Thai Nguyen has become one of Vietnam’s leading destinations for electronics and high-tech manufacturing FDI, anchored by large-scale smartphone and component production. ECOVIS Vietnam Law helps international manufacturers set up and operate in Thai Nguyen — from investment licensing to land, construction and labour compliance.

ECOVIS Vietnam Law serves clients in Thai Nguyen nationwide from our head office in Ho Chi Minh City; we do not maintain a local branch office in the province.

Why manufacturers choose Thai Nguyen

Thai Nguyen offers well-developed industrial parks, a growing skilled workforce and strong transport links to Hanoi and Noi Bai International Airport. It has attracted major electronics and component manufacturers and continues to draw new FDI projects into its industrial zones.

  • Investment Registration Certificate (IRC) and Enterprise Registration Certificate (ERC)
  • Industrial-zone land lease and factory / warehouse leasing review
  • Construction, environmental and factory-licensing coordination
  • Labour contracts, internal labour regulations and social insurance
  • Import-export, customs and supply-contract advice

Frequently asked questions

Can a foreign investor build a wholly-owned factory in Thai Nguyen?

Yes. In most manufacturing sectors a foreign investor can hold 100% and lease land in an industrial zone, subject to project approval and the relevant licences.

What comes first — the IRC or the land lease?

Sequencing matters. We coordinate the IRC, the land / factory lease and construction approvals so commitments are made in the right order and on realistic timelines.

Do you handle labour compliance for factories?

Yes. We prepare labour contracts, internal labour regulations and social-insurance registration, and advise on work permits for foreign managers.
