As Vietnam continues to establish itself as an attractive investment destination in the Asia-Pacific region, an increasing number of foreign enterprises are seeking opportunities to expand their business operations in the country. However, entering a new market, especially a developing one with complex legal, economic, and cultural characteristics like Vietnam, requires thorough preparation and in-depth understanding of the specific market access conditions and regulatory barriers in each industry and sector.
