Summary Of Business Structure

Here’s your revised summary for setting up a super-lean 3D property scanning business in Vietnam, with low turnover and minimal capital—cheap, practical, and focused on what you really need:

1. Business Structure

Your best fit remains a Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise (WFOE) structured as a Limited Liability Company (LLC):

  • 100% foreign-owned—no partner needed.

  • You must declare your specific activities up front (“digital services” like 3D scanning + website/digital marketing).

  • You’ll need a Vietnamese legal representative, and you must declare a registered business address (can be virtual).
    ATA Services VietnamNova Law Vietnam

2. Capital Requirements & Cost to Set Up

Capital:

  • No formal minimum, but government wants a “reasonable” figure.

  • For service businesses, typically USD 10,000 is accepted; some authorities may approve lower if you clearly explain your lean structure.

  • Very small operations in non-capital-intensive fields sometimes get approval with less—but USD 10,000 remains the common benchmark.
    Emerhub+1vietnam-briefing.comhealyconsultants.com

Setup Costs (Budget-Friendly):

  • Government fees (registration, seal, public notice): USD 20–40 total.

  • IRC + ERC filings: USD 200–350 + USD 750–1,250 respectively if you self-apply or use minimal help.

  • A low-tier local service provider may charge around USD 1,250–2,000 total for full LLC formation.
    bizspective.com

  • More competitively priced firms, like Green NRJ, offer full-service inclusion for as low as USD 1,500.
    GREEN NRJ

Summary of Costs (Estimated):

  • Government filings & admin: ~USD 300–1,600

  • Service provider (budget-friendly): USD 1,250–1,500

  • Total setup cost: as low as USD 1,500

  • Declared capital (for operations): around USD 5,000–10,000 (to present a realistic but minimal amount)

3. Operational Flexibility

  • You must strictly operate within the declared categories (3D scanning + web/digital services).

  • You may start solo and add up to three staff later—permitted and common.

  • Business expenses like home office, equipment, travel, and staff are tax-deductible with proper invoices.

4. Land and Property

  • Foreigners cannot own land in Vietnam.

  • For your business, you can simply lease office space—virtual office addresses are acceptable, which helps keep cost low.

  • The business can own any digital assets or equipment outright—all good.
    EmerhubNova Law Vietnam

5. Banking & Financing

  • You must open a corporate bank account and deposit your declared capital within 90 days post-registration.
    vietnam-briefing.comInCorp Vietnam

  • Loans are rare for new foreign businesses—you’ll likely self-fund or support via external capital injections.

6. Summary of Steps

  1. Decide on a low capital amount—USD 5,000–10,000 seems reasonable.

  2. Engage a budget-friendly service provider (USD 1,250–1,500) or attempt filing yourself with minimal assistance.

  3. Register your LLC (IRC + ERC) and corporate seal, use a virtual address.

  4. Deposit your declared capital into the Vietnamese bank account.

  5. Appoint a legal representative and set up basic accounting/bookkeeping.

  6. Start operations, hire up to 3 staff when ready.

7. Key Takeaways

  • 100% foreign-owned LLC is the best fit for lean operations like yours.

  • Setup cost can be as low as USD 1,500 with budget-savvy providers.

  • Declared capital around USD 5,000–10,000 should be acceptable for your service-based digital business.

  • You can operate solely, expand modestly, leverage virtual office addresses, and deduct common business expenses.

Work Visa

1. After Company Registration

When you pay ~$1,500 to a service provider, they’ll usually handle:

  • IRC (Investment Registration Certificate) – proves you can invest as a foreigner.

  • ERC (Enterprise Registration Certificate) – proves your company is legally established.

  • Company seal, tax code, registration with authorities.

At this stage, your company is alive, but you don’t yet have the right to work in it.

2. Investor Visa (DT Visa)

Once your company is registered, you apply for an Investor Visa (DT visa). This is the visa category that allows you to both live and work in Vietnam as the owner of your company.

