Note: You must apply for an Investment Registration Certificate in Vietnam if:

  • Your contribution pushes foreign ownership from 50% or less to over 50%.
  • You’re contributing to a company already over 50% foreign-owned.

If neither applies, an IRC isn’t required.

Notes After Successfully Obtaining IRC

1. Avoid Fines for Late IRC Renewal

Companies face fines of 70-100 million VND if their Investment Registration Certificate in Vietnam expires without renewal (per Article 17, Decree 122/2021/NĐ-CP). CMT’s Investment registration certificate application service offers automatic deadline reminders and fast renewal in 7-10 working days – keeping you penalty-free and compliant!

2. Replace a Lost or Damaged Investment Registration Certificate

You must reapply for your Investment Registration Certificate in Vietnam if it’s lost or damaged. Without a valid IRC, you risk heavy fines or even business suspension during surprise government checks.

When You Need a Replacement:

  • Certificate is lost or damaged.
  • Online National System data doesn’t match your IRC.
  • IRC details don’t match your filed registration info.

Reapplying is as complex as the initial process, requiring detailed explanations and various supporting documents depending on the case. Doing it yourself could take 1-2 months, stalling your business. CMT’s urgent reissuance service gets it done in 5-7 working days, ensuring your Vietnam investment process stays on track!
