Internship Visa Process

Before you take on an internship in the UK, you will need a Tier-5 visa—specifically the Temporary Work GAE (Government Authorised Exchange) visa, designed for London internships.

UK Internship Visa and Timeline

The first thing you will need to do is secure a Sponsorship Certificate from an authorised Tier 5 visa provider. We work in partnership with BUNAC and AIESAC, allowing for a smooth facilitation of this process.
The visa sponsorship process could take up to 2-4 weeks at most, while the UK Visa and Immigration Office’s standard visa application processing time is 15 working days.

Internship Visa Rules (Tier 5)

You need to either be a full-time degree student or have graduated within the last two years before the commencement of your internship.
For those who do not speak English as their first language, you will need to complete a SELT (Secure English Language Test) with a score of 6.0 or above. We also accept a valid IELTS/ TOEFL certificate.
As a UK immigration requirement, you need to show Proof of Funds with the statement reflecting a minimum of £ 1270. This minimum balance should have been maintained in your account for at least 30 days consecutively at the time of application. This can come from your family or a guarantor.

Housing in London

Our standard housing options include a private ensuite bedroom. You’ll share the common kitchen and living spaces with other students, providing networking opportunities. Upgrade to a studio room for a private bathroom and kitchen by paying an additional fee based on the room rate. All our housing include high-speed WIFI, utilities, bed linens, laundry facilities, and a fully equipped kitchen.

Romoke Akiyode 1 week ago

My experience with Capital Placement was really good. I’m especially super grateful for Mandri who went over and beyond to help me prepare for interviews, encourage me and check in on me during my internship

Ambrose Shoukat 2 weeks ago

Finding a good job/internship in my own specific was biggest challenge I faced after coming to UK. I started to built my CV and being very job specific but still no success. After that I got to know about Capital Placement and their services.
In the process, I met some amazing people like Sehani, Yash, and Mandri. All are strictly professional yet will talk to you like your best buddies. Learnt a lot from them and being a student I would highly recommend Capital Placement and their services.

Robyn 2 weeks ago

My experience with the team at Capital Placement has been amazing! I highly recommend this service for anyone looking to become an intern. The team take time to understand exactly what you are looking for in your dream internship. My placement supervisor, Nan, did an amazing job! Throughout the process she has been friendly, proactive and organised.

Yvette Ibrahims 4 weeks ago

From the first meeting with Mishi, followed by the excellent work done by Sehani preparing my CV, and finally came Yash, who took the time to understand who I was not just on paper, and delivered the perfect company within two weeks. He helped me understand the company, helped me prépare slides for my presentation and I imagine he was cheering for me on the sidelines, because we were equally excited. I got a job offer within an hour from the time the interview ended. Incredible is an understatement.

Prasanna Balaji Singaravelu 2 months ago

You'll find the ideal internship program through Capital Placement. The team in Capital Placement was excellent in assisting in locating the ideal fit for me and also offered CV optimization tips. Yash was the person assigned to help me and he gave excellent support at each step. He was able to understand my requirements clearly and got me an internship offer within 2 days after onboarding. I have secured an internship at a firm that aligns with my interests. Working with them to assist in locating a placement is something I recommend.

Jaldhi Makhecha 2 months ago

Absolutely amazing!.

Thank you Nan and capital placement team.

Henry 2 months ago

My recruiter Yash was very helpful and understanding of my personal situations which will help him secure the right placement for me. The process was seamless and the other staff assisting in the process were very ready to listen and clarify any questions I had

KFadahunsi 3 months ago

I had a great experience with this Capital Placement. The entire process, from start to finish, was incredibly smooth, fast, and reliable. My agent, Nan Dondashe, was personable and friendly, demonstrated a remarkable work ethic. She went above and beyond, checking in on my progress regularly. Thanks to their efforts, I successfully secured an internship. I highly recommend this company for their outstanding service and dedication to their clients' success.

ayushi pandey 3 months ago

I recently had the privilege of working closely with Nan from Capital Placement, and I am compelled to share my overwhelmingly positive experience. Nan played a pivotal role in securing me an internship in the UK, and her unwavering support and encouragement have been nothing short of exceptional.

