First and foremost, ASL Law would like to send our best wishes and sincere gratitude to you (hereafter referred to as “Client”) for contacting our legal services. We understand that you are looking for legal guidance about opening a game company in Vietnam and game license in Vietnam. As a result, we are pleased to offer you the following Legal services for your consideration.
Procedures for establishing a Game Company in Vietnam
Under Vietnam’s WTO Commitments, international investors are only permitted to form joint ventures with local game launching partners when founding a gaming company. Foreign capital participation must not exceed 49 percent of the joint ventures’ legal capital. Thus, for this service, 100 percent foreign-invested companies are not permitted to operate in Vietnam, but the above joint ventures are permitted to be established in Vietnam.
As a result, in our experience, the following steps should be taken to establish a foreign-invested technology company developing a game in Vietnam:
- Step 1: Start a local gaming business company.
- Step 2: Purchase 49 percent of the contributing capital and the firm’s director should be foreign to manage and administer the company.
- Step 3: Apply for a game license for each type of game you want to promote.
- When you agree to proceed further, we will help you through the specifics procedures of the company’s setup process.
