About This Service

Specialised Zone and Incentive Applications forms part of Ryoss’ Vietnam-specific incorporation, investment setup and managed compliance support. It is designed to help foreign-owned, export-oriented and strategically aligned businesses assess and coordinate investment zone, licensing and incentive application pathways in Vietnam. Vietnam investment projects may require coordination with the relevant investment registration authority, provincial Department of Finance, Industrial Park, Export Processing Zone, Hi-Tech Park or Economic Zone Management Board, depending on the project location, business activity and investment structure. Ryoss works with clients to assess the most suitable pathway, coordinate application materials, manage adviser input and support authority follow-up, helping ensure the project is properly aligned with Vietnam’s investment, licensing and incentive framework.
