How does the application process for a foreign investment license work?

For projects subject to investment policy approval

A number of large foreign investment projects affecting the security and socio-economy of the home country will have to apply for investment policy approval. In this case, the investor makes a dossier to submit to a competent state agency for a decision on the investment policy approval. Next, the investment registration agency shall grant an investment registration certificate within:
05 working days from the date of receipt of written approval concurrently with investor’s approval for an investment project subject to an investment registration certificate
15 days from the date of receipt of the investor’s request for an investment registration certificate, for an investment project not falling into the above cases.

For projects not subject to investment policy approval

In this case, the investor only needs to prepare the dossier and submit it to the state agency competent to grant a foreign investment license without having to apply for an investment policy decision. Immediately after receiving the dossier, the competent agency proceeded to process the dossier and made a decision whether to license it or not. As follows:
