Vietnam Business Guide 2026

Vietnam's legal and regulatory landscape has evolved at an unprecedented pace over the past year. With significant reforms across investment, taxation, digital business, land, and other key areas, keeping abreast of these developments has become increasingly important for businesses and investors seeking to establish or expand their presence in Vietnam.

It is against this backdrop that we are pleased to present the second edition of our Vietnam Business Guide. Building on the first edition published in 2025, this second edition reflects the latest legislative and regulatory developments and provides readers with an up-to-date overview of the legal framework governing investment and business operations in Vietnam.

The Guide examines the principal market entry options available to foreign investors, including the establishment of wholly foreign-owned enterprises and investment through mergers and acquisitions. It also provides practical guidance on the key legal and regulatory issues encountered in the course of doing business in Vietnam, including corporate governance, taxation, employment, intellectual property, real estate, and dispute resolution.

We hope this second edition serves as a reliable and practical reference for businesses, investors, and advisers, enabling them to navigate Vietnam's rapidly evolving legal environment with greater confidence and make well-informed business decisions.