From the very beginning, Nan demonstrated a commitment to ensuring my success. Her willingness to address all my queries and concerns, coupled with her supportive demeanor, created an environment where I felt both valued and motivated. Nan's kindness and genuine interest in my professional development made her not just a mentor but a source of inspiration for me.

What sets Nan apart is not just her dedication but also her innate kindness and hardworking nature. She tirelessly worked alongside me, providing guidance and cheering me on during every step of the process. Nan quickly became more than just a professional contact; she evolved into a supportive figure that felt like family.

Nan's approachability and friendly nature made it easy to connect with her. She goes above and beyond, not only in terms of professional assistance but also in fostering genuine relationships. Her ability to resonate with people is truly remarkable, and I consider myself fortunate to have had her by my side.

I wholeheartedly recommend Nan to anyone seeking internship opportunities. Her passion for her work at Capital Placement is evident, and it reflects in the personalized attention she gives to each case. Nan's commitment to her clients goes beyond mere business; it is a genuine passion to see individuals succeed and thrive.

Without Nan's guidance, I wouldn't have navigated the interview process and secured my internship. Her motivational coaching and interview preparation were instrumental in boosting my confidence. Nan is undoubtedly a gem within Capital Placement, and her intelligence, kindness, and caring nature make her an invaluable asset.

In conclusion, if you're looking for a seamless and confidence-boosting internship experience, Nan is the person to contact. She is a star within Capital Placement, and I have the utmost confidence in her ability to tackle any situation with grace and expertise. Nan, thank you for making my journey a thousand times easier; you truly are the best.

I am delighted to express my sincere gratitude and share my outstanding experience with Capital Placement, specifically highlighting the exceptional support provided by Yash.

From the outset, the team exhibited remarkable efficiency, successfully securing an employer for me even before the introduction call with the recruitment team. Having contemplated a career change for some time, seeking support from Capital Placement was undeniably one of the most strategic decisions I made.

A special commendation goes to Yash for his unparalleled enthusiasm throughout the entire process. I am genuinely impressed by the level of commitment and professionalism displayed by Capital Placement, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services. Thank you for orchestrating a seamless and rewarding remote internship placement.

Without a doubt, a five-star rating!

Best regards,

This was the best decision I had made!!

I have been looking to enter into a niche industry of policy officer roles in the UK. I met Vinay, CEO of CP who put me in touch with Mavi.

The entire team from CP were hands-on from the get go. They went through my CV, made any necessary edits, scheduled weekly meetings. I was impressed at how fast and efficient Mavi was from the beginning. Thanks to the lovely work Mavi did, I now have two internships that I am taking on from this month. I am so thankful for both Mavi and Vinay for all that you did.

I would recommend Capital Placements to anyone who is looking for internships abroad and need a bit of help with it.

Muhammad Ibrahim 4 months ago

I was a fresh graduate from university and needed a role as a developer. These days, most companies value experience over degree so I was struggling to find a graduate job. I decided to try my luck for an internship with Capital Placement.

Mandri helped me by finding relevant internships. We had weekly calls for catch up as well interview practice where she gave me great advice to ace those interviews. I'm happy to say that I've not found an internship but a FULL TIME job with a startup, all thanks to Mandris help. Capital Placement is probably the best decision I have made and I would highly recommend them if you are looking for an internship.

Thank you to Mandri and Capital Placement ❤️

Constantina Iraclidou 5 months ago

He found a job for me quickly. Also, he was giving me good tips of how to be more prepared for interviews. Generally, he was professional and friendly which I believe is very important.

