Common challenges for businesses
If you are facing any of the situations below, Nanoen can help.
Unsure which category applies
You do not know whether your project or facility needs an Environmental Permit, only Environmental Registration, or is exempt.
Converting from old documents
You already have an EIA, a certificate of completion, a wastewater discharge permit… and now need to move to an Environmental Permit under the new law.
Dossier returned or supplemented repeatedly
Environmental monitoring data and actual treatment works do not match what is stated in the dossier.
Treatment works not compliant
The wastewater or exhaust gas treatment system does not yet meet national technical regulations (QCVN), so the facility is not yet eligible for a permit.

Frequently asked questions
Who must obtain an Environmental Permit?
Under Article 39 of the Law on Environmental Protection 2020, group I, II and III investment projects that generate wastewater, dust or exhaust gas discharged into the environment requiring treatment, or that generate hazardous waste requiring management under regulations, must obtain one when entering official operation. Operating facilities meeting equivalent criteria are also subject to this requirement. Nanoen reviews each project specifically by industry, scale and location.
How long is an Environmental Permit valid?
Under Article 40 of the Law on Environmental Protection 2020: 07 years for group I projects; 10 years for all other cases. The project owner or facility may request a shorter term.
Which documents does the Environmental Permit replace?
The Environmental Permit integrates several former component permits, such as the certificate of completion of environmental protection works, the permit to discharge wastewater into water sources, the hazardous waste treatment permit… Nanoen will check your existing documents to determine what needs to be integrated.
How long does it take to get the permit?
The timeframe depends on the competent authority, how complete the dossier and treatment works are, and whether an on-site inspection is required. After the survey, Nanoen sends an estimated timeline for each stage.
What are the penalties for operating without an Environmental Permit?
The facility may face administrative penalties under Decree 45/2022/ND-CP, together with remedial measures; in serious cases operations may be suspended. The specific penalty depends on the scale and nature of the violation.
