CONDITIONS FOR OBTAINING A DOMESTIC TRAVEL SERVICE BUSINESS LICENSE

To obtain a license for domestic travel service business operations, an enterprise must satisfy several basic legal requirements under the applicable laws and regulations.

 First, the enterprise must be lawfully established in accordance with the laws on enterprises and have registered business lines suitable for travel service operations.
Second, the enterprise must fulfill the required deposit obligation at a legally operating credit institution in Vietnam in accordance with the applicable deposit level for domestic travel service business activities.

Third, the enterprise must appoint a person in charge of travel service business operations who meets the required professional qualifications. This person must hold an appropriate degree related to the travel sector; where the degree is in another field, an additional certificate in domestic tour operation management may be required. At the same time, the enterprise should also have a valid appointment decision or labor contract for this position.

Regarding the licensing dossier, the enterprise is generally required to prepare a complete set of documents, including:

✔️ Application for the license

✔️ Enterprise Registration Certificate

✔️ Deposit confirmation certificate

✔️ Documents relating to the person in charge of travel service business operations

✔️ Other relevant supporting documents as required

⚖️ In practice, carefully reviewing the legal conditions, registered business lines, personnel records, and consistency of the entire dossier before submission is extremely important. This helps the enterprise minimize the risk of amendment or supplementation requests and shorten the licensing process.
If your enterprise is planning to apply for a domestic travel service business license, preparing the dossier properly from the outset can help save significant time and costs.
