Pricing
RedTab Pricing
This page covers execution fees — what it typically costs for RedTab to actually process a specific procedure or filing in Vietnam. Complex legal, tax, or sector-specific questions are handled separately through expert consultation, quoted per case.
Execution helps you complete procedures. Expert consultation helps with complex legal, tax, and sector-specific questions. RedTab does not sell one-size-fits-all legal packages — each type of support is priced and quoted separately.
These are market-benchmark ranges, not a final RedTab quote. Each range is labeled by how much market data backs it — Verified (matched against 3+ independent market sources), Estimated (1–2 sources plus inference), or Quote-only (no comparable market pricing could be found for this service, so RedTab quotes it case-by-case). Every range still needs a document and case review before RedTab can confirm your actual fee.

FAQ
Questions About Pricing
Are government fees included in RedTab's execution fee?
No. Government filing fees, notarization, translation, consular legalization, and other third-party costs are not included in the execution fee unless explicitly stated in your quote.
Why does RedTab show execution fees as a range?
Because the final price depends on the type of procedure, your documents, nationality, company status, industry, location, urgency, and case complexity. RedTab reviews your case before finalizing a quote.
Does the execution fee include lawyer consultation?
No. The execution fee does not automatically include consultation with an outside lawyer or law firm. If a case needs in-depth legal, tax, investment, or sector-specific input, expert consultation is quoted separately.
Why isn't expert consultation pricing public?
Because expert consultation fees depend on the specialist or law firm involved, case complexity, urgency, scope, and whether a written legal opinion is required — so it is always quoted per case.
Does RedTab guarantee government approval?
No. RedTab helps prepare, organize, and guide your case based on current information and applicable procedures, but final approval depends on the relevant government authority and whether you meet its conditions.
What if my documents are incomplete?
RedTab identifies what is missing or inconsistent and advises what needs to be prepared before execution can proceed — this may include additional translation, notarization, legalization, or expert review.
Can the price change after the first quote?
Yes, if new information emerges, documents are missing or inconsistent, the scope of the case changes, urgent handling is needed, or expert consultation becomes necessary.
