For employers
Hosting an intern from abroad, without the paperwork
Looking to bring an intern or recent graduate to the UK from abroad? Since Brexit, the Government Authorised Exchange (GAE) visa has been the mandatory route for any company wishing to host an intern who does not already have the right to work in the UK.
As the official French representative of a UK-licensed GAE sponsor, we handle the entire sponsorship process on your behalf — from checking your eligibility as a host company to issuing the Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) your candidate needs in order to apply for their visa.
Working with us means a single point of contact throughout the process, available in English or French, and a dedicated team keeping you and your candidate informed at every stage — so you can focus on welcoming your new intern, not on paperwork.
Want to know more about sponsoring an intern through the GAE visa? Get in touch and our team will walk you through the next steps.
