If a series of licenses, business conditions and procedures are truly cut from July 1, 2026, how many industries that are living on sub-licenses will be most affected?

One of the documents being shared a lot on social networks in recent days is Resolution 66.18/2026/NQ-CP of the Government on decentralization, reduction and simplification of administrative procedures and business conditions in many fields. This is considered one of the strongest reforms in recent years.

The point that attracts special attention from the business community is that many procedures that were once considered time-consuming, costly and manpower-consuming are being proposed to be cut down or converted to a post-audit mechanism.

Some highlights appear in the viral document

What makes the business community talk fiercely?

For many years, many businesses have reported that completing documents, applying for licenses, certificates and operating conditions consumes a lot of resources.

For example, in the construction sector, shared images show that construction permit processing time can be significantly shortened.

Compare processing times

Previous Procedures
Construction permit About 20 days
License adjustment About 15 days
Individual housing level: About 15 days

According to the posted content, the expected time is reduced to about 10 days, 9 days and 7 days respectively for each procedure. This is a number that creates a lot of debate in the real estate investment and construction world.

The most controversial area is fire protection

In the shared tables, content related to the abolition of inspection and acceptance procedures for fire prevention and fighting is attracting a huge amount of comments.

A business group believes that this helps reduce project implementation time.

Meanwhile, many people question whether the strong shift to post-inspection will increase risks if actual supervision is not strict enough.

This is also the reason this content has become the focus of debate on real estate, construction and project operation forums.

The scale of reform is not small

According to public information, the Resolution involves a series of ministries and requires amending a large number of legal documents for synchronous implementation. There is mention of review and historyand changed dozens of laws, decrees and circulars to ensure effective implementation.

Many experts believe that if implemented correctly as announced, this could be one of the strongest moves to improve the business environment in the period 2026–2027. However, actual effectiveness still depends on local implementation and the ability to convert from pre-test to post-test.

The most debated question today

Does cutting down a series of procedures really help businesses save time and costs, or is it just the first step before new forms of management appear?

One thing is certain: from July 1, 2026 to February 28, 2027, many business fields in Vietnam will enter a period of huge change.
