I'll be starting a full-time MSc. Finance in Italy this September (US citizen). Currently in the process of filling out my Visa application form, and am considering what dates to put down for my date of arrival/ departure, as well as the maximum length of stay (up to 365 days). Does anyone know if the study Visa would make me eligible for internships in London? Would I need anything else?
If my study Visa will cover me for summer internships in London, then is it best to just put my program start date as the date of arrival, and then the date of departure one full year later instead of putting the actual last day of the 2nd semester? The program is two years, but the study Visa covers me up to a max of 365 days.
I think you would need a separate Visa. One of my colleagues is from a non-EU country and has to get a separate Visa to go to other countries even though they are cleared to work here.
You'll need separate visas since UK is not part of the Schengen Area and therefore has no common Visa policy. You'll have to check with the UK Border Agency but since you're a US citizen I don't expect any issues except the ordeal of administration. Better start this early, it can still take some weeks.
Thanks, I guess once I get an actual internship offer for summer 2015, I'll immediately start the process - or do you mean to start checking now?
