What is the basic information to include in the representative office report in Vietnam?

The information to be included in such report would be:

• Full name
• Address
• Telephone and fax number
• Email (if any)
• Bank account details of a bank registered and operating in Vietnam.

In the case that foreign businesses have only one representative office (RO) in Vietnam, the name of the RO can include the word: “.... in Vietnam”. In the case that foreign businesses have more than one RO in Vietnam, the name of each RO must include the word showing the city or province where ROs are located, i.e. RO in Hanoi should have the name: “..... in Hanoi, Vietnam”.

In terms of the address, it must be the address shown in the license of the RO. In case the RO changes the address, authorities may pass by without prior notice to check whether or not the RO actually operates at that address.
