The Federal Foreign Office has updated the FAQs regarding internships in Germany. Basically, all internships are looked on as employments and need the agreement by the Central Office for International Exchange (ZAV) of the Federal Employment Agency. As of now not only internships funded by EU training programs (like ERASMUS) are exempted from this rule. Also, all internships less than 90 days can be done without applying for the agreement. Details, unfortunately only in German at the FAQs section of the Federal Foreign Office.

The federal state government Senat of Berlin has published information and helpful advice for newcomers. It is available in ten languages on the website of the Senate Commissioner for Integration and Migration and offers information for families, about housing, work and education, etc. 

Yours sincerely,

Tanja Butzek & Andrea Salerno-Schwarz
