FES Tanzania strives to offer internships to both international and national applicants in order to enhance intercultural learning and cooperation. In case applicants from abroad wish to apply for an internship at FES Tanzania, please consider the following additional costs which FES cannot sponsor:

- Travel costs to and from Tanzania

- International health insurance – this is a mandatory requirement and will be checked before your arrival in the country

- Housing and general living expenses in Dar es Salaam

- Costs for visa and residence permits (up to 300 US-Dollars)

Furthermore, FES Tanzania encourages international interns to be covered with an international third party liability and accident insurance as we cannot be held liable as an organization in case of personal loss or damage during the internship period.
