Starting a UK company from Vietnam can be handled remotely through Form My Company’s Non-UK Residents UK Company Formation & Registration package. It is designed for founders who want to incorporate a UK limited company without travelling to the UK or maintaining a physical presence there.
The entire process is completed remotely from Vietnam, so no UK visa, travel or physical presence is required to form or run the company through this package. Your UK company administration can be managed online, while the package provides a Bolton BL1 1BR registered office and director service address for public-facing address requirements.
The package combines formation documents, address services, mail handling and first-year administrative support. It is intended for founders managing a UK company from abroad who want the practical administration arranged through one package.
What is the Non-UK Residents UK Company Formation package?
The package brings together formation documents and administrative services for remote UK incorporation. Companies House requires a limited company to have a registered office that is a physical UK address meeting the appropriate-address requirements.
Form My Company provides the registered office at Bolton BL1 1BR together with a director service address. A founder based in Vietnam can therefore use UK address arrangements for relevant public records rather than using a Vietnam home address as the company’s registered office or the director’s public service address.
The package also covers digital and printed documents, statutory-book maintenance, confirmation statement support and international document delivery. Companies House currently lists the standard online incorporation fee at £100; any statutory fee and package pricing should be checked at the point of purchase.

What is included in the package?
Company formation in less than 3 hours
Company formation in less than 3 hours (subject to Companies House processing times, weekends and bank holidays; delays may occur if incorrect or incomplete information is submitted or due to technical complexities).
This is the stated package timeframe, not a guarantee of a fixed Companies House decision time. Companies House says standard online applications are normally processed within 24 hours, although complex applications can take longer.
Free Wise Business Account with a UK account number and sort code
Free Wise Business Account with a UK account number and sort code (Wise Business Account applications are subject to eligibility and are approved entirely at the discretion of Wise; Form My Company acts only as a referrer and does not guarantee account approval).
The feature provides a route to apply for a Wise Business Account after formation, subject to Wise’s own eligibility and approval process. Approval is separate from company incorporation.
Digital Certificate of Incorporation
The Digital Certificate of Incorporation provides an electronic record of the company’s formation. It can be stored with your online corporate documents and supplied when company evidence is required.
Digital Share Certificates
Digital Share Certificates provide an electronic record of the company’s shareholdings. They keep ownership documentation accessible while you manage the company from Vietnam.
Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA)
The Digital Memorandum of Association (MoA) is supplied electronically as part of the company’s formation documents. It forms part of the constitutional record created at incorporation.
Digital Articles of Association (AoA)
The Digital Articles of Association (AoA) provide the company’s governing rules in digital form. Keeping this document accessible online gives the founder a practical reference for the company’s constitutional arrangements.
Printed Certificate of Incorporation
The Printed Certificate of Incorporation provides a physical copy of the company’s incorporation certificate. It gives you a paper record alongside the digital version for your corporate files.
Printed Share Certificates
Printed Share Certificates provide physical copies of the company’s share documentation. They complement the digital records and provide a tangible ownership record.
International document delivery
International document delivery (if post or documents need to be received at the customer’s address, standard mail handling charges apply; each scanned item emailed is charged at £2 per copy; shipping charges are on the Document Shipping page — link this).
For a founder in Vietnam, this provides an option for relevant physical documents to be sent internationally to Vietnam. Applicable delivery and mail-handling charges remain payable under the stated terms.
Maintenance of statutory books
Maintenance of statutory books keeps the company’s required corporate records organised within the package. This supports orderly records of relevant company information as the business continues after incorporation.
Free Confirmation Statement preparation and filing
Free Confirmation Statement preparation and filing (free for the first year; renewal available through this package for the applicable renewal fee via the File a Confirmation Statement service — link this).
A confirmation statement confirms or updates information held by Companies House. Companies must continue meeting their filing responsibilities after incorporation, so accurate company information remains important.
File a Confirmation Statement service
Free prestigious Registered Office Address in Bolton BL1 1BR
Free prestigious Registered Office Address in Bolton BL1 1BR (free for the first year; renews at £399.99+VAT for each subsequent 12-month period from the renewal date).
A registered office is the company’s official address for relevant formal correspondence and is shown on the public register. GOV.UK requires it to be a physical UK address in the same country of registration and to meet the appropriate-address requirements.
Free Director Service Address
Free Director Service Address to keep the customer’s residential address private.
The director service address is the public correspondence address associated with the director. Using the Bolton BL1 address allows a founder in Vietnam to avoid using a Vietnam home address as the public service address while still providing the genuine residential information required by Companies House where applicable.
Free registered office mail forwarding for 1 year
Free registered office mail forwarding for 1 year (free for the first year; eligible official government correspondence is scanned and digitally forwarded; the first 10 scanned copies are free, each additional scanned copy is £2; a printed copy of an eligible document is provided free, but Royal Mail postage/delivery charges to the customer are payable by the customer; shipping charges are on the Document Shipping page — link this; documents classed as official government mail are listed on the Official Government Mail Guide blog post — link this).
This arrangement helps a founder in Vietnam receive eligible official correspondence digitally while operating abroad.
What Is Official Government Mail guide
International tracked delivery
International tracked delivery provides a tracked option when physical documents need to be sent internationally. For Vietnam-based founders, tracking allows the progress of an eligible shipment to be monitored after dispatch.
No complicated administrative paperwork
No complicated administrative paperwork is included as a package feature. The aim is to consolidate core formation and administrative arrangements so the founder does not have to organise every listed service separately.
Priority 24/7 customer support
Priority 24/7 customer support provides access to assistance outside conventional UK office hours. This is practical for founders in Vietnam managing a company across a UK time difference.
No hidden charges
No hidden charges means the package has stated inclusions and terms rather than unspecified administrative additions. Charges expressly identified in the feature terms, such as scanning, postage or shipping, remain payable where applicable.
Access to an online user dashboard to manage company documents 24/7
Access to an online user dashboard to manage company documents 24/7 provides a central digital location for company records. This lets a founder in Vietnam access documents without waiting for physical paperwork to arrive.
The dashboard supports remote administration and keeps company documentation accessible while the founder operates outside the UK.

