ORIGINAL POSTER

Good morning,

I am a student at a German university and the internship is coming up next semester. I have after an acceptance for an internship in Thailand from August 22 and now received the feedback, the embassy in Thailand currently only allows students at a university in Thailand for an internship visa. Can anyone tell me more about this? I think it should be possible with a business-visa. I just can't imagine, especially if they relax the regulations now.

TLDR : Answer Summary

A student from a German university has received feedback from the Thai embassy indicating that currently, only students enrolled at universities in Thailand are eligible for an internship visa. The student is seeking clarification on whether it is possible to obtain a business visa instead, particularly in light of potential regulatory relaxations.
