Summer internship visa for Germany

Question

I am an Indian passport holder studying in the U.K. on a tier 4 visa. I have been offered a 3 month summer internship in Germany (from July to September). I have decided with the employer whether it will be paid or unpaid.

What sort of visa will I require (for paid and unpaid)? Will I need a work/residence permit?

Answer 1

As a non EU citizen then you will require a visa to perform an Internship in Germany. If it is paid or not does not make a difference to the visa.

These website provide some additional information:

• Germany Training/Internship Visa,
• Student Internship Visa.

Your employer should help you through the process.
