Costs and arrangements for travel, visas, accommodation and living expenses are the responsibility of the intern or his/her sponsoring institution. However, UNHCR will help with the visa application if applicable and advise accordingly.

Interns are not subject to UN security evacuation procedures but may be assisted to leave the country when possible and to the extent feasible.
