Doing business in a foreign country is always a challenge but Hanoi is special.

After Doi Moi a flood of foreign companies came  to what was dubbed by the media “the Next Asian Tiger”. Government controls eased the transition and staved off economic chaos. The market economy wasn’t new to Vietnam – watch the grannies in any market – but these controls frustrated potential businesspeople. After the international financial crisis of 1997 when many foreign investors fled, a number of laws were changed to encourage them to return.

By far the best information for business people is in the AmCham website, read it and follow their suggestions.
