Question: My name is David, Singapore citizen with Vietnamese spouse, settled in Ho Chi Minh City
I have two questions and need your assistance if it applies
1. Is it possible to sell a property by lease option in Vietnam?
If you does your agency know how to prepare the contract and set up an escrow to handle the matter?
2. I am planning to import herbal traditional cosmetics from India. Then distribute and market it here and set up a company to do that.
What is the overall charge of registering a single product with the health ministry for import? And what are the charges for registering as an import agent/company to handle the process?
Do you assist in the above procedures and how much would you charge?
