• Internships in the United Kingdom will continue to be funded until 04/30/2023.

• A Temporary Worker-Government Authorised Exchange Visa (T5) is required to complete the internship.

• To apply, a Certificate of Sponsorship is required, which we will apply for after the Erasmus+ funding has been approved.

• Once the Certificate of Sponsorship has been granted, the visa application can be submitted.

• In addition, an Immigration Health Surcharge may need to be paid for access to the public health service (after the visa application has been approved).

• During the application process the applicant will have to pay costs of 60 - 300 EUR (immigration health surcharge not included).

Due to the visa application process, we recommend that you submit a complete application for Erasmus+ funding 3 months before the start of your internship. To speed up the process, you can submit the following documents for the Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) application already with the Erasmus+ application:

• the complete CoS application form,

• a confirmation of the internship organization (acceptance letter) about your internship with start and end dates, tasks and duties (the confirmation must be issued on business paper and signed by the internship organization including date and stamp),

• English language transcript of records,

• passport copy,

• If the internship organization pays a salary: submit a scan of your internship/employment contract,

• If the internship involves working with children, adolescents, or in health care facilities, a police clearance certificate.

The title of the traineeship/position must be the same on the Acceptance Letter and the CoS Application Form as it is indicated in the Erasmus+ Learning Agreement for Traineeships.
