\/strong> was recognized, the law lacked a mechanism for reducing charter capital when such shares were refunded. This created uncertainty for both enterprises and regulators.<\/p>\n\nThe 2025 amendment now explicitly allows charter capital reduction<\/strong> when a company returns contributed capital to holders of redeemable preference shares, either upon request or under conditions specified in the share certificates and company charter. This change strengthens legal certainty and enhances investor confidence by formalizing exit rights.<\/p>\n\nConclusion<\/p>\n\nThe Amended Enterprise Law 2025 marks a significant step forward in aligning Vietnam&rsquo;s corporate governance framework with international standards. By introducing the concept of beneficial ownership, clarifying valuation principles, and addressing gaps in capital management, the law enhances transparency and legal certainty for both domestic and foreign investors.<\/p>\n\nEnterprises should proactively review their internal governance structures, shareholding arrangements, and compliance procedures to ensure alignment with the new requirements.<\/p>\n\n<\/p>\n","image_url":"https:\/\/www.ardens.com.vn\/datafiles\/69122\/upload\/files\/company.jpg?t=1763102129","image_thumb_url":"https:\/\/www.ardens.com.vn\/datafiles\/69122\/upload\/thumb_files\/company.jpg?t=1772600944","tags":["Enterprises law","Investment law"],"count_view":223,"seo_name":"key-updates-under-the-amended-enterprise-law-2025","date_update":1759307608,"date_created_format":1763102200,"meta_title":"Enterprises law, Investment law","meta_desc":"","meta_keyword":"Enterprises law, Investment law in Vietnam","qr_code":"https:\/\/www.ardens.com.vn\/key-updates-under-the-amended-enterprise-law-2025"},{"id":725160,"name":"Key Regulatory Challenges in Corporate Inversion for Overseas Listing","desc":"","content":"Corporate inversion&mdash;where a Vietnamese company restructures to establish an offshore holding entity for the purpose of listing on a foreign stock exchange&mdash;has become an increasingly strategic move for accessing global capital. However, this process is subject to a complex regulatory framework in Vietnam, particularly under the Law on Investment and its implementing regulations. Below are the key legal and procedural issues that investors must navigate:<\/p>\n\n1. Offshore Investment Registration Certificate (OIRC)<\/strong><\/p>\n\nAny direct offshore investment requires an OIRC issued by the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI). In practice, the application process can be lengthy and unpredictable, especially when the investment capital reaches or exceeds VND 20 billion, triggering the need for the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV)&rsquo;s opinion and potentially In-Principle Approval (IPA) from higher authorities.<\/p>\n\n2. In-Principle Approval (IPA) Requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n\nCertain offshore investment projects must obtain IPA from either the National Assembly or the Prime Minister, depending on their nature and scale:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>National Assembly approval<\/strong> is required for:\n\n\t<ul>\n\t\t<li>Projects with offshore investment capital of VND 20,000 billion or more;<\/li>\n\t\t<li>Projects involving special mechanisms or policies requiring legislative endorsement.<\/li>\n\t<\/ul>\n\t<\/li>\n\t<li>Prime Minister approval<\/strong> is required for:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Projects in sensitive sectors (e.g., banking, insurance, securities, media, telecommunications) with capital of VND 400 billion or more;<\/li>\n\t<li>Other projects with offshore investment capital of VND 800 billion or more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nThe IPA process involves multiple layers of ministerial review and can significantly delay transaction timelines while introducing regulatory uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n3. OIRC Amendments Triggered by Share Transfers<\/strong><\/p>\n\nAny change in offshore investment capital&mdash;including share transfers in the offshore holding company (HoldCo)&mdash;requires an amendment to the OIRC. This applies regardless of whether the offshore entity is listed or unlisted. Consequently, post-listing share transactions may still be subject to Vietnamese regulatory oversight, complicating the expected flexibility of offshore equity dealings.