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.

One of the standout aspects of my journey was the mentorship I received. My mentor “Yash Dave”played a pivotal role in shaping my approach, offering personalized guidance tailored to my strengths and aspirations. his insights, feedback, and encouragement were instrumental in refining my application materials and preparing for interviews.

A heartfelt thank you to my mentor Yash and the entire team behind the Capital Placement Program for their unwavering support and commitment to fostering career growth and development.
Being from the U.S.A, the prospect of navigating the London internship landscape initially seemed daunting. However, Yash, my dedicated coordinator at Capital Placement, swiftly dispelled any concerns. He took the time to understand my professional goals and tailored his approach accordingly.
Yash's assistance went beyond simply securing interviews. He meticulously reviewed and refined my CV, ensuring it resonated with London employers and highlighted my strengths effectively. His insights into the job market were invaluable, and his feedback significantly enhanced my application materials.
Yash's assistance was helpful during the interview preparation process. He gave me detailed advice on what to expect during interviews, useful recommendations on how to effectively showcase my talents and experiences, and conducted mock interviews to help me gain confidence and refine my responses.
For any student or young professional looking for an internship experience in London, I definitely recommend Capital Placement.

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.
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,
Herlyn Mortensen-Ojima
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.
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 ❤️
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
Thank you.
Thank you for all the support and for making my dream of working in another country possible.
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.
