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.
