HOW TO GET A BIRTH CERTIFICATE WHEN PARENTS ARE NOT LEGALLY MARRIED

02:36, Thứ Ba 26/05/2026

In modern society, not every child is born into a legally registered marriage. Some relationships stem from mutual affection but are not yet—or choose not to be—bound by legal procedures, and from these unions, children are still born as an inevitable reality of life. However, this very circumstance poses numerous legal challenges, particularly regarding birth registration and the full identification of the child's father or mother. Whether a name is recorded or left blank on a birth certificate is not merely an administrative formality; it holds profound significance for an individual's personal rights and entails other legal relationships throughout their life.

The legal nature of business capital contribution and business cooperation

09:36, Thứ Bảy 06/06/2026

Foreign or domestic investors wishing to cooperate in investment and business with individuals or economic organizations in Vietnam can choose investment forms such as capital contribution or business cooperation. Each form of investment brings its own advantages and disadvantages to the investor. Therefore, depending on their specific needs, investors can select the most appropriate form of investment.

THE DEVELOPER OF A MORTGAGED HOUSING PROJECT

14:15, Chủ Nhật 31/05/2026

Currently, taking out loans is a common method to finance the development and construction of residential projects. To secure their loan obligations, developers of residential projects often use the project itself or the housing units built within it as collateral at credit institutions. This raises a notable legal question: When a residential project is under mortgage, is the developer permitted to mobilize capital from other investors?

The tax threshold for business households in light of Decree No. 141/2026/ND-CP

14:10, Chủ Nhật 31/05/2026

From small alleyway coffee shops, family-run grocery stores, and online clothing boutiques to livestreaming storefronts on e-commerce platforms, all contribute to the vibrant and dynamic flow of Vietnam's economy. Behind the scenes, however, lies considerable pressure from operating costs, market competition, and, most notably, tax obligations to the State.

LATE PAYMENT INTEREST

13:27, Thứ Ba 19/05/2026

In commercial activities, time is money, and reputation is the foundation of all cooperative relationships. Each contract is not merely an agreement for the sale of goods or the provision of services, but also a clear commitment regarding payment obligations and mutual trust between the parties. In reality, late payments in commercial contracts are becoming increasingly common, disrupting cash flows, escalating risks, and directly infringing upon the rights of sellers and service providers. Therefore, provisions on late payment interest in commercial contracts have become a vital tool to protect the legitimate interests of the parties, while simultaneously ensuring deterrence and fairness in business relations.

DOES A LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE OPERATING REMOTELY NEED A WORK PERMIT?

13:16, Thứ Ba 19/05/2026

In the context of globalization and the rapid advancement of information technology, the remote business management model is becoming increasingly popular, especially among foreign investors in Vietnam. However, the emergence of remote corporate management and operation also raises numerous complex legal issues. Notable among these is determining the work permit obligations of an enterprise's legal representative when they do not work directly in Vietnam but still manage business operations from abroad. Although current legislation stipulates the conditions, scope, and subjects required to obtain a work permit, there is no clear provision regarding this obligation in the specific scenario where the legal representative is absent and has no physical presence in Vietnam. This ambiguity leads to varying interpretations, causing difficulties and limitations in legal compliance and application.

Civil Law

BORROWING GOLD, REPAYING IN CASH

15:27, Thứ Bảy 13/06/2026

In everyday life, asset borrowing is a common civil transaction aimed at meeting the capital and asset needs of organizations and individuals. While the subject matter of such loans is typically money, gold lending transactions have become increasingly popular. This is especially true in a market context where gold is considered a highly valuable asset for accumulation, capable of preserving wealth amidst economic fluctuations. However, due to the inherent nature of gold—an asset whose value fluctuates continuously over time—gold loans often entail significant risks and are prone to disputes regarding repayment obligations. Consequently, a key legal issue that arises is: Is the borrower of a gold loan permitted to repay the debt in cash?

Criminal Law

THE CRIME OF ORGANIZING THE ILLEGAL USE OF NARCOTIC SUBSTANCES

13:37, Thứ Tư 03/06/2026

Abstract: The article analyzes the crime of "organizing the illegal use of narcotic substances" from the perspective of the elements of the crime, and explores the boundaries between the acts of personal use, joint use, harboring, enticing, and organizing the illegal use of narcotic substances. Based on Article 255 and Article 256a of the Penal Code, as amended and supplemented by Law No. 86/2025/QH15, the article revisits the central question: under what circumstances does the "illegal use of narcotic substances" trigger criminal liability? Furthermore, the article compares the legislative experiences of China and South Korea to propose conviction criteria aimed at avoiding two extremes: letting organizers go unpunished and mechanically criminalizing users. Keywords: organizing the illegal use of narcotic substances; illegal use of narcotic substances; Article 255; Article 256a; Official Dispatch No. 89/TANDTC-PC; drug crimes; comparative criminal law.

