The more people go abroad to find jobs, the greater the demand for labor export loans. The majority of Vietnamese workers abroad have better incomes than domestic workers. However, they have to pay extra for language learning, health checks, and labor service fees.
Every year, the number of Vietnamese labourers abroad increases from 8-10%. In rural areas, their remittances are the main income of most households. A person needs at least 100 million VND or 5,000 USD for all expenses to work abroad.
