Register a Business Address in Vietnam: What the 2026 Apartment Rules Mean for Your Company

From August 26, 2026, Vietnam's Decree 339/2026/NĐ-CP raises the fine for running a business out of a residential apartment. An individual now faces VND 100-130 million. An organization faces VND 200-260 million, more than triple the previous rate under Decree 16/2022/NĐ-CP. The change catches founders and country managers who started their company at a home address and never updated it, along with anyone weighing a first office in Vietnam. This article covers what Vietnamese law requires of a legitimate business address under the Law on Enterprises 2020, the three conditions tax authorities check before accepting one, and where the line sits between working from home and running a business from it. It also covers how to register a business address through a Dreamplex virtual office, current pricing and locations across Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, and the two-step process for moving an existing company off a home address without changing its tax code.
