Predicted to be among the top growth performers not only in Asia but also in the world, Vietnam has become one of the hottest investment destinations as well as for business expansion.

In 2019, Vietnam’s GDP per capita was recorded at USD 2,700, while the GDP per capita (PPP) at USD 8,100. Vietnam is home to foreign direct investment (FDI) projects with total value amounted to USD 19B in 2019 alone. Other appealing factors include its strategic location that is next to China and has one of the lowest wages in Southeast Asia.

What restrictions do foreign investors have to take into account? How easy is the company registration process? Are there any tax incentives offered by the government to encourage more foreign direct investments?
