- Land lease price (50-year cycle) : The current land lease price range in Phu Tho industrial parks is approximately 60-85 USD/m² for the remaining lease period (usually 35-40 years). This price is competitive and significantly lower than in key provinces of Region I (such as Hanoi and Bac Ninh).

- Land lease term : The maximum land lease term in the industrial park is 50 years , calculated from the date of issuance of the Investment Policy Decision. The investor leases the land from the Industrial Park Developer for the remaining term of that industrial park project.
- Investment registration procedure : Investors need to follow these basic steps:
- Please request approval of the investment policy (if needed) or issuance of an Investment Registration Certificate (IRC) .

- These procedures are usually carried out through the Phu Tho Industrial Parks Management Board under a one-stop mechanism.
