Anyone wishing to do an internship in the United States must have the necessary documents. The ESTA electronic travel authorisation application is not legally suitable for internships.. You need a J visa to take part in a work placement in your country of freedom.
ESTA and Internship
Many students wishing to undertake an unpaid placement of less than 90 days do not hesitate to apply for a online travel authorisation as part of the visa-free stay procedure. To carry out internships without necessarily obtaining a visa, it is not enough to say that you are going to the United States for training. The student will not have a work placement contract to justify this.
If the duration of the apprenticeship exceeds the 90 days required by law to travel to countries of freedom as part of the visa waiver programmeThe visa-free travel authorisation programme is not suitable. If the legal deadline is exceeded, the student will be recorded as having breached the visa law. If students stay in the USA for more than 180 days, they risk a 10-year ban!
