The fully funded internship for international students is only for applicants from outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland. (Yes, it’s really fully funded!)

The fully funded internship for international students is only for applicants from outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland.

It’s not just for students, but for anyone who wants to gain work experience in Germany. You have to be between 18 and 35 years old and if you’re younger than 18 or older than 35, your application will not even be reviewed. You can also apply if you already have a degree, but you must want to learn more about a specific field of work that interests you. For example, one of our participants wanted to move into HR after studying literature at university. It lasts for six months and it is open to all fields of study and occupations.

You won’t need to pay taxes on your internship salary in Germany (at least probably not, double check with a tax consultant if you want to be sure.)

The good news is that if you’re an intern in Germany, you won’t need to worry about paying taxes on your internship salary. Here’s why: The German government has been trying hard to bring more international interns into the country. As a result, they’ve decreased the amount of money you can make in a year before having to pay taxes from 8,652€ to €450 per month. This means you probably won’t have to pay taxes on your internship salary (as long as it doesn’t exceed 450€ per month), but double check with a tax consultant if you want to be sure.

If you don’t have enough taxable income in Germany, there will be no tax withheld from your paycheck, and since up until this point there wasn’t any withholding tax taken out of your monthly payments throughout the year, it ends up working out!

In addition to the salary listed above, you will also receive €300 every quarter of your internship to cover your health insurance costs;

You will be reimbursed for the cost of travel up to €180 per month;

You will get half of any costs associated with your visa application refunded by the Federal Agency for Work, up to a maximum amount of €75.

You will also be reimbursed for the cost of travel up to €180 per month;

Benefits:

You will receive a monthly stipend of €1,000 (gross) for the entire duration of your internship. This amount may be taxed depending on your country’s tax laws. If you have not received the stipend by the sixth day of each month, please contact us at tax@humboldt-foundation.de.
In addition to this stipend, you will also be reimbursed for the cost of travel up to €180 per month, if necessary. This sum is intended for travel within Germany only and does not apply to any journey from your home country to Germany or vice versa. To claim reimbursement for your travels, you must submit proof of payment (i.e., receipts), as well as a completed form provided by the Humboldt Foundation and return it by post to:
Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung e. V., Jean-Paul-Str. 12, 53173 Bonn/Germany

You will get half of any costs associated with your visa application refunded by the Federal Agency for Work, up to a maximum amount of €75;

The German Federal Agency for Work’s refund is only available to people who need a visa to work in Germany. Once you get your internship and the agency is sure you have an offer, they will send you all the details on their reimbursement program, including how to apply.

It’s worth noting that it is not going to cover your entire visa application fee, only half of it (up to a maximum amount of €75). And that money won’t come until after your internship has ended. It’s also worth remembering that this applies specifically for German language internships and cannot be used if you’re applying for an English-only internship or apprenticeship.
