Do foreign students on a Namibian study permit need a separate work permit for a paid academic internship/job attachment?

Wait 5 sec.

Hey everyone, looking for some clarity on Namibian immigration law. We're a company in Windhoek looking to take on interns, including students who are enrolled at UNAM or NUST on study permits. Some of these students are doing a mandatory job attachment as part of their degree requirements. My questions: Does a paid job attachment (required for academic credit) count as "employment" under Namibian immigration law, meaning a work permit would be required? Or does it fall under the existing study permit since it's an academic requirement? Does it make a difference whether the internship is paid or unpaid? Thanks!   submitted by   /u/axelmukwena [link]   [comments]
