As a foreign worker in Vietnam, which kind of insurance do I need and how much is it?
Foreign staff only need to pay for health insurance, whilst Vietnamese locals need to pay for social, unemployment and health insurance. The amount payable is based on the employee's salary as stated in the labour contract and is capped at 20 times the legal standard minimum wage.
