How to Intern Abroad in Vietnam

Prepare for an Internship

Set goals

Before you take off for Vietnam, ask yourself what you want out of the experience. Getting clear on that helps everything else fall into place.

  • Skill building. Want to sharpen your coding skills, understand global business, or practice your Vietnamese? Go for a placement that pushes you professionally.
  • Work style. Do you thrive in a fast-paced office or prefer a slower setting with coffee breaks and creative freedom? Know what pace works for you.
  • Personal growth. Maybe it’s your first time abroad, or you’re ready to dive into a new culture. Think about how you want to grow while you're there.

Understand the benefits

It’s no secret that Vietnam is an amazing country to visit, but when it comes to internships, it offers more than just charm.

  • Built-in adventure. Commute by motorbike, spend weekends exploring beaches or mountains. It’s easy to balance work with travel.
  • Affordable lifestyle. Meals, rent, and transit are budget-friendly, so you can enjoy more without spending much.
  • Cultural depth. Ancient temples meet trendy cafés. You'll experience tradition and modern life all at once.

Things to know

Living and working in Vietnam is exciting, but there are a few key things worth knowing before you go.

  • Cost of living - Vietnam is super budget-friendly. You can eat out, rent a place, and explore without draining your savings.
  • Traffic flow - Motorbikes are everywhere, and street-crossing feels chaotic at first. Stay calm and walk steadily; locals are used to navigating around pedestrians.

Visa types - Requirements change based on your internship length and pay. Some short-term gigs are fine on a tourist visa, but others need business clearance.

The highlight for me was reaching all of my SMART goals that I set before the trip. I ended up doing Muoy Thai twice a week and losing 9kg in 6 months. I practised my Thai and can now understand and speak small phrases in a conversation. I have tried different Thai foods at loads of different restaurants. I managed to create a healthy routine that allowed me to socialise, have alone time, work out and get work done efficiently.
