If you want to do an internship in Curaçao, you must submit an application for a Declaration Van Rechtswege with the purpose of internship. This application must be submitted regardless of the duration of your internship.

What type of institution/course must accept or enrol the applicant?

The internship must be necessary for the applicant's studies; besides the general requirements, the intern must submit an internship agreement (which also serves as proof of sufficient financial resources) and a statement from the educational institution that the internship is necessary within the framework of a course of education.

Limits of the record

Source is the 2006 Revised Instruction (Netherlands Antilles era); the 2026 policy keeps only its declared-lapsed paragraphs 2.5, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 and 3.14 out, and the current Admission Office page does not restate this rule.
The current internship page lists the internship agreement only as an example of proof of financial resources and does not itself state this institutional statement.
