For administrative procedures resolved under the “green lane” mechanism, processing times must be cut by 70-90%. This represents not merely a requirement for workflow reform, but also demonstrates determination to shift from a management mindset to a service-oriented mindset serving citizens and enterprises.

However, recent review results indicate that deploying the “green lane” mechanism still leaves a relatively wide gap compared to set goals. The reduction level for administrative procedure processing times currently reaches over 60%, falling short of the 70-90% requirement under Resolution No.14-NQ/TU. This requires all levels and sectors to continue reviewing, cutting unnecessary intermediate steps, boosting digitization, and innovating administrative procedure resolution methods to create substantive transformations.

According to reviews by the provincial People’s Committee Office, the province counts 2,074 active administrative procedures, including 1,633 provincial-level procedures and 441 commune-level procedures. Among these, 1,133 procedures directly relate to enterprise activities, accounting for 54.63% of total active administrative procedures. However, only 204 procedures actually generate resolution dossiers, equivalent to roughly 18% of procedures related to enterprises.

From review results, the Working Group of the provincial People’s Committee proposed 35 administrative procedures to be executed under the “green lane” mechanism, comprising 31 provincial-level procedures and 4 pilot commune-level procedures. Proposed commune-level “green lane” procedures encompass consultation in environmental impact assessments, land and land-attached asset registration along with initial issuance of land use right certificates and land-attached asset ownership certificates for organizations using land, inspection of project acceptance completion by local specialized construction agencies, and new construction permit issuance for Class-III, Class-IV works and individual housing.

Among the 35 proposed procedures, 24 procedures are newly added, 7 procedures are maintained, and 16 former procedures are no longer proposed due to generating no dossiers. Adjusting the list toward concentrating on procedures with real demand is evaluated as a necessary step to elevate reform efficiency, avoid scattering resources, and guarantee the “green lane” mechanism operates substantively.

Notably, numerous procedures generate large dossier volumes, such as motor vehicle inspection certificate issuance with over 8,400 dossiers annually, commercial transport vehicle badge issuance at roughly 950 dossiers, Vietnam-Laos cross-border transport permit issuance at around 1,200 dossiers, and transport vehicle medical quarantine exceeding 3,600 dossiers annually. Shortening processing times for these procedures will create major spillover impacts, contributing to reducing compliance costs and waiting times for enterprises.

According to specialized agency evaluations, current reduction options reach over 60% compared to standard workflows. While this represents a noteworthy result, it remains lower than the requirement set by Resolution No.14-NQ/TU. This gap reflects remaining “bottlenecks” in internal workflows, inter-agency coordination, and information technology application during dossier processing.

The primary cause stems from many administrative procedures having to execute simultaneous specialized appraisal steps under legal regulations, particularly across land, environment, construction, minerals, and investment sectors. Certain procedures require consultation across multiple agencies or field inspections, making processing time reductions difficult without concurrently improving coordination workflows. Additionally, dossier digitization and shared database exploitation across agencies remain unsynchronized, causing situations where citizens and enterprises must supplement documents already available in databases.

The provincial People’s Committee required departments and sectors to continue reviewing each administrative procedure within their management scope, formulating processing time reduction options reaching 70-90% in strict accordance with Resolution No.14-NQ/TU requirements, while guaranteeing no intermediate workflows arise and dossier resolution quality remains unaffected. Units must proactively review internal workflows and assign clear responsibilities among divisions and affiliated units to ensure “green lane” mechanism execution is substantive and effective, rather than merely shortening timelines on paper.

The province continues directing strict execution of reductions, decentralization, and administrative procedure simplification. In the deployment drive following eight government resolutions issued in late April 2026 alone, specialized agencies advised issuing 25 decisions announcing administrative procedure lists, including 84 newly announced procedures, 270 amended or supplemented procedures, 19 replaced procedures, and 201 abolished procedures. Timely updates of new regulations contributed to guaranteeing organizational execution consistency and facilitating citizens and enterprises when performing administrative procedures across the province.

The “green lane” mechanism only truly maximizes efficiency when procedure reductions are executed through substantive solutions rather than stopping at paper deadline cutbacks. That serves as a vital foundation to construct a professional, modern, transparent administration serving citizens and enterprises increasingly better, contributing to improving the investment environment, elevating competitiveness, and generating sustainable development momentum.
