Two ways to run payroll in Vietnam
Own-entity payroll
For long-term presence in Vietnam. Gracemark manages statutory filings, pay runs, and year-end reporting under your entity — with a named operator on South-Eastern Asia time.
EOR-run payroll
No entity in Vietnam? Employ and pay talent under Gracemark's local infrastructure via EOR — onboard in 2–3 weeks (eor), no local incorporation.