  • DT4 Visa: If your declared capital is under ~USD 130,000 (≈ VND 3 billion). Valid 1–2 years.

  • DT3 Visa: If capital is USD 130,000+. Valid up to 3 years.

  • For a lean setup (declaring $5k–10k capital), you’ll get the DT4 visa.

Costs:

  • Visa processing: ~$400–$600 depending on provider.

  • Temporary residence card (optional, but useful): ~$150–200.

👉 Without this visa, you’d technically need a work permit (but since you’re the investor/owner, you qualify under the investor visa path — much simpler).

3. Opening Bank Accounts

To open a corporate bank account, you’ll need:

  • ERC + IRC (company docs).

  • Company seal and tax registration.

  • Legal representative info.

For a personal bank account, your Investor Visa (DT) is usually required.

4. Driver’s License Conversion

Yes, you’ll need the right visa first.

  • You can convert your home country license into a Vietnamese driver’s license once you have a temporary residence card (TRC) or a long-term DT visa.

  • Process is straightforward, but you must have your visa in place first.

5. Other Practical Documents

  • Tax code for you personally (linked to your visa).

  • Temporary residence registration (police record where you live, handled by landlord/hotel).

  • With these, you can:

    • Apply for phone contracts, utilities, etc.

    • Sign leases legally in your name or your company’s.

📌 Putting it all together (for your lean setup):

  1. Company setup – $1,500 (ERC + IRC + seal + tax).

  2. Investor Visa (DT4) – $400–$600.

  3. Capital contribution – $5k–10k within 90 days (you can spend it right after).

  4. Corporate bank account – free to open once docs are ready.

  5. TRC (optional, but recommended) – ~$150–200, makes life easier for ID and driver’s license.

👉 So yes: registering the company alone doesn’t make you legal to work. You must follow it immediately with the DT investor visa application. Without that, you’d only be a “paper owner” with no right to legally operate day-to-day.

Do you want me to rewrite the Vietnam summary again, but this time including the visa process + driver’s license + bank accounts as part of the official step-by-step, so it’s as tight as the Philippines version?

Taxes

1. Corporate Income Tax (CIT)

  • Standard rate: 20% on net profit.

  • Profit = Gross revenue – allowable expenses.

  • This is the tax your company pays on earnings.

2. How deductions work

Vietnam’s tax system is fairly strict, but many business expenses are deductible if they are:

  1. Related to your business activities.

  2. Properly documented (VAT invoice or red invoice).

  3. Paid through the company bank account if over VND 20 million (~$800).

Deductible expenses you can claim for your 3D scanning business:

  • Office rent (even home office if structured right).

  • Computers, scanners, cameras, drones, software.

  • Staff salaries + social insurance contributions.

  • Marketing, advertising, hosting, domain names.

  • Business travel, meals with clients (with proper invoices).

  • Motorbike/car expenses (if owned by company).

3. VAT (Value-Added Tax)

  • Standard VAT is 10%, added to invoices you issue.

  • Many digital service companies are required to register for VAT.

  • You charge clients 10% VAT, then offset it with the VAT you pay on business purchases (input VAT).

4. Personal Income Tax (PIT)

  • If you pay yourself a salary through the company, it will be taxed under Vietnam’s progressive PIT scale (up to 35%).

  • Many foreign owners in small setups avoid this by:

    • Not drawing a salary, and instead

    • Withdrawing profits (after CIT is paid) or

    • Charging business expenses to the company.

5. Realistic effective tax rate

Let’s make it practical for you:

  • Official rate: 20% CIT.

  • With deductions + VAT offsets, small digital businesses often cut taxable profit nearly in half.

  • Example: You bill $4,000 revenue. After deducting staff, equipment, rent, marketing, etc., maybe only $1,500–$2,000 shows as profit.

  • Apply 20% → effective tax paid = ~$300–$400.

  • That’s why in practice, many lean foreign-owned companies end up with an effective rate around 8–12% of gross turnover.

