Internship USA - Spend 12-18 months working as an intern in America. Once you’ve arranged your internship, BUNAC, in partnership with our sponsors Alliance Abroad, can help you obtain the visa that allows you to train in America.

This option is for anyone who has found and already secured an internship placement. We will check the position that you’ve been offered matches your educational and/or work experience background. We will then assist you with the necessary documentation you need in order to apply for your J-1 visa, including development of a training plan and obtaining a DS-2019.

We can help with your self-placement internship visa paperwork if your placement is in one of the following fields:

  • Arts and Culture
  • Education, Social Sciences, Library Science, Counselling and Social Services
  • Hospitality and Tourism
  • Information Media and Communications
  • Management, Business, Commerce and Finance
  • Public Administration and Law
  • Sciences, Engineering, Architecture, Mathematics and Industrial Occupations

According to the regulations of the program any kind of training that involves either interaction with animals, patient care or contact (including veterinary medicine) is not allowed.
