What Remote publishes for Vietnam
Remote describes EOR support for hiring, managing, and paying employees in Vietnam without the client setting up a local entity. Its page states that Remote is the official employer and supports compliance, payroll, benefits including equity, and other HR processes, while the client retains control of daily work. Onboarding is handled by a dedicated specialist.
Remote states that it owns its legal entity in Vietnam and does not rely on third parties for this service. This is a meaningful procurement signal, but buyers should request the exact employing entity details in the contract.
Its Vietnam country page also lists monthly payroll in Vietnamese đồng, a 48-hour standard week, overtime at 150% / 200% / 300%, 12 days of paid leave, 20% corporate income tax and 10% VAT.
Pricing signal
Remote’s global pricing page states EOR “starting at $599 per employee per month”, with no Vietnam-specific variation shown. The same plan is displayed as A$916 when the page is viewed in Australian dollars. Global payroll for companies with their own entity and contractor management are priced separately, and the platform has no base fee.
Optional benefits
Remote lists add-on plans available for Vietnam employees: international health cover in four tiers (Standard to Platinum, with dental up to $1,000 and vision up to $250 from Premium), business travel insurance, life cover from $50,000 to $600,000, and mental-health plans with one-to-one therapy in 35+ languages.
Vietnam rules check
On 14 October 2026 the Vietnam page still showed the 2024 regional minimum wage (₫3,250,000–₫4,680,000), not the 2026 rates of ₫3,700,000–₫5,310,000, and its contribution tables displayed 0% for every insurance line. Neither changes Remote’s legal obligations, but check any cost estimate taken from the page against the current figures in our 2026 hiring guide.
