Do interns need a work permit to carry out a work placement in the UK?
For citizens in the European Union you do not need a work permit to carry out a work placement in the UK. Non-European Union citizens must provide a valid work permit to gain work experience in the UK which enables them to work full time. (40 hours a week) At Internship UK we are not able to provide this work paper. We ask that all applicants who are thinking of undertaking an internship programme secure their work permits before applying. We have the right to ask for your work permit before processing your application.
