About Us
Founded by an investment professional who has spent years decoding the Vietnamese market and is a local herself, Space Consulting was built on a single, vital observation: entering foreign enterprises donโt just need an administrative agencyโthey need a tactical local partner.
When expanding into a rapidly evolving economy like Vietnam, filing paperwork is only a fraction of the battle. The true hurdles are establishing trust, attaining operational clarity, and navigating dense regulatory frameworks.
We go beyond document processing. We actively architect the foundation of your operations, securing a compliance-focused, sustainable "space" where your business can aggressively scale.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to set up a foreign-owned company in Vietnam?
Establishing a 100% Foreign-Owned Enterprise (FOE) in Vietnam typically takes 3 to 6 weeks depending on the business sector and the issuance of your Investment Registration Certificate (IRC) and Enterprise Registration Certificate (ERC).
What are the monthly compliance requirements for businesses in Vietnam?
Foreign companies must adhere to strict monthly or quarterly Value Added Tax (VAT) declarations, Personal Income Tax (PIT) filings for employees, and labor utilization reports. Space Consulting fully manages this via our Monthly Retainer.
Do I need a local Vietnamese nominee director?
While Vietnam allows foreigners to be the legal representative, a resident director is required to maintain compliance. We provide secure nominee and banking facilitation solutions.
