In the context of international integration, Vietnam has become an attractive destination for foreign investors.

To help FDI businesses understand and comply with legal regulations, CPA HCM Audit and Consulting Company is proud to offer professional, comprehensive Legal Compliance Consulting Services suitable for all types of FDI enterprises.

1. THE CONCERNS OF INVESTORS IN THE VIETNAMESE MARKET

When establishing FDI enterprises in Vietnam, foreign investors often face various legal, financial, and operational concerns and challenges. Below are some typical worries that FDI enterprises may encounter:

1.1. Complex legal procedures

Establishing an FDI enterprise in Vietnam requires the company to comply with a series of legal regulations regarding foreign investment, business registration, obtaining an investment license, and other types of permits. These procedures can be very complex and time-consuming, causing investors to worry about not complying with regulations or facing difficulties in the licensing process.

1.2. Regulations on investment capital and profit transfer

One of the major concerns of foreign direct investment (FDI) enterprises is the investment capital requirements, including regulations on the minimum capital for conditional sectors. FDI enterprises are also worried about repatriating profits abroad, as the legal regulations in Vietnam have many restrictions and strict requirements regarding taxes and related documentation.

1.3. Difficulties in understanding the local legal system.

Vietnam has a distinct legal system with regulations related to investment, business, labor, taxation, and insurance. For foreign direct investment (FDI) enterprises, understanding and grasping these regulations is a significant challenge, especially as Vietnamese laws change frequently, affecting compliance and business operations.

1.4. Tax and financial policy risks

Understanding and complying with tax regulations in Vietnam is another major concern for foreign direct investment (FDI) enterprises. Regulations regarding corporate income tax, value-added tax, contractor tax, and other types of taxes can be complex and constantly changing, making it difficult for businesses to calculate and fulfill their financial obligations on time.

1.5. Dispute resolution and legal risk management

During their operations, FDI enterprises may face disputes with business partners, employees, or government agencies. The ability to resolve disputes and legal risks is a major concern, as the resolution process in Vietnam can be lengthy, complex, and costly.

1.6. Labor and Human Resource Management Issues

FDI enterprises need to strictly comply with labor regulations, including employment contracts, salary regulations, social insurance, health insurance, and employee benefits. Managing human resources in accordance with regulations can be a challenge for foreign companies due to differences in work culture and legal requirements.

1.7. Policy changes and economic fluctuations

Vietnam's investment policy can change according to different stages of economic and political development. This can affect the business operations and long-term development strategies of foreign direct investment (FDI) enterprises. Investors are concerned that fluctuations in policy and the economy may negatively impact profitability and the stability of business operations.

1.8. Ensure compliance with special investment conditions.

Some industries have special requirements for investment conditions, such as real estate, telecommunications, energy, and education. FDI enterprises need to meet high standards in security, technology, and management. This requires thorough preparation in both financial and human resources, placing significant pressure on investors.

2. THE NECESSITY OF LEGAL COMPLIANCE CONSULTING SERVICES FOR FDI ENTERPRISES
2.1. Complex and Continuously Changing Laws

Vietnamese law, especially regulations related to foreign investment, is constantly updated to align with the realities of economic development and the demands of international integration. The continuous changes in the legal system can make it difficult for FDI enterprises to grasp and comply with the regulations.

Therefore, FDI enterprises not only need to have a clear understanding of the current regulations but also must quickly adapt to legal changes to avoid unnecessary risks. The legal compliance consulting services at CPA HCM help businesses monitor, analyze, and continuously update the latest legal regulations, thereby effectively adjusting their business operations.

2.2. Risk of legal violations
