A Chinese manufacturing firm expanding to Vietnam planned to dispatch engineers and executives to launch its local plant but was unfamiliar with business setup, visa categories, and labor compliance regulations.
Core Problems
Company registration involved complex documents with multilingual requirements; multiple visa errors delayed staff entry; senior management’s visas were rejected repeatedly.
Situation
Due to visa issues, three core engineers missed project start dates. The head office decided to outsource the full company setup and workforce entry process to a professional partner.