6. Accountant’s role

You’ll definitely want a local accountant (usually ~$100–$150/month). They’ll:

  • Handle VAT filings, CIT filings, payroll if you hire.

  • Advise on maximizing legal deductions.

  • Make sure invoices are properly issued so you can deduct them.

👉 Bottom line:

  • Vietnam’s company tax is 20%, but only on net profit.

  • With smart deductions, you’re right: realistically, you’ll probably pay around 10% of gross revenue in actual taxes.

  • An accountant is essential — they’ll keep you compliant while making sure you claim every deduction possible.

FIRMS THAT CAN HELP REGISTER BIZ + WORK VISA

I pulled five reputable Vietnam market-entry / incorporation firms that regularly handle both company registration + investor/work visas / TRCs / work permits. For each I list what they offer, an estimated package cost (company formation + visa/permit where available from their site or public pricing), and a source so you can jump straight to them.

Exchange rate used for conversions: I used prices the firms quoted in USD where available. If any VND amounts appear on provider pages I converted using an approximate rate of 1 USD ≈ 23,500 VND (rounding for readability). Always ask each firm for an exact, written quote — prices change by region and complexity.

1) Emerhub (Emerhub Vietnam) — market entry + visas

What they do: Full company registration (IRC/ERC), local compliance, corporate bank account support, and immigration services (business/investor visas, work permits, TRC). They’re focused on SMEs and remote-friendly setups.
Estimated package (company formation + visa support): From ~USD 2,500–5,000 for basic company setup + guidance on DT visa/work permit; more if you want full end-to-end immigration handling and TRC. Emerhub explicitly publishes guidance about capital benchmarks and incorporation requirements.
Why I picked them: Well-known in SE Asia, practical for lean foreign-owned service companies.
Sources: Emerhub — company registration + minimum capital notes. Emerhub+1

2) Healy Consultants (Healy Consultants Group) — premium, global compliance

What they do: End-to-end incorporation, immigration, nominee services, accounting & tax. They provide specialist advice for foreign investors and handle company formation + work permit / TRC processes.
Estimated package (company formation + visa/work permit): Packages commonly shown ~$5,000–20,000+ depending on scope. Healy’s public pages show engagement averages for Vietnam that skew higher (their typical “engagement” numbers are at the mid-to-high end). For a lean filing you can still request a narrow package — but expect higher baseline fees than local boutiques.
Why I picked them: Global footprint, experienced with complex regulatory cases and investor visas. Good if you want a risk-averse provider that handles everything.
Sources: Healy pages on Vietnam fees & company setup. healyconsultants.com+2healyconsultants.com+2

3) InCorp / Cekindo (InCorp Vietnam / Cekindo group) — regional operator with local offices

What they do: Company incorporation, virtual office, accounting, payroll, immigration support (work permits, visas, TRC). They focus on rapid formation and practical packages for SMEs.
Estimated package (company formation + visa/permit): From approx. USD 3,500–6,000 for standard LLC + immigration support (basic visa processing + work permit/TRC add-ons). Their site promotes modular pricing — ask for a combined “company formation + DT visa + TRC” bundle.
Why I picked them: Large regional provider, good local presence and one-stop services.
Sources: InCorp / Cekindo incorporation and service descriptions. InCorp VietnamInCorp Vietnam

4) NovaLaw (Vietnam local law firm) — local firm with transparent minimums

What they do: Local Vietnamese law firm: company registration (ERC/IRC), compliance, visas/permits, corporate documents and amendments. Faster turnaround for legal filings.
Estimated package (company formation + immigration support): NovaLaw publishes a practical minimum cost for doing a startup in Vietnam — their baseline first-year cost example is ~USD 3,540 (this covers baseline company setup items; visa/permit processing would be an add-on typically USD 400–1,500 depending on scope). Ask them for a bundled quote for “LLC + DT visa + TRC” to lock price.
Why I picked them: Vietnam-based lawyers are often better on local detail and cheaper than big international firms for straightforward service businesses.
Sources: NovaLaw cost guide. Nova Law Vietnam

