Thank you for trusting and sending your questions to FDVN Law Firm (“FDVN”), after researching the legal provisions, we would like to send you some references as follows:

 

According to legal provisions on land. To purchase paddy land, the seller and purchaser need to meet the following conditions:

 

First, general conditions as prescribed in Clause 1 Article 188 of Land Law 2013, include:

  • Having the certificate of land use rights;
  • The land is dispute-free;
  • The land use rights are not distrained to secure judgment enforcement;
  • Within the land use term.

 

Second, besides the above conditions, according to Clause 3 Article 191 of Land Law 2013: “Households and individuals not directly engaged in agricultural production may not receive the transfer or donation of paddy land use rights”. Based on this provision, in case you want to purchase the paddy land, you need to prove that you are the person who is directly engaged in agricultural production.

 

Households or individuals directly engaged in agricultural production means a household or an individual that has been allocated agricultural land, leased agricultural land, or having agricultural land use rights recognized by the State; or has acquired agricultural land use rights, and generates stable income from agricultural production on that land.
