I am originally from Pakistan, and am now studying in Germany. If I wanted to do a summer internship in UK (full time) what type of Visa would I need? Is this possible at all?
I see that Tier 2 (General would be best), but on some pages, minimum wage of 20,500 pound was mentioned (which is impossible for any Summer Internship).
To do a full-time internship in the UK you would need a Tier 5 visa, not a Tier 2. And specifically, you would apply for a Tier 5 (Temporary Worker - Government Authorised Exchange) visa.
The sponsor offering you the internship must be listed on the Tier 5 sponsor register and you would need to meet the qualification requirements. As your question was posted over 2 1/2 years ago, I assume you would have learned this already, but should check the links anyway because there have been significant rule changes in the meantime.