5) BBCIncorp / Offshore service providers (BBCIncorp, OffshoreCompanyCorp-style firms) — low-cost fast packages (use with caution)

What they do: Fast online ordering for company registration, bank account setup, and add-on immigration services. Good for very low-cost, fast incorporation, but check reviews and local presence.
Estimated package (company formation + visa support): Some online providers advertise “from USD 499” for basic incorporation and add-ons for bank accounts/visa services; realistic full packages (company + solid immigration support + TRC) are more commonly USD 1,000–3,500 depending on inclusions.
Why I picked them: If you need the absolute cheapest path and are willing to take more responsibility for compliance, these providers can be an economical option — but vet them carefully and confirm they handle DT visa/work permit end-to-end.
Sources: BBCIncorp / Offshore company formation pages. BBCIncorp – Hong KongOne IBC Limited

Quick comparison (very rough)

  • Budget / fastest: BBCIncorp / online firms — from ~USD 500–1,500 for formation-only; add immigration costs extra. One IBC LimitedBBCIncorp – Hong Kong

  • Balanced (value + reliability): Emerhub / InCorp (Cekindo) — ~USD 1,500–5,000 for sensible formation + visa packages (ask them for a bundled DT visa + TRC quote). EmerhubInCorp Vietnam

  • Premium / full service: Healy / large law firms — USD 5,000–20,000+ depending on scope, useful if you want white-glove service. healyconsultants.com+1

Notes & next steps (practical)

  1. Ask each firm for a written “LLC (WFOE) + DT4 investor visa + TRC” package quote that specifically lists: company formation fees, government filing fees, service fees, visa letter of approval fee, stamping fee, TRC fee, and estimated bank assistance fee. Ask for total USD cost.

  2. Confirm what’s included: virtual office vs physical office, registered capital assistance, capital deposit handling, and whether they help actually deposit/transfer the declared capital.

  3. Get delivery times — typical: 2–6 weeks for formation; 4–8 weeks for visa + work permit/TRC depending on nationality and processing route. (Times vary — confirm with provider.)

  4. If you want, I can: reach out to these five firms (via their pricing/contact pages) and request exact, comparable package quotes (I’ll draft the email or message for you to send). Which option do you prefer — draft outreach messages or do you want me to shortlist only budget firms vs premium firms?

PULL ME 5 MORE – LOW COST FIRMS

Nice — I pulled five more budget-focused but reputable Vietnam incorporation / immigration providers that commonly help small service businesses (LLC/WFOE) and investor/work visas. For each I show what they do, any publicly-listed pricing (or a conservative estimated range when exact package pricing isn’t public), and a source so you can verify and request a bundled quote (LLC + DT visa/TRC + bank help).

Exchange rate used: 1 USD = 23,500 VND (rounded). Always request a written USD quote from the provider — I converted VND → USD for quick comparison.

1) Vietnam Business Gateway (VNBG) — local specialist for lean setups

  • What they do: Local advisory & incorporation support; advice on low-cost setups and keeping compliance lean. Good for “budget but localized” help.

  • Public price signal: They note professional service fees typically USD $900–$2,500 for a standard registration (service-level varies by firm and complexity). This line is a useful benchmark for local-budget firms. Vietnam Business Gateway

  • Typical package you can ask for: “LLC formation (IRC+ERC) + virtual office + basic bank-account assistance + DT visa support.” Expect quotes in the $900–$2,500 band for formation; add $400–$800 for visa/TRC handling.

