In Vietnam, the land is owned by the State. The investors can lease land lot to establish their project. The foreign investor can either lease land or rent an existing factory space. There are three ways of leasing a factory site.
a. The investor can approach the Hanoi People Committee requesting recommendations on different properties available for setting up a factory. If the authority finds a site which would be convenient for the investor to set up its factory then the proposal shall be discussed with the investor. If the site is not vacant then the investor would have to take necessary steps to make the site ready for operation..
b. The other option is to lease out a site at some Industrial Parks which is an attractive alternative for the facilities and investment cost. The investor can enter into an “In-Principle Agreement for the Land Lease” with the landlord of the site or concerned authorities of the Industrial Park.
c. The last option would be to lease an existing factory site and enter into an Agreement with the concerned Vietnamese company.
