Asia Internship Program (AIP) Reviews

I had an amazing experience with AIP during my 4-week internship in Tokyo! From start to finish, everything was well-organised, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. The internship placement was a great fit, allowing me to gain valuable hands-on experience while immersing myself in Japanese work culture.

One of the highlights was the accommodation—it was in a fantastic location, making it easy to explore Tokyo during my free time. Having a comfortable and convenient place to stay really added to the experience.

A special shoutout to Herlyn, who was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. She was always there to answer any questions and made sure everything went smoothly. Her support made a huge difference, and I truly appreciated it!

Overall, I highly recommend AIP for anyone looking for an international internship experience. It’s a great way to gain work experience while exploring an amazing city like Tokyo!

After searching for an internship on my own without success, I decided to reach out to AIP, and it turned out to be the best decision I could have made. They took the time to understand my goals and quickly matched me with an amazing company in Singapore. The entire process was smooth and stress-free, thanks to their professional and attentive team. They checked in regularly, making sure I was settling in well and had everything I needed. I’m truly grateful for their support and highly recommend AIP to anyone looking for an incredible internship abroad.

I did a 5-month internship in South Korea through AIP's traveler program, which included the internship placement, accommodation, and an airport shuttle. It was an incredible experience living in Korea, and I had a lot of fun working in social media content creation. While my internship didn’t fully match my field of study, I still gained valuable experience.

The accommodation was about 40 minutes from my workplace, and I appreciated having direct contact with the landlord in case of any issues. The organisation handled the booking, which was convenient, though the overall cost reflected the convenience and support provided.
That being said, for those who have never been abroad alone, it might be worth it to avoid the hassle of arranging everything yourself.

AIP provided general information about the visa process, but since it was a bit unclear to me, I reached out to the German visa office for further clarification.

The initial arrival process was also a bit confusing, as I wasn’t sure where to go after being dropped off at my accommodation. Thankfully, I had the contact to my internship supervisor, who responded quickly when I needed guidance.

Overall, AIP checked in with me occasionally, and the process of securing an internship was much easier than applying to companies directly. I’d recommend this program to those who have the budget for it and want a smoother transition into interning abroad, especially if it's their first time traveling alone.

I am super happy with the experiences I had—definitely a time I won’t forget.

AIP helped me find a great internship in Japan. When looking for opportunities from the UK, I found it very difficult to understand the process and to find companies which accept English-only speakers. Luckily, AIP helped me create a good CV and contacted multiple companies to set up interviews. My internship was 6 months long and I enjoyed all of it! I was lucky to have really kind coworkers and despite leaving Japan, I’m sure I will see them again. Thank you for giving me this opportunity and helping me make my first step :)

I had a fantastic experience with AIP throughout my internship in Seoul. From the very beginning, their team was incredibly communicative and always available to assist with any questions or concerns. The placement they arranged provided me with valuable learning opportunities, and I built a great relationship with my boss.

The accommodations were comfortable and well-managed, and my landlord was very helpful, making my stay in Seoul even more enjoyable. AIP's support made the entire process smooth, and I truly appreciate their dedication to ensuring a positive experience.

I highly recommend AIP to anyone looking for an internship abroad. Their professionalism, excellent communication, and constant availability made this an unforgettable opportunity.

I had an amazing experience with AIP during my internship in South Korea. From start to finish, the team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and dedication, making the entire journey seamless and memorable. Choosing to embark on an overseas internship can be a daunting decision, but with AIP's unwavering support, it turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life.

The initial process of applying and preparing for the internship was straightforward, thanks to AIP's guidance. They took the time to understand my goals and preferences, helping to match me with an internship that aligned with my career aspirations. Their step-by-step approach made everything feel manageable, even when navigating the complexities of working abroad. From visa applications to pre-departure briefings, they ensured that I felt fully prepared before leaving for South Korea.

Once I arrived, the level of support continued to impress me. The AIP team went above and beyond to ensure that I settled in comfortably and felt at home in a new environment. They provided detailed information about local culture, transportation, and even tips for adapting to life in Korea. Whenever I had a question or needed assistance, they were always just a message or call away. It was reassuring to know that I could rely on them for anything, whether it was related to work or adjusting to life in a foreign country.