Yvette 5 months ago

The CP programme has been one that I am fortunate to have come across. Coming straight from uni, it was important for me to get connected early on to employers in the industry i wanted to venture in. Mandri was my assigned help, and she was very encouraging and supportive. We scheduled weekly meetings for updates on the progress and prep me. In the end, I was fortunate to secure a remote internship with the first company I interviewed for
which is based in London and has fairly good pay. I am really grateful for this programme and for Mandri's relentless help. Thank You! x

Tanya 8 months ago

I had an amazing experience with Capital placement! Their team was extremely professional, kind and worked hard during the whole process. I'm especially grateful to Yash who helped me find a remote internship in Finance without having any previous professional background in the field. His experience, as well as his positive and friendly attitude made things work out for me. Thank you Yash! Highly recommend this experience to anyone!

Adam Spiers 9 months ago

After reading so many positive reviews about this program I decided to try it myself. I was paired with Yash Dave, an amazing person who helped me get an internship in JUST ONE DAY after our first meeting. Yash is very supportive and communicative, and continues to support me with my current internship. I now have a new awesome internship and a great friend!

Lam 10 months ago

Capital Placement is a trustworthy company, and the process for remote internships is smooth. Mandri - the career advisor is very positive and encouraging to work with. I guess the minus point is the long waiting time for companies to answer; it is a hit or miss when it comes to opportunities, so it requires patience.

Jack 2 year ago

Good service offered by CP. It's a good place to get started with your career if you a recent grad or you want to switch to a different career. The only thing is that it could be a hit or miss with some companies in terms of what you are looking for so it might take a while to find your ideal company.

Kaia Jung 2 year ago

I highly recommend Capital Placement to anyone seeking an internship. The CP team is great and is always willing to help! I will never be able to thank Keerthika enough for her help and support! In a very short period of time, I finally received an offer from a British company. I am so grateful for the opportunity I never would have had without CP team!

Natalia Ledzianowska 2 year ago

I am glad I decided to plan my carrier with the Capital Placement. It is for me best way to find employer abroad. I could feel people in Capital Placement understand my needs and behave just as friendly humans, which was essential for me in this process. Keerthika was gently managing my calls. I am thankfull for that! Now I have started to be a challenger as I was dreaming about. The only minus is I was waiting for the first interview quite long, so it made me worried.

Goodness Omogbadegun 2 year ago

The team at capital placement showed so much empathy and professionalism! Reading their emails was always a breath of fresh air, like talking to a good friend. They listened intently and ensured all my requests were met. Every “t” crossed and every “i” dotted. They gave me no room to worry, and I am more than happy with the outcome of my application. I would recommend them to anyone!

Ashiklal Pyarilal 3 year ago

Words can't describe the amount of happiness I have with the help of Capital placement. Thank you, Vinay for guiding me and finding me the best company suited to my interests and field of knowledge. Special thank you to Lucie, Kit, Kithmi, and the accounts team who worked continuously to help me achieve my goal. I have landed my remote internship in an amazing company based in London in the most toughest and impossible times of COVID, which could not have been possible without the help of this team. I highly recommend Capital placement to anyone who is looking forward to securing their dream internship.

Folashade 4 year ago

Capital placement did a good job finding a good internship for me. The process was easy and not so stressful thanks to Vinay's help, every step of the way. I really liked how my CV was edited to look more professional and organized to appeal to employers. I am enjoying my internship experience so far.

Thank you.

Josh 4 year ago

Vinay was super helpful - offered great career advice and was always happy to respond to any questions I had. Capital Placement got me quite a few interviews which was great for practice, and I ended up accepting a role at the one that was most suited to me and my goals. The internship is really fulfilling and I'm learning so much at the job. Working remotely is also ideal because there is no commute, but I still have calls with my team multiple times throughout the day so you still feel like you work closely together.

Miguelina Arias 4 year ago

If you are looking for an amazing experience interning abroad then look no further. This team is willing to help you every step of the way and is always there when you need it. I have to say, this has been such an amazing experience (from US to London). I do not think I could have chosen a better option than Capital Placement.

