Adjust Investment Registration Certificate in Tan Thuan Ward, Ho Chi Minh City

After the reorganization of administrative units in Ho Chi Minh City, Tan Thuan Ward was established on the basis of mergers from the areas of Binh Thuan, Tan Thuan Dong and Tan Thuan Tay wards. This change means that the addresses of businesses and investment projects operating in the area no longer match the actual administrative name. Therefore, investors need to carry out the procedures for adjusting the Investment Registration Certificate to update the address information for accuracy. Viet An Law would like to guide customers on the procedures for adjusting the investment registration certificate in Tan Thuan Ward after the merger of administrative boundaries through the article below.

The situation of investment projects in Tan Thuan Ward

Projects inside Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone

Tan Thuan Dong Ward plays the role of a focal point to attract almost all of the region’s foreign investment flows. The current Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone has developed into an advanced and high-tech manufacturing center, attracting about 250 investors from more than 20 countries and territories. Key investors come from Japan (nearly 70 enterprises) and Taiwan (more than 50 enterprises), focusing on areas such as precision mechanics, electronics, and semiconductor design.

Other investment projects outside Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone

In Tan Thuan Tay Ward, there is a card mentioning an Ascent Lakeside joint venture real estate project on Nguyen Van Linh street. This is a collaboration between Tien Phat Company (Vietnam) and Sanyo Homes Group (Japan). Unlike projects with 100% foreign capital and export targets in export processing zones, this project is aimed at the domestic market. This model reflects a prevailing trend in the real estate industry, where foreign partners provide capital and international quality standards, while Vietnamese partners contribute land funds and legal capacity.

In contrast, Tan Thuan Dong Ward has a large-scale project Asiana Riverside on Ben Nghe Street, invested by Gotec Land, which is a 100% domestically owned project. The presence of a large-scale project developed by Vietnamese enterprises right next to the FDI of the export processing zone shows that domestic developers are competing directly and strongly to exploit the housing demand arising from the region itself. Meanwhile, in Binh Thuan Ward, instead of attracting direct FDI, Binh Thuan Ward and neighboring areas play an indirect role in providing a supporting ecosystem. The presence of a series of international schools and international medical facilities is a prerequisite for foreign professionals and their families to settle down in Vietnam for a long time.
