What is the procedure for extending my internship period?
Once the intern has completed part of the internship, s/he may request an extension from his/her supervisor. The supervisor will then submit the request to the Internship Coordinator, who will review the request and inform the intern and the supervisor of the outcome. The intern must have a visa covering the additional period. Alternatively, the intern may agree on a longer period of duration (maximum: 6 months) with the supervisor prior to the start of the internship.
