How to set up a Semiconductor Chip Factory In Vietnam

To establish a semiconductor chip manufacturing plant in Vietnam, foreign investors must apply for Investment and Enterprise Registration certificates. The first step in the investment registration process involves securing a location for the project. Foreign investors have the option to lease land from the government, either through a one-time payment or on an annual basis. Alternatively, they can lease an existing manufacturing facility from another enterprise in accordance with Vietnamese law.