<\/p>\n\n4. Restrictions on Foreign-Invested Enterprises (FIEs)<\/strong><\/p>\n\nFIEs (entities with over 50% foreign ownership) face stricter capital sourcing rules. Unlike local enterprises, FIEs must fund offshore investments solely from their equity capital, excluding amounts already allocated for domestic operations. Retained earnings from offshore projects cannot be reinvested directly but must first be repatriated to Vietnam, limiting reinvestment flexibility.<\/p>\n\n5. Share Swaps and Offshore Structuring<\/strong><\/p>\n\nVietnamese investors may use domestic shares, capital contributions, or investment projects to acquire equity in offshore entities. While this principle is generally accepted, using such assets to establish a new offshore company remains legally ambiguous and uncommon. The OIRC process for share swap structures is more complex and may raise additional legal and procedural hurdles.<\/p>\n\n6. Frequent OIRC Amendment Triggers<\/strong><\/p>\n\nUnder current regulations, even minor changes&mdash;such as project location, reinvestment of retained earnings, or adjustments to investment capital&mdash;can trigger the need to amend the OIRC. For projects requiring IPA, this may involve renewed approval from the National Assembly or Prime Minister. For others, MPI approval is required, often with input from SBV and other authorities, adding to the administrative burden.<\/p>\n\n7. Ongoing Reporting and Compliance Obligations<\/strong><\/p>\n\nInvestors must comply with extensive post-licensing requirements, including:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Reporting to MPI, SBV, MOF, and Vietnam&rsquo;s overseas representative offices;<\/li>\n\t<li>Submitting reports after receiving foreign investment approval;<\/li>\n\t<li>Quarterly and annual reports;<\/li>\n\t<li>Reports following tax finalization in the host country.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n8. Profit Repatriation Requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n\nProfits from offshore investments must be repatriated to Vietnam within six months of the host country&rsquo;s tax finalization report, unless retained for reinvestment. Any delay must be pre-approved by MPI and SBV and must not exceed 18 months. Reinvestment of profits requires either an OIRC amendment or a new OIRC if applied to a new project.<\/p>\n\nConclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\nWhile corporate inversion offers strategic advantages for overseas listing, Vietnamese investors must carefully assess the regulatory landscape. From OIRC procedures and IPA thresholds to capital sourcing and post-investment obligations, each step involves legal complexity and potential delays. Early planning and proactive legal structuring are essential to mitigate risks and ensure compliance.<\/p>\n\n<\/p>\n","image_url":"https:\/\/www.ardens.com.vn\/datafiles\/69122\/upload\/files\/chung%20khoan.jpg","image_thumb_url":"https:\/\/www.ardens.com.vn\/datafiles\/69122\/upload\/thumb_files\/chung%20khoan.jpg","tags":["Oversea listing"],"count_view":114,"seo_name":"key-regulatory-challenges-in-corporate-inversion-for-overseas-listing","date_update":1763108122,"date_created_format":1763101810,"meta_title":"","meta_desc":"","meta_keyword":"Oversea listing from Vietnam","qr_code":"https:\/\/www.ardens.com.vn\/key-regulatory-challenges-in-corporate-inversion-for-overseas-listing"},{"id":725159,"name":"Non-Solicitation of Employees in Commercial and Employment Contracts under Vietnamese Law","desc":"","content":"<\/p>\n\n1. Non-Solicitation Clauses in Commercial Contracts<\/strong><\/p>\n\nUnder Vietnamese law, non-solicitation of employee clauses&mdash;where parties agree not to poach or recruit each other&#39;s employees&mdash;are generally permissible when included in commercial contracts. There is no statutory prohibition against such provisions in the context of business-to-business agreements. In fact, the Civil Code of Vietnam affirms that any agreement or commitment between parties is legally valid and binding, provided it does not contravene the law or violate social ethics.<\/p>\n\nFrom a practical standpoint, non-solicitation clauses are commonly found in various commercial arrangements, such as service contracts, joint ventures, outsourcing agreements, and strategic partnerships. These clauses are often used to protect human resources and prevent unfair competition, especially in industries where talent mobility is high.