This is shreyas From india. I have got an opportunity to do a internship in TU-Chemnitz .It is an unpaid research internship from may 15th-july 31st 2011. I am confused about the type of visa i need to apply. Say if i apply for internship visa, the requirements page in the embassy website asks me to get a consent letter from the labour office in germany. Is that applicable for me also even though am not getting paid? My professor is not willing it sign in that document as it obliges him to pay. Can some please educate me about the exact documents i need to carry for the visa interview as soon as possible? the Embassy website gives information only about the paid internships. Please help

Yes, you need a work permit, regardless whether the internship is paid or not. You need to contact the nearest German Embassy or Consulate.

The best way to apply is on a student visa from india ,there are many categories like student exchange or student pursuing research ,as you are on a short stay in germany you can get the information from the germany embassy directly..

posted by Raghuram Kalyanam in Germany forum
if its a paid internship ,first of all u need to get the ZAV form made from ur professor.ZAV is the work permit ,to work in germany.u can get the visa for the unpaid internship also,but u to have show that u have enough money to support the stay(bank statment).or else u go by tourist visa or bussiness visa, which doesnt need any work permit,were bank statement may be sufficient.