  • Why pick them: Vietnam-focused, oriented to cost-conscious operators. Good first stop to compare local offers. Vietnam Business Gateway

2) Tetra Consultants — lean, Singapore-headquartered option that covers Vietnam

  • What they do: Offshore/ onshore incorporation and immigration packages across Asia (company formation + visa processing incl. DT/LD routes). They specialise in packaged low-to-mid cost market entry. Tetra Consultants

  • Price/estimate: Tetra doesn’t publish a fixed Vietnam bundle on the page I pulled, but their regional model typically produces competitive packages ~USD $1,000–$2,500 for basic LLC formation; visa add-ons about $400–$900. Ask them for a combined “LLC + DT4 investor visa + TRC” quote. Tetra Consultants

  • Why pick them: Structured packages, good for lean founders who want a single point of contact across Asia.

3) OffshoreCompanyCorp / OffshoreCompany (online incorporators) — very low advertised formation fees

  • What they do: Fast online ordering for LLC formation, bank introductions, and optional immigration help. Good for cheapest possible path if you’re willing to manage more of the process.

  • Public price signal: They advertise service-company formation from ~USD $1,500 (service fees vary by company type). Visa and TRC are add-ons. One IBC Limited+1

  • Typical package you can ask for: “Service company formation + bank account support + visa assistance”; realistic full quote commonly lands around $1,500–$3,000 once immigration is included. One IBC Limited+1

  • Why pick them: Lowest advertised prices, fully online ordering. Vet reviews and confirm they handle DT visas end-to-end before committing.

4) Kế Toán Sao Vàng (Ketoan Sao Vang) — Vietnamese bookkeeping / registration firm (low local rates)

  • What they do: Local accounting & business-registration packages; typical local-language firm that provides low-cost packages (company registration, bookkeeping, tax code) and can assist with visa paperwork or coordinate with immigration brokers. Keto An Sao Vang

  • Public pricing (their published packages):

    • Basic package: 1,600,000 VND → ≈ USD $68.

    • Advanced package: 2,600,000 VND → ≈ USD $111.

    • Full package: 5,800,000 VND → ≈ USD $247.
      (Those are the site’s registration/package prices — verify inclusions; visa assistance is commonly extra; conversion used 23,500 VND/USD). Keto An Sao Vang

  • Why pick them: Extremely low local prices for the paperwork and bookkeeping; ideal if you want the absolute cheapest local provider — but you’ll often need them to coordinate the DT visa with an immigration specialist (small extra fee). Keto An Sao Vang

5) Vina Bookkeeping / VinaBookkeeping — local small-firm that services foreign small businesses

  • What they do: Local bookkeeping, tax filing, company formation assistance and payroll — they assist many small foreign-owned service businesses and can coordinate visa/document needs. Good for startups with small budgets. Vina Bookkeeping

  • Price/estimate: They don’t publish a single bundled “LLC+visa” price publicly. Based on local-market norms for similar providers, expect company registration $600–$1,800, and visa/TRC handling $300–$800 extra. Ask them for a single bundled quote. Vina BookkeepingVietnam Business Gateway

  • Why pick them: Local, practical, cheaper than big international consultancies; good if you want hands-on bookkeeping + tax compliance after formation.

Quick notes & caveats

  1. Budget providers ≠ no risk. The cheapest path often requires you to be hands-on and carefully vet the firm’s local presence, reviews, and included deliverables (registered address, legal representative, number of copy revisions, visa follow-up). VN local firms are much cheaper but can vary in quality — ask for references. Vietnam Business Gateway+1

  2. Visa work is usually extra. Many low-cost registration packages do not include the DT visa/TRC end-to-end — that’s normally an add-on. Always ask for a combined “LLC + DT visa + TRC + bank account opening” priced quote in USD. ATA Services VietnamTetra Consultants

  3. Public price ranges are indicative. Some sources show formation from ~USD $649–1,500 (very bare bones) up to $3,500+ for more inclusive packages. Expect realistic bundled quotes for formation + visa to usually fall in $1,200–$3,500 for budget-but-reputable providers. One IBC LimitedEmerhub

Next move (I can do this for you)

I can draft a single copy-and-paste message to send to each firm asking for a comparable bundled quote (LLC WFOE + DT4 investor visa + TRC + corporate bank account help) with a line-item breakdown in USD. That will speed up apples-to-apples comparisons.

Which do you want me to do next:
A) Draft the outreach message and prepare it for you to send, or
B) I contact the five providers above and request quotes (I will draft the messages but I won’t actually send them unless you ask)?

(If you pick A I’ll produce the exact short message you can copy/paste into contact forms.)

My name is [Your Name], and I am planning to set up a small, lean startup in Vietnam. The business activities will include digital marketing, website design, and 3D property scanning/photography services.

Because I am a lean startup, budget is very important — I am looking for the most cost-effective solution possible, but it also needs to be handled properly and professionally to ensure full compliance.

Specifically, I am looking for a package that includes:

  1. Company registration (Investment Registration Certificate + Enterprise Registration Certificate).

  2. Legal registered address (if included).

  3. Corporate bank account setup support.

  4. Investor visa (DT visa) for myself.

  5. Temporary Residence Card (TRC) for myself.

  6. Clear explanation of minimum capital requirements for my business category.

Could you please send me a written quotation in USD, itemized for these services, including:

  • Professional service fees

  • Government fees/disbursements

  • Estimated total cost and timeline

If you offer all-in-one packages that combine company registration + visa + TRC support at a good price, that would be ideal.

Thank you for your assistance — I look forward to your quotation.

Best regards,

HOW TO PROCESS SUBSCRIPTION PAYMENTS

Great question — Vietnam’s payment ecosystem is a bit different from the Philippines. HelixPay is strong in PH, but in Vietnam you’ll need to work with what’s widely trusted by locals and also what’s friendly to foreigners running a company.

Here’s the breakdown:

1. Local Payment Gateways (Most trusted by Vietnamese customers)

These are the “go-to” for subscriptions and recurring payments:

  • MoMo – Vietnam’s largest e-wallet (~30M users). Trusted for bill pay, mobile top-ups, shopping.

  • ZaloPay – Owned by VNG (the company behind Zalo, Vietnam’s #1 messaging app). Strong integration with local businesses.

  • VNPay – Very common; integrated into most banking apps. Often used for QR code payments.

  • Moca (GrabPay) – Linked to Grab; popular in urban areas.

👉 Locals trust these the way Filipinos trust GCash/Maya.
⚠️ Limitation: Not all are foreigner-friendly for recurring online subscriptions. Most work better for one-time payments or QR scanning.

2. International Gateways (Good for online recurring/subscription models)

If your service is digital (websites, scanning + hosting, etc.), these are safer:

  • Stripe – Officially available in Vietnam since 2020s. Great for recurring billing + subscriptions. Integrates with WordPress, SaaS, etc.

  • PayPal – Accepted but not as trusted locally as MoMo/ZaloPay. Better for foreign clients.

  • 2Checkout (now Verifone) – Works globally, supports recurring payments.

👉 Stripe is the #1 choice if you want automated subscriptions (like your $150/month website packages).

3. Bank Transfers & Cards (still very common in Vietnam)

  • Vietnamese often prefer direct bank transfers for recurring payments (standing orders or manual).

  • Visa/Mastercard usage is growing, especially among younger and urban customers, but still less dominant than e-wallets.

  • For B2B (like if you’re charging companies for property scanning), bank transfer is the norm.

4. What works best for you (foreign-owned company)

Since you’re doing subscription web services + digital products, I’d recommend:

  • Stripe → for recurring/subscription billing (foreign & local clients with cards).

  • MoMo or ZaloPay → to capture Vietnamese customers who prefer e-wallets.

  • Bank transfer option → as a fallback for conservative/local clients.

You can run all three in parallel: Stripe for automation, MoMo/ZaloPay for locals, and bank transfers for business clients.

👉 Bottom line:

  • For recurring subscription billing: Use Stripe (locals with cards + foreign clients).

  • To gain local trust: Also accept MoMo or ZaloPay.

  • For B2B clients: Offer direct bank transfer invoices.
