How long is the validity period of a Construction Permit?

  • Default validity period: According to Clause 10, Article 90 of the Law on Construction 2014 (amended and supplemented 2020), construction permits are valid for 12 months from the date of issue. During this time, if the project has not been started, the license will expire, and the investor will need to renew it.
  • License extension: The Construction Law allows the license to be extended up to 2 times (each time up to 12 months), allowing investors to extend the construction start time if they encounter obstacles. However, projects can only be renewed if they meet legal requirements at the time of submitting the extension application.
  • Consequences of not renewing a license: If the license expires and the project has not started, the investor must apply for a new license and start the process over again, which may result in additional costs and time.
