Answer:

Vietnamese applicable law stipulates duration for capital contribution. In specific, the Investor must contribute capital within 90 days from the establishment date of the Company. In addition, the foreign investor must contribute capital through a direct investment bank account (DICA).
Hence, if the Investor does not open a DICA for 8 months, the Investor will not be able to contribute capital and operate its business.
