The service of licensing press conferences, seminars and meetings related to foreign elements are launched at http://www.ict-hcm.gov.vn/ by HCMC’s Department of Information and Communications.

People and enterprises can submit their dossiers and receive licenses via the Internet. 

Legal dossiers will be processed within three working days. Meanwhile, it will take 10 days for granting licenses to organize foreign-related seminars and conferences.

HCMC intends to apply the model in all districts, departments and sectors since 2010 on.

The Southern city occupied the top position in the 2008 list of websites providing online public services.