Annual Renewal Fee of £399
Annual Renewal Fee of £399, covering (for the first 12 months only, then renewing): statutory books maintenance, the first year’s confirmation statement preparation & filing, the BL1 1BR Bolton registered office address, director service address protection, and international mail forwarding (Royal Mail charges payable by the customer).
The renewal terms should be reviewed before each renewal date.

What does the package cost after the first year?
The stated annual renewal fee for this package is £399. The first 12 months include the services identified in the renewal description, after which the package renews according to its applicable terms.
The renewal covers statutory books maintenance, the first year’s confirmation statement preparation and filing, the Bolton BL1 registered office, director service address protection and international mail forwarding, with Royal Mail charges payable by the customer. Separate usage-based charges can still apply where the package expressly states them.
How do you stay compliant after the first year?
After the first year, the company still needs accurate statutory information and appropriate filing arrangements. Companies House requires companies to file information including annual accounts and confirmation statements, while changes to company details may also need to be reported.
Renewal continues the listed package services, but it does not remove the director’s responsibility for wider legal, accounting and tax obligations. If the company changes directors, shareholders, its registered office or other registered information, the relevant update should be dealt with promptly.
For additional administration, the Company Secretarial Service can be considered where company needs extend beyond the fixed package features.

Why choose Form My Company for UK company formation from Vietnam?
Form My Company provides a package built around remote UK incorporation rather than requiring the founder to travel to Britain. For someone based in Vietnam, the practical value is having formation documents, a UK registered office, director service address, mail handling and first-year administrative support arranged together.
The Bolton BL1 address gives the company a UK registered office and provides a separate public correspondence address for the director. GOV.UK confirms that a registered office must meet specific UK address requirements, while a director’s service address is used for public correspondence.
For founders in Vietnam who want to establish a UK company without UK travel, the package provides a structured route from remote application through incorporation and into the first year of company administration.
