Obtaining license
License is a document given by the competent authority (the relevant Ministry) for performance of the relevant type of the entrepreneurial activity. An entrepreneur may apply for special license (or) general license. Special license allows to perform solely one or several sub-types of activity; whereas, general license covers all sub-types of the defined activity. To the contrary, for performance of certain actions an entrepreneur shall obtain authorization from the competent authority.
The license/authorization is required for those types of activity which meet one of the following criteria:
- Affecting the national security/safety;
- Consider using/consuming the restricted natural resources;
- Affecting negatively the environment;
- Putting in danger the lives, health and property of an unlimited number of persons;
The Law No. 176-VQ, as of 15 March 2016, On Licenses and Authorizations, provides for the main list of activities for which the license or authorization is required.
