Registering a branch is a suitable alternative to establishing a limited liability company or a joint-stock company if the aim of the foreign investor is to expand to Vietnam, but not to create a separate legal entity. A foreign company looking to register a branch must be registered abroad for at least 5 years.

Branch allows you to:

  • Conduct commercial activities and earn revenue
  • Establish your business without registering a separate legal entity
  • No need for a complex corporate structure
  • Expand your business to Vietnam in approximately 1 month

Foreign companies looking to support the parent company and not to conduct commercial activities can alternatively register a representative office.
