Vietnam civil litigation statute of limitations is a law that time limits a plaintiff’s right to bring a claim against a defendant. The statute of limitations in Vietnam is 2 years.

How EU (European Union) laws effect debt collection in Vietnam? 

If a debt arises from a transaction between a foreign creditor and a Vietnamese debtor and the parties select EU Laws to govern their transaction, Vietnam Court will reject to resolve the lawsuit regarding such debt. 
 
Vietnam signed a free trade agreement (FTA) with the European Union (EU) in 2019 and this has been enforced since 2020. The EU–Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) is a free trade agreement between the EU and Vietnam which was passed on 8th June 2020.

What is the debt collection process in Vietnam? 

Our general comments about debt collection process in Vietnam are as below: 
 
1. Amicable collection will save much more time and cost for the Client than litigation collection. 
2. Under Vietnam laws litigation collection will last 
i) 7-9 months for first instance court; 
ii) 4-6 months for appeal court. 
iii) 4-6 months for arbitration litigation. 
 
3.As a practice matter the settlement time is often longer than the above. 
 
The creditor should have the debt acknowledgment issued from the debtor to submit to the court/ arbitration to reduce the settlement time in litigation stage. 
 
"Article 6 of the Investment Law 2020, which takes effect on January 1, 2021, includes the “Debt collection service business” on the list of prohibited investment and business activities. Therefore, many companies that were performing debt collection activities that were established before (operating under Decree No. 104/2007/ND–CP) had to be terminated. From now on, only a lawyer or law firm can conduct lawful debt collection activities on behalf of a third party. More peaceful debt collection methods must be used."  
 
We used a local law firm in Vietnam for collections to comply with all local laws. 

Average length of time to collect a debt? 

The collection time is subject to some main factors (“Background”), such as (i) cooperation of debtor; (ii) sufficient documents proving the outstanding debt; (iii) good condition of the debtor to settle the debt. As the Background of each case is different with other cases, we, therefore, are unable to estimate the average length of time for b2b debt collection

Can late payment fees / interest to be added to claims? 

Under Vietnam laws, the creditors are entitled to request the late payment interest from the debtors. However, it is hardly to collect this amount in amicable stage since the debtors often refuse to pay the late payment interest. The Creditors may claim the late payment interest in litigation stage.
