COOPERATION MECHANISM IN PROCESSING APPLICATIONS FOR INVESTMENT AND ENTERPRISE REGISTRATION OF FOREIGN INVESTORS IN VIETNAM
Circular 2/2017 taking effect from 15 June 2017 regulates the cooperation mechanism in processing applications for investment registration and enterprise registration of foreign investors (cooperation mechanism). Under the cooperation, a foreign investor submits its applications for investment registration and enterprise registration and receives its registration certificates at applicable Department of Planning and Investment (DPI). Therefore, the procedure of investment registration and enterprise registration under the cooperation mechanism may reduce significantly the licensing workload of foreign investors compared to the original separate procedures of investment registration and enterprise registration (separate procedure).