The internship itself was an incredible opportunity to grow both personally and professionally. AIP connected me with a company that offered meaningful projects and responsibilities, allowing me to develop valuable skills while gaining real-world experience. Beyond the professional aspects, living and working in South Korea gave me a chance to immerse myself in a vibrant and dynamic culture. From exploring bustling cities like Seoul to enjoying traditional Korean cuisine and festivals, every moment was enriching.

One of the standout aspects of AIP’s service was their continued involvement throughout my stay. They regularly checked in to ensure that everything was going smoothly and were quick to address any concerns. This level of care truly set them apart and made me feel like I wasn’t just another client but someone whose experience genuinely mattered to them.

Reflecting on my time in South Korea, I am incredibly grateful to AIP for making it all possible. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine passion for creating positive experiences for their clients made a significant difference. The connections I made, the skills I gained, and the memories I created during this internship are things I will cherish for a lifetime.

If you are considering an overseas internship, I cannot recommend AIP enough. They take the stress out of the process and provide unmatched support, allowing you to focus on making the most of your experience. Whether you're looking to advance your career or simply broaden your horizons, AIP is the perfect partner to help you achieve your goals.

Great experience and AIP was extremely helpful in ensuring our safety and welfare. They go beyond office hours to ensure that the interns are coping and managing well in a foreign country. It has been a wonderful experience thanks to the great AIP team that made this expensive an unforgettable one. The service they provided was also extremely fast and prompt, they make sure all problems are solved almost instantaneously. Most importantly, they make sure that the intern feels safe and very welcomed.

I did 3 months internship in software development as a recent graduate (not a student anymore). I got myself the cheapest package (which is already expensive if you are not from a rich family) but you can get some entrance discount and also there was a discount if you pay the deposit within 24 hours after being accepted (I needed to ask for the discount, they didn't give it automatically).

AIP found a company that exactly matched my requirements. A small company (around 10 people) near the center of Bangkok. The interview was very easy, and both sides accepted each other right away.

After paying the final price, I got all the necessary documents for the visa - this was quite complicated as different people from AIP said different information about applying for the visa. I had plenty of time, and I successfully got my internship visa for 90 days in 3 weeks.

Everyone in AIP was very nice and helpful, but sometimes it took them too long to reply - or I had to send more messages/emails to get the answers. During my time there, we had a WhatsApp group, and they helped me with many things, even not related to the internship.

If you go through everything on their webpage or social media, you might get too high expectations and be prepared that you might end up as disappointed as me. All the hype - that you will find their friends, contacts, and companies might offer you to stay working full-time -> you will need to be very lucky to achieve that. Especially in programming branches. I've found out that it is very common for programmers who are very quiet, introverted, and normally don't talk at work place together. In the office where I did the internship, people usually didn't say "hi" when entering. They just walked in, changed shoes, sat at the desk with a computer, and worked until lunchtime. During lunchtime, most of them were playing on their phones, and they didn't discuss something about their not-work-related activities or anything. After lunch, again, just quietly work till the end of the work day - actually usually even longer. Of course, they were helpful if I asked for help. Someone always helped me and explained the possible solutions to my problem.
I gained some work experience but not friends or some nice memories (related to work place and my colleagues).
After a week of coming back home, I felt like nothing like that ever happened.

But to rate AIP - they did a good job, they also tried to encourage me when I was feeling too lonely, they bought me a cake for my birthday and we went for karaoke together. Without them, I won't be able to find a good company and get a visa. But I will take one star off the rating for setting my expectations too high (ending up so disappointed), the chaos about visas, and forgetting to respond to my messages from time to time.

Super grateful to have an opportunity to embark on a 5-week internship with AIP, would like to thank AIP for their high efficiency and for helping us to make this internship possible.

Would highly recommend students to give an overseas internship with the help of AIP! Managed to learn things that I did not have a chance to pick up in Singapore and it was an extremely eye-opening experience for me. Also thankful to be able to immerse myself in the Taiwan culture fully and learn more about it, highly recommend

Very very fun and extremely immaculately enjoyable! Very helpful, friendly and approachable AIP staff. The AIP people are very passionate and warm as well. Glad I did this internship! Hosted 1 hotpot dinner with other interns here in Taiwan and free airport drop off :) Had a great time and enjoyed it a lot. Was also fortunate to have a good intern company here in Taiwan. In addition, other interns in Taiwan were also tremendously fun to hang out with! Very happy with this experience overall! Thank you!
