Hiring Remote Workers in Vietnam: A U.S. Employer’s Legal & Tax Guide

Vietnam is talent-rich and cost-effective — but U.S. employers must avoid misclassification and permanent establishment (PE) risks.

Two compliance pitfalls to avoid

  • Calling employees “contractors” while directing hours/work/tools
  • Triggering PE by generating revenue in Vietnam

The safest path: Employer of Record (EOR)

  • You find talent; EOR hires on a local, compliant entity
  • Contracts, payroll, taxes, and benefits handled locally
  • You manage the day-to-day work

This eliminates misclassification and PE risk.
