What are the most important financial or study-related conditions: tuition, funds, insurance, full-time study, attendance or equivalent?

The C-9 fee matrix lists USD 200 in its FEE IN USD column and 100 in each of the separate EAC CITIