From April 3, 2026, pursuant to Article 18 of Decree No. 103/2026/ND-CP, the Government officially allows certain outbound investment projects to be exempt from the requirement to obtain an Outward Investment Registration Certificate. This marks a significant shift in investment management policy, reflecting the Government’s direction toward administrative reform and encouraging Vietnamese enterprises to expand into international markets.
Notably, this regulation not only impacts domestic enterprises but also carries particular significance for foreign-invested enterprises (FDI) in Vietnam, especially as many multinational groups are using Vietnam as an operating hub to deploy regional investment activities. However, to effectively leverage this opportunity, investors must clearly understand the scope of application, accompanying conditions, and practical risks during implementation.
