In the implementation of the Land Law and related regulations, many investment projects and land-related dossiers have been delayed due to inconsistent interpretation and application of legal provisions, particularly during transitional policy periods.
To address these issues, Resolution No. 254/2025/QH15 was promulgated to remove legal obstacles and unlock land resources for socio-economic development. To ensure uniform and effective implementation, Decree No. 49/2026/ND-CP was issued to provide detailed guidance.
A key focus of Decree No. 49/2026/ND-CP is the clarification of principles applicable to ongoing projects and pending land dossiers affected by changes in land policy.
The Decree aims to:
Harmonize the application of land law across local authorities
Establish clear legal grounds for handling long-pending dossiers
Reduce delays caused by regulatory uncertainty
This enhances transparency and predictability in land law enforcement.
In practice, many land-related difficulties arise from procedural and administrative processes rather than substantive law. Decree No. 49/2026/ND-CP provides guidance on key procedures, including:
Land allocation, land lease and extension of land use terms
Change of land use purposes
Issuance of land use right certificates
Land procedures associated with investment projects
Clearer procedures and responsibilities help minimize legal risks and administrative inefficiencies.
The issuance of Decree No. 49/2026/ND-CP is expected to:
Unblock stalled investment projects
Enhance legal certainty for business and investment activities
Reduce the likelihood of administrative disputes and complaints
However, application of the Decree is not automatic. Each case must be assessed individually based on applicable legal conditions and transitional provisions.
Proper understanding and application of Decree No. 49/2026/ND-CP are essential to protecting the lawful rights and interests of businesses and land users.