<\/p>\n\nBased on our professional experience, we have not encountered any court decisions in Vietnam that invalidate non-solicitation clauses in commercial contracts. This suggests that, in practice, such provisions are generally respected and enforceable, assuming they are clearly drafted and mutually agreed upon.<\/p>\n\n2. Non-Solicitation Clauses in Employment Relationships<\/strong><\/p>\n\nThe legal treatment of non-solicitation clauses becomes more nuanced when they are applied within the context of employment relationships&mdash;specifically between an employer and its employees. In such cases, it is advisable to include the non-solicitation clause in a separate agreement (such as a non-disclosure agreement or post-employment covenant), rather than embedding it directly within the labor contract.<\/p>\n\nThis distinction is important because labor contracts are governed by the Labor Code, which prioritizes the protection of employee rights. If a non-solicitation clause is inserted into a labor contract, it may be subject to scrutiny under labor law principles, particularly the employee&rsquo;s statutory right to freely choose employment and work location, as guaranteed by Vietnamese labor legislation.<\/p>\n\nBy contrast, when the non-solicitation clause is executed as part of a separate civil agreement&mdash;outside the scope of the labor contract&mdash;it is treated under the Civil Code framework. This allows the parties greater flexibility to negotiate and define the terms, provided the agreement does not breach legal prohibitions or offend public morality. This approach has been tested and upheld by Vietnamese courts, including in a published court precedent, which recognized the validity of such civil agreements between employers and employees.<\/p>\n\nConclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\nIn summary, non-solicitation clauses are legally viable in Vietnam when properly structured. In commercial contracts, they are widely accepted and enforceable. In employment contexts, careful drafting and separation from the labor contract are essential to ensure compliance with labor laws and to preserve enforceability. As always, legal advice should be sought to tailor these clauses to the specific business context and to mitigate potential risks.<\/p>\n\n<\/p>\n","image_url":"https:\/\/www.ardens.com.vn\/datafiles\/69122\/upload\/files\/lao%20dong.jpg","image_thumb_url":"https:\/\/www.ardens.com.vn\/datafiles\/69122\/upload\/thumb_files\/lao%20dong.jpg","tags":["employment law"],"count_view":297,"seo_name":"non-solicitation-of-employees-in-commercial-and-employment-contracts-under-vietnamese-law","date_update":1740816922,"date_created_format":1763101427,"meta_title":"employment law","meta_desc":"","meta_keyword":"employment law","qr_code":"https:\/\/www.ardens.com.vn\/non-solicitation-of-employees-in-commercial-and-employment-contracts-under-vietnamese-law"}],"content_pagging":{"firstCurrentItem":1,"lastCurrentItem":6,"total":9,"limit":6,"currentPage":1,"total_page":2,"pages":[{"active":false,"disable":true,"type":"first","page":1,"url":"javascript:void(0)"},{"active":false,"disable":true,"type":"prev","page":1,"url":"javascript:void(0)"},{"active":true,"disable":false,"type":"page","page":1,"url":"javascript:void(0)"},{"active":false,"disable":false,"type":"page","page":2,"url":"https:\/\/www.ardens.com.vn\/legal-updates?check_timer=1&check_type=0&page=2"},{"active":false,"disable":false,"type":"next","page":2,"url":"https:\/\/www.ardens.com.vn\/legal-updates?check_timer=1&check_type=0&page=2"},{"active":false,"disable":false,"type":"last","page":2,"url":"https:\/\/www.ardens.com.vn\/legal-updates?check_timer=1&check_type=0&page=2"}]}},"widget_14845847":{"content_data":{"content":"More"}},"widget_14845982":{"content_data":{"content":"Trang Binh Law Company Limited (Ardens) is a law firm in&nbsp;Vietnam, established and operating under the Operating License No.: 41.02.4548\/TP\/DKHD issued by the Department of Justice of Ho Chi Minh City,&nbsp;Vietnam<\/p>\n"}},"widget_14845984":{"content_data":{"content":"contact"}},"widget_14845988":{"content_data":{"content":"newsletters"}},"widget_14845991":{"content_data":{"content":"Register"}},"widget_14827393":{"content_data":{"content":""}},"widget_14827395":{"content_data":{"content":"Send contact information"}},"widget_14827409":{"content_data":{"content":"Send<\/span>"}},"widget_14827410":{"content_data":{"content":"Reset Form<\/span>"}},"category_desc":"","title_page":"Legal updates"}
