Following the administrative merger, establishing a company in Giang Vo Ward, Ba Dinh District, Hanoi, will see significant changes in administrative procedures, state management agencies, and licensing processes compared to before the merger. Accordingly, the former Giang Vo Ward in Ba Dinh District, Hanoi, was merged with parts of the natural area and population of Cat Linh, Lang Ha, Ngoc Khanh, and Thanh Cong wards, the remaining part of Cong Vi ward, and the remaining part of Kim Ma ward to form a new ward called Giang Vo Ward. This article by Viet An Law Firm will provide a more detailed analysis of Company formation in Giang Vo Ward, Hanoi: Legal requirements.
The information on the administrative merger is regulated by Resolution 1656/NQ-UBTVQH15 of 2025 on the rearrangement of commune-level administrative units of Hanoi City in 2025. Specifically:
…“5. The entire natural area and population size of Giang Vo Ward, a portion of the natural area and population size of Cat Linh, Lang Ha, Ngoc Khanh, and Thanh Cong Wards, the remaining part of Cong Vi Ward after rearrangement as stipulated in Clause 4 of this Article, and the remaining part of Kim Ma Ward after rearrangement as stipulated in Clauses 3 and 4 of this Article shall be merged into a new ward named Giang Vo Ward.”…
After the merger, the agency responsible for business registration remains the Department of Finance or its business registration offices. Business registration procedures, license issuance, and related procedures will continue to be carried out at these agencies, but there may be adjustments to the process, required documents, and processing time to suit the new organizational structure.
After the merger, the organizational structure of state management agencies may change according to the new planning of the local or central government. The agency responsible for investment remains the Hanoi Department of Planning and Investment or other provincial or centrally-administered city-level agencies. Project licensing, appraisal, and investment sector management activities will continue to be carried out at these agencies, but there may be closer coordination or changes in processes and procedures to suit the new structure.
Following the administrative merger, the process of establishing a company in the newly merged Giang Vo ward still follows the basic steps stipulated by current law. However, business registration will be carried out through the Business Registration Portal.
