IMC Trading’s internship program duration is less than 90 days which unfortunately does not qualify for a Highly Skilled Migrant visa. Please note that because of this and current regulations with the Immigratie en Naturalisatiedienst (IND), IMC Trading is unable to obtain immigration sponsorship for candidates who currently reside or attend university in Russia, Belarus, Iran or Ukraine. We greatly appreciate your understanding and hope to consider you for future opportunities.

If you are a citizen of one of the aforementioned countries and are currently residing or attending university outside of that country, but have existing work authorization in the EU or are eligible to work without sponsorship, we encourage you to apply and inform our campus recruitment team of your situation: CampusEU@imc.com.
