Germany intern visas
February 13, 2013 11:35 PM
Can / how can a US American get a visa to work a specific paid internship in Germany?
I'm considering applying for an internship in Germany that says it welcomes non-EU nationals to apply if they can be granted a work permit prior to starting. My understanding of European immigration policies leads me to believe that there is almost no way to just get a generic work visa in most countries. I know that entities like BUNAC will arrange your legal situation if you land an internship in the UK or Ireland-- is there a similar broker for Germany? What would be the options here? Thanks!

The relevant DAAD page gives some links that are probably helpful. Scroll all the way down for internships while not on a student visa. I'm not sure if you can contact DAAD, but if you can, giving you more information on how one gets a work permit is probably in their remit.
