hi all,
Is it possible, if i were to open a representative office in Vietnam, that i could gain work as a either a consultant or contractor and the people that would employ me would pay my company (based in Australia) instead of hiring me as an employee? basically, do typical contracting or consultancy work using my existing Australian based company?
The reason i ask, is that i am at a stage in my career where i do not want to work for someone else or be "exploited" - and plus, i have a company that has several underlying specialised business associated with it. My skill set is rather specialised in that i have done curriculum development, taught at tertiary level, have extensive Project Management experience (which includes managing several large IT based project and also implemented online educational program), plus having extensive and proven IT experience in large scale and educational systems - and finally, media production and management of educational based media programs.
With the above in mind, i would prefer to work either as a consultant or contractor with companies/firms in Vn and not be directly employed as such. I have to move to Vietnam for personal reasons and this is how i would prefer to work.
So are the Vn'ese open to employing contractors or consultants from an external company - in this case, my Australian company? So they would employ my company to supply a person to come and do specific work (over a period of time) and they pay my company who then pays me. This would alleviate any concerns or confusion for them in not needing to do visa paperwork etc.
Any thoughts?
