Our visa support services

Since leaving the EU it’s now tougher for UK students to study and intern in Europe. 

We have built this visa service specifically for those doing internships in Europe who do not have an EU passport. There are no other visa services we offer – this is solely dedicated to Year Abroad, Placements and Internships abroad in Europe.

Services covered:

Spain: Internship & Study Visa

France: Internship & Study Visa

Germany: Internship & Study Visa

Italy: Internship & Study visa

Our visa services

We understand the difficulty of internships falling through last minute, costs piling up from the first call with a visa lawyer and the stress of not knowing who to go with. We will always do our best to be as transparent as possible with the total investment that you’ll need to get the visa and be with you every step of the way.
