Vietnam's legal representative requirements are more operationally demanding than many foreign investors anticipate, with residency rules and digital identity obligations directly affecting a company's ability to complete post-establishment steps.

Under the Law on Enterprises, every company must have at least one legal representative residing in Vietnam at all times. Combined with the corporate electronic identification (e-ID) requirements introduced under Decree 69/2024/ND-CP, who holds the role and where they are based determines whether a company can register for e-invoices, access government platforms and begin operations without delay.

For foreign investors who are not immediately resident in Vietnam, planning the appointment before establishment, rather than treating it as a formality, is essential to avoid disruption to early operations.
