China+1 in 2026: Why Vietnam Keeps Winning the Relocation Race
Vietnam remains the top China+1 destination in 2026. We break down the cost, trade and talent math — and what relocating companies get wrong.
Ready to grow your business in Vietnam?
Choose the right entry route for Vietnam — representative office, foreign-owned LLC, compliance launch, bank/capital support, or custom setup review. Vietnam is attractive, but the wrong setup can become expensive fast.
Interested in investment migration or residency? That practice is handled by our sister brand VNIS Investment, the VNIS Group member specializing in investment & immigration.
Pick a base package, add the support modules you need, and get a detailed proposal within one business day.
A typical timeline is 1–2 weeks for strategy and feasibility, 4–8 weeks for licensing and setup (IRC/BRC), and another 1–2 weeks for bank, tax, and compliance launch. Regulated or conditional business lines can take longer and may require additional approvals.
A representative office suits liaison, market research, sourcing, and partner development but cannot generate revenue. A foreign-owned LLC is the standard route for trading, services, or invoicing customers in Vietnam. Our advisory packages compare RO, LLC, and JV against your goals before you commit.
No. Quoted fees are BusinessPartner.vn service fees only. Government fees, taxes, notarization, legalization, translation, bank charges, office rent, and third-party vendor costs are excluded unless agreed in writing.
Registration is only the start. You still need bank account opening, capital contribution within the legal deadline, tax code and e-invoice setup, labor and HR registration, and a compliance calendar. Our Company Setup + Compliance Launch package covers this onboarding from day one.