Thank you for all the support and for making my dream of working in another country possible.

Angela Tang 7 year ago

Niranjan and his team are excellent in terms of placing a capable and enthusiastic intern with us. Not only we can be specific on the type of candidate we are looking for, but also able to arrange a quick chat with the candidate if needed. There's also minimum admin work to do so a very smooth and simple process.

Doris (the intern) has been an asset for Syft and I'm very glad we have her, especially we have a small team. She helped me to complete a lot of valuable analysis on our marketing metrics and conduct researches that will help us to shape our marketing strategy.

Toby Wong 7 year ago

I am was able to learn more and have a deeper understanding about the real business world through working directly under the founder. Also with friendly and supportive Capital Placement staff, I felt safe and knew I could ask for help whenever I needed to. CP also arranged social events like local walking tour of London and after-work drinks. My favourite part of the programme was travelling around the country during the weekends with the friends I made through this program.

FAQ

What kind of company will I be interning with?

There is no single answer that can be given to that question. It depends entirely on your internship preferences, your performance during the interview, and the duration you have applied for. The companies we work with range from start-ups to large multinationals. The one thing that they all have in common is that your internship with them will be both challenging and rewarding.

With all of Capital Placement’s programs, you are in complete control. If you successfully pass our Zoom interview, your CV will be presented to our partner firms that meet your career aspirations and you will have the opportunity to speak with your future Supervisor and employer. If you are not satisfied with the company you have been provided with, we can provide you with additional company options for you to choose from.

What do you mean by a guaranteed internship?

At Capital Placement, we take great pride in the fact that we guarantee an internship that is right for you. Specifically, once you have been accepted to one of our programs, we guarantee that you will be placed in an internship in the city, the industry and the type of firm you have requested within 8 weeks of the deposit being paid.

In the unlikely event, we are unable to find you a company that matches your preferences within the 8 week period, a full refund will be provided to you- no questions asked.

Can I change the company once I start my internship?

Once you have started your internship in London, it is not possible to change the company you are working for as your visa is tied to the company you are interning with.

I’m a UK resident; why am I not eligible for the London Internship Program?

Capital Placement’s programs are all about experiencing the rewards, excitement, and challenges of working in a foreign country. Most of us here have experienced it ourselves and are very passionate about having others benefit from it. Interning abroad is more than just about the internship, and this broad experience is something we are incredibly passionate about. For this reason, we will not accept applications for programs in a country from residents of the same country- you are far better off without our help for this. We would like you to build not only professional experience but also a global experience that builds your international skill set as a global citizen.

If you are from the UK, why not intern in New York or Singapore and challenge yourself?

Will I be paid during the internship in London?

Due to UK visa regulations, summer internships in London are unpaid. However, for internships over 3 months, we have numerous paid internships opportunities.

What is the difference between the Certificate of Sponsorship fee and the Visa Application fee?

Applicants who do not hold a valid passport from the UK or Ireland must have a Certificate of Sponsorship to apply for a visa to do an internship in the United Kingdom. At Capital Placement, the cost of the Certificate of Sponsorship is included in your program fee.

The Visa Application fee is something you pay directly to the British Embassy in your home country when you submit your passport and application for the visa to be stamped. This fee is not included in your program fee.

How long does the process take to find an internship after graduation?

Our usual process will take 3 – 4 months from placing the deposit to arriving in London to start your internship.

How do the payments work?

If you have successfully passed our interview and have received an offer to join, you will need to pay a deposit of £600 to secure your place on the program. The deposit will be deducted from the total program fee. The remaining amount will be split into two equal payments. The first payment is due once you have accepted an internship offer from the employer you wish to work for. The final amount is due once you have received your Tier 5 visa sponsorship.

What is the refund policy?

If Capital Placement fails to find you an internship that you are happy with, we will refund all your money in full. You can read more about the refund policy on our guarantees page.
