GTI can sponsor UK visa applications for international students looking to join internship programmes in the UK.
GTI holds an ‘A rated’ Government Authorised Exchange Sponsor Licence which permits us to assign Certificates of Sponsorship on behalf of UK employers and provide ongoing visa sponsorship management during the internship.
Employers need to be approved by GTI and agree to meet the rules of the scheme before sponsorship can be agreed.
Get in touchThe initial employer assessment and set up with GTI can typically be completed within 1-2 weeks and is contingent on availability for the registration meeting.
Requests for Certificates of Sponsorship can typically be returned within 3 working days of receipt of the completed request form and all supporting documents required.
Interns can submit visa applications to the Home Office within 3 months of the internship start date. The Home Office target a turnaround of 15 working days for applications made overseas and 8 weeks for applications made within the UK.
