If I have already submitted application for enterprise registration in Vietnam, can I stop procedure for enterprise registration?

Clause 5, Article 32 of Decree 01/2021/ND-CP provides:

5. The enterprise or its founder may stop following procedures for enterprise registration when the application for enterprise registration is not yet approved on the National Enterprise Registration Information System. In this case, the person competent to sign the application form for enterprise registration shall send a written request for termination of procedures for enterprise registration to the Business Registration Office to which the application is submitted. The Business Registration Office shall consider giving a notification of termination of procedures for enterprise registration and cancel the application for enterprise registration on the National Enterprise Registration Information System within 03 working days from the receipt of the enterprise’s request. If the enterprise’s request is refused, the Business Registration Office shall give a written notification in which reasons for such refusal are specified to the enterprise or its founder.

Thus, a prerequisite for stopping procedure of enterprise (company) registration in Vietnam is that the application for enterprise registration has not been approved on the National Information System on Enterprise Registration. At this time, the competent person shall sign the written request for enterprise registration and send the written request for stopping the enterprise registration procedure to the Business Registration Office where the dossier is submitted.

Best Regards!
