Summary
We focused on the stories of Vietnamese trainees, but regardless of nationality, in most cases the amount that a technical intern can remit to their home country in three years is between 2 million to 3 million JPY. Subtracting the fees paid to the sending organization from this amount, the savings will be much less. To save more money, it is important to find a sending organization with lower fees.
