All legal documents issued by oversea authorities must be validated by the Vietnamese Embassy in the home country of the investor and translated into Vietnamese. PAID UP CAPITAL / CHARTER CAPITAL Generally, there would be no minimum paid-up (charter) capital requirement; however, in addition to the evidence showing the capacity to sufficiently contribute the registered paid-up (charter) capital, the licensing authorities would base on the amount of the registered paid-up (charter) capital to assess the seriousness and willingness to invest in Vietnam of the foreign investor for approval of the IRC purpose. The committed paid-up (charter) capital must be remitted into a Direct Investment Capital Account (DICA) in Vietnam within 90 days from the issuance date of the ERC.

8. MARKET ACCESS RESTRICTION RELATED TO WTO COMMITMENT AND FREE TRADE AGREEMENT To promote free trade, transparency and fair competition, Vietnam joined WTO since 2005. Under WTO commitment, Vietnam commits to (1) schedule tariff reduction for goods, and (2) open its markets for certain business sectors to foreign service providers. In recent years, Vietnam has actively engaged in several Free Trade Agreements (FTA) to help accelerate the country’s integration into global economy. FTAs that Vietnam signed represent around 80% of global trading partners. The FTAs fundamentally aim to obtain preferential treatment for goods and services and eliminate non-tariff barriers encountered by the party country of the agreement. They also set up a clear and transparent legal framework to govern trade and investment relations between agreement parties. Essentially, FTAs provide products manufactured in Vietnam easier accesses to party countries at preferential duty rates based on its origin and vice versa. FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement SIGNED AS AN ASEAN MEMBER for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) COUNTRY (Signed on 8 March 2018, effective on 14 January 2019) Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) BILATERAL AGREEMENTS (signed on 15 November 2020) EU - Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) (signed on 30 June 2019, effective on 1 August 2020) ASEAN - Japan ASEAN - South Korea ASEAN - India ASEAN - China ASEAN - Hong Kong ASEAN - Australia - New Zealand ASEAN - AEC Vietnam - Chile Vietnam - Eurasian Economic Union Vietnam - South Korea Vietnam - Japan Vietnam - United Kingdom Vietnam - EFTA (on-going negotiation) Vietnam - Israel (on-going negotiation) 105

9. FOREIGN INVESTMENT OWNERSHIP CAP Foreign investors have no capital contribution restriction except those restrictions under WTO commitments as mentioned in Section I above and public companies. For public companies, except for conditional business sectors where there is a cap on foreign invested capital, foreign investors can own up to 100% of the charter capital if this is agreed in a general shareholder meeting and recorded in the charter of the company. For commercial banks, foreign investors can own up to 30% charter capital; and other conditional sectors where the regulations do not specify a foreign ownership threshold, the cap would be 50%. 10. REFERENCE COST OF LIVING, UTILITIES CHARGES, MINIMUM WAGE RATES In Vietnam, the cost of living is generally reasonable, including the 2 largest cities, Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. Serviced apartments’ rental rates range from 400 USD to USD1,500 or more, depending on their location and level of luxury and facilities. Serviced apartments are often the best choice for expats looking for an accommodation in Vietnam. Office rental for urban areas ranges from USD15 to USD65 per square meter per month, depending on the office locations and its level of luxury. In addition, a management service fee may be charged at the rate of USD3 to USD8 per square meter per month. For travel, it is often easy and convenient to find taxi and Grab in cities like Ho Chi Minh, Da Nang and Hanoi City. The taxi fare is around USD 0.5 per kilometer. The electricity price in Vietnam ranges from USD 0.07 to USD 0.13 per kwh for individual/household consumption and from USD 0.04 to USD 0.21 per Kwh for business purpose. The mentioned fee does not include VAT. Source: www.evn.com.vn Non-domestic water price varies depending on the Company’s location and business line (VAT not included), with example rates in the table below for reference: For manufacturing 2021 2022 For service and trading VND 11.400 (USD 0.49) VND 12.100 (USD 0.52) VND 20.100 (USD 0.87) VND 21.300 (USD 0.93) Source: http://capnuoctrungan.vn From 1 January 2021, the compulsory minimum salary rates of workers will range from VND3.07 million (around USD134) to VND4.42 million (USD192) per month, depnding on the area (wages are understandably higher in urban areas). Salary offered to white-collar workers, especially in big cities, would be relatively higher than the required minimum salary rates, taking into account personnel qualification and capability. 106 Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry Ho Chi Minh City Branch
