Implementation methods

During the process of global economic integration, Vietnam has made efforts to improve the business investment environment for foreign investors. The evidence is the ease up of legal regulations on business conditions for many industries and fields to attract capital from abroad. Besides business lines that foreign investors can freely carry out investment activities to contribute capital to establish companies. There are still business lines that are required by law for foreign investors to meet certain conditions in order to be eligible for permission to participate in investment and business.

The dry cleaning service business is one of the conditional business lines for foreign investors, regulated by the Ministry of Planning and Investment. However, at the present time, in order to implement the policy of increasingly loosening business conditions for business lines and fields, the Ministry of Planning and Investment has removed the mandatory conditions for foreign investors investing in dry cleaning, laundry business.

However, in order to conduct business investment activities, foreign investors still have to comply with and carry out procedures for foreign investors in accordance with the provisions of the investment law. Specifically, a foreign investor can invest in two forms as follows:

First, Contributing capital to establish enterprises in Vietnam

For this form, Article 22 of the Investment Law 2014 stipulates:

” Investors may establish economic organizations in accordance with the law. Before establishing an economic organization, a foreign investor must have an investment project and carry out procedures for issuance of an investment registration certificate…”

Thus, in order to contribute capital to establish an enterprise, Foreign investors must carry out procedures for applying for an Investment Registration Certificate. The detailed steps of this procedure have been mentioned by us in the article on Procedures for establishing a foreign-invested company, you can click on the link to find out the details of this procedure.

When an enterprise does not have an investment certificate, the procedures for changing the business registration contents with the state agency are more simple. In addition, when implementing this form, there are additional advantages such as:

Simple procedures: When an enterprise only has an enterprise registration certificate, it only has to do procedures like a typical Vietnamese enterprise;
