To carry out your professional practices abroad, it is essential to have a CV that allows you to stand out, as well as skills to stand out in interviews. It will always be recommended that someone with experience support you in the process. Once you’re accepted, here’s what you need to leave:
International documents
Don’t wait for your time to run out! As a student it is relatively easy to obtain your internship visa, but it is a procedure that you cannot leave to the last minute since you need to gather multiple documents and your visa can take months to process. Some of the documents you may need are:
- Identification documents
- letter of studies
- company letter
- Solvency checks
Suitable Lugagge
Make a list of everything you need and plan what you will bring and what you will buy at your destination. Sometimes it is convenient to travel light and take advantage of the purchases at your destination.
Make sure you’re aware of the temperature at your destination so you don’t pack clothes you don’t need, and leave room in your suitcase to bring gifts for family and friends. Try to weigh your suitcase before arriving at the airport to avoid extra charges.
A budget
Going to zero is a bad idea, save money for emergencies, if possible. Your internship may be paid, but that doesn’t mean you should splurge. Plan your expenses to know the city that will be your home for a few months. Invest in gastronomy and experiences, you will not regret it.
*Tip: Invest in a cell phone SIM to stay in touch with your loved ones.
An itinerary
Yes, you are going abroad, but remember that you are going to prepare yourself professionally. Although there is time for everything, your priority is the practices. Organize your days to make them yield. Also remember that, depending on your destination and budget, you will be able to visit other cities or even other countries. With your internship start and end information, you can plan your trips for when your internship ends.
Remember that an organized trip will allow you to enjoy without unforeseen events or inconveniences. If you have already made the decision to do your internship abroad, don’t waste another minute and start planning every detail. Getting informed is key to success.
