For cases involving the issuance of an Investment Registration Certificate not subject to investment policy approval, the investor shall also prepare the aforementioned dossier; however, the processing time is only 10 working days from the date of receipt of a valid dossier.

III. Conclusion:

The reduction in processing time reflects Vietnam's commitment to creating a pro-business environment. Investors are advised to double-check the financial proofing documents to ensure a seamless approval process.
