Vietnamese guest workers remit home US$5 billion annually
VGP - Over 700,000 Vietnamese guest workers remit home approximately US$5billion per year, reported the Ministry of Home Affairs.
They are working under contracts in nearly 40 foreign countries and territories, the ministry said.
In the first half of 2025, over 74,000 guest workers traveled to work abroad, accounting for 57.5 percent of this year's target.
Over the past three years, Viet Nam sent around 150,000 laborers abroad to Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and European countries.
Remittances play a vital role in supporting families and contributing to national economic stability, particularly in rural and remote areas.
Currently, more than 500 enterprises are authorized to provide overseas employment services for Vietnamese workers.
All workers must undergo orientation sessions covering customs, traditions and legal regulations of their host countries before their departure./.
