Can I work remotely from Nha Trang, Vietnam for an overseas employer without telling them?
Based on 1 discussion with 2 participants · Last activity: 3 days ago
TL;DR
There is no universal answer: check your employment contract, company policies and NDA first. It is safer to formally clear overseas remote work, as it can affect taxes, work-location rules and any required office attendance.
What the community said
Review your company’s remote-work policy and NDA. If they do not restrict working from abroad, there may be no explicit ban, but you should still confirm your employer’s position.

For Russian citizens, extended work from Vietnam can change tax residency. The discussion noted a possible 30% non-resident rate instead of 13%; verify the current rules with an accountant or tax adviser before relocating.

Even without an explicit contractual ban, working from Nha Trang may conflict with a requirement to attend the office several times a week. Written approval of your overseas work location is safer than dealing with a dispute after leaving.
