Ha Tinh has become one of Vietnam’s top FDI-attracting provinces, anchored by the Vung Ang Economic Zone and the Formosa Ha Tinh integrated steel complex, one of the largest single foreign-invested industrial projects in Southeast Asia. ECOVIS Vietnam Law helps international manufacturers set up and operate in Ha Tinh — from investment licensing to land, construction and labour compliance.
Attorney Vu Manh Quynh is the Managing Partner of ECOVIS Vietnam Law, advising international investors on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), corporate governance, and regulatory compliance in Vietnam.
Why manufacturers choose Ha Tinh
The Vung Ang Economic Zone combines deep-water port access with heavy-industry infrastructure built around Formosa’s steel operations, and the province has since attracted a growing base of supporting-industry and logistics investors seeking proximity to this established industrial cluster.
Ha Tinh ranked among Vietnam’s top 6 provinces for FDI attraction nationally, anchored by the Vung Ang Economic Zone and the Formosa Ha Tinh integrated steel complex (Ha Tinh Provincial People’s Committee, 2026).
Practitioner note (draft — pending Attorney Vu Manh Quynh’s review before external attribution): “Vung Ang’s advantage is infrastructure that already exists — deep-water port, power, and an established supplier base around Formosa. The legal work that actually matters is sequencing land access and environmental approvals correctly from day one, not the IRC filing itself.”

Frequently asked questions
Can a foreign investor build a wholly-owned factory in Ha Tinh?
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.
