Establish new projects in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City

Although the general process of establishing a project in Vietnam is regulated by national law, there are significant differences between major cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City that investors should be aware of:

Planning and development characteristics

• Hanoi: As the capital, Hanoi has a tight development plan, focusing on the service sector, high technology, tourism, and clean industry. Finding land or premises for large-scale manufacturing projects may be more limited. Projects in Hanoi often prioritize sustainability, environmental protection, and contributing to the overall development of the capital.
• Ho Chi Minh City: As the most vibrant economic center of the country, Ho Chi Minh City has a more flexible planning, with diverse industries from manufacturing, trade, services to technology. Access to land and factories may be more diverse, but rental/purchase costs may also be higher depending on the area.

Administrative Procedures and Processing Time

Both cities have the Department of Planning and Investment as their investment licensing authority, however:

• Differences in “culture” of case processing: Although the regulations are the same, in practice, the way of working, the additional documents required and the processing time in each locality may have slight differences. Ho Chi Minh City may tend to be more flexible in some cases, while Hanoi may adhere closely to written regulations.
• Workload: Due to the large number of investment projects in both cities, the processing time may vary from time to time. However, there is no significant difference in the prescribed processing time.
• Document requirements: Some specific projects may have additional documentation requirements or separate procedures depending on each city's development policy.

Local investment costs and incentives

• Premises/rental costs: Land, factory and office rental prices in Ho Chi Minh City are often higher than in Hanoi, especially in central areas and key industrial zones. This directly affects the total investment of the project.
• Local preferential policies: Both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City have their own investment incentives to attract priority industries. Investors should study carefully to make the most of these advantages. For example, some industrial parks in Ho Chi Minh City may have their own support policies for high-tech industries, while Hanoi may prioritize research and development projects.

Impact on overall process and price:

• General process: Basically, the steps in the project establishment process (such as submitting IRC, ERC, environmental procedures, etc.) are similar according to Vietnamese law. However, the difference in practical application and additional requirements from local authorities can make the process in each city slightly different in time and complexity.
• Service price: Due to differences in site costs, project nature, and sometimes the complexity of interacting with local authorities, Consulting service fees may differ slightly between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. GT Law is committed to clearly and transparently announcing all fees so that customers have the most comprehensive overview.