THE CIRCUMSTANCE OF "COMMITTING AN OFFENSE TWICE OR MORE"

19:50, Thứ Tư 20/05/2026

In criminal trials, correctly identifying aggravating, mitigating, and penalty-determining circumstances is of great significance. The incorrect application of even a single circumstance can unlawfully subject the defendant to a harsher sentence.

MOTHER ABANDONS CHILD

15:51, Thứ Ba 19/05/2026

In recent times, numerous incidents of newborns being abandoned in residential areas, hospitals, or even in harsh environments such as garbage dumps and manholes during scorching weather have left the public shocked and heartbroken. These distressing images not only evoke deep sympathy for the unfortunate little lives but also spark outrage toward irresponsible mothers who coldly abandon their own flesh and blood. Tragically, the majority of these infants, when discovered, are either in critical condition or have already passed away. The most recently recorded case occurred in Phu My Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, where a woman abandoned her child in an alley immediately after birth, resulting in the infant's tragic death.

THEFT OF PROPERTY VALUED UNDER 2 MILLION VND

15:43, Thứ Ba 19/05/2026

Property theft is a prevalent offense in society. This act not only causes material damage but also disrupts public order and security, and infringes upon the lawful property rights of citizens. Although the law has strict provisions to penalize theft, this crime continues to occur in various forms. Currently, a highly debated issue is determining the legal liability when an individual commits repeated theft, but the value of the stolen property in each instance is under 2,000,000 VND.

VOLUNTARY ABANDONMENT OF A CRIME

13:32, Thứ Ba 19/05/2026

The article analyzes the legal concept of voluntary abandonment of a crime under the Penal Code of Vietnam, compares it with attempted crime, and elucidates the conditions for exemption from criminal liability based on the guidelines of the Supreme People's Court through Resolutions No. 01-HDTP/NQ and 02-HDTP-TANDTC/QD.

FORGING A SIGNATURE ON A WILL: IS IT SUBJECT TO CRIMINAL PROSECUTION?

10:43, Thứ Ba 19/05/2026

A will is a fairly common document in our daily lives, through which property owners express their free will to distribute their assets to others upon their passing. In practice, the distribution of an estate based on a will often carries a potential risk of disputes between testamentary heirs and heirs-at-law. These conflicts can lead to doubts regarding the will's authenticity, the most serious of which is the forgery of the testator's signature. From a legal perspective, this act not only directly violates the deceased's right to freely dispose of their assets and harms the legitimate interests of other heirs, but it also constitutes a severe breach of the law, raising the issue of legal and criminal liability for the perpetrator.

Whether you are a domestic applicant or an international investor living in Vietnam, understanding the legal roadmap is essential to navigating this life-changing journey.

HOW TO BUY SOCIAL HOUSING?

10:15, Thứ Tư 20/05/2026

Even with money, you are not guaranteed to buy social housing is a quite familiar saying and also a reality that many low-income earners in large cities are facing. In the context where commercial housing prices are increasingly exceeding the affordability of the vast majority of workers or low-income earners, social housing is expected to be a practical settlement solution for them. However, reality shows that accessing this type of social housing is not as simple as many people think.

13:39, Thứ Năm 13/08/2026

During the recruitment and employment process, to enhance the skills and professional expertise of employees ("Employees"), aiming to increase production and business efficiency and create a foundation for the enterprise's development, many employers ("Employers") are willing to proactively invest in training and vocational development costs for Employees. To secure the benefits from this investment, Employers often require Employees to commit to continuing to work for them for a certain period of time after completing the training course.

LEGAL RISKS OF PUBLISHING SOMEONE ELSE'S PERSONAL INFORMATION

10:02, Thứ Bảy 01/08/2026

In the era of booming social media, sharing other people's images and information with a simple click to "post" has become incredibly common. However, many individuals are unaware of the unpredictable consequences of their posts. International human rights law imposes strict regulations on the protection of personal rights and individual data, and nations worldwide are required to comply with these common standards. Consequently, Vietnamese law has had to strictly establish new regulations to keep pace with international trends in order to expand diplomatic relations. Many new regulations have been implemented to crack down on acts of profiteering from the violation of others' personal rights and data
