What documents does forming a company in Gia Lai need?

The enterprise registration file consists of: the enterprise registration application; the Điều lệ công ty (the company charter); the list of members, for a limited liability company with two or more members, or the list of founding shareholders, for a joint stock company; and copies of the legal documents of the legal representative and of the contributing members or shareholders, except for individuals whose personal identification number is declared (article 24 of Nghị định 168/2025/NĐ-CP, Decree 168/2025).

Where a contributing member is an organisation, the file also needs a copy of its establishment decision, enterprise registration certificate or equivalent, together with the instrument appointing the person who will manage its capital contribution.

The choice of company form (single-member limited liability company, limited liability company with two or more members, joint stock company, partnership) bears directly on the structure of the file and on governance later, so it should be settled before drafting begins.

Where do you file a company formation in Gia Lai?

Since 1 July 2025 the former Bình Định and Gia Lai provinces have been merged into Gia Lai province under Nghị quyết 202/2025/QH15 (Resolution 202/2025), with the administrative centre in Quy Nhơn. The authority that now receives files and issues enterprise registration certificates is Sở Tài chính tỉnh Gia Lai (the provincial Department of Finance), Phòng Doanh nghiệp và Kinh tế tập thể (its Enterprise and Collective Economy Division).

Address: 181-183 Lê Hồng Phong, Phường Quy Nhơn, tỉnh Gia Lai. Telephone: 0256.3903666.

The former Sở Kế hoạch và Đầu tư of Bình Định (the Department of Planning and Investment) no longer receives enterprise registration files; the function passed to Sở Tài chính when the administrative machinery was merged.

Timing and cost of company formation

The enterprise registration certificate is issued within three working days from the moment a valid file is accepted.

The all-inclusive company formation service at Sao Việt costs 2.000.000 đồng, covering drafting the file and filing it on your behalf with the business registration authority. For clients in a hurry there is an express package that returns the licence in one day, with a surcharge agreed case by case.

Costs arising after the licence, such as the seal, the digital signature, e-invoices and opening a bank account, are not included in that package.

What to do once you have the licence

After receiving the enterprise registration certificate, the company needs to have its seal made, register a digital signature for electronic tax filing, register to use e-invoices, open a bank account and notify the account number to the tax authority.

Since 1 January 2026 enterprises no longer pay the thuế môn bài (the annual business licence fee): it has been abolished. The company no longer declares or pays the annual business licence fee, but it must set up its accounting records from the first month of operation, so as not to fall foul of its filing obligations.
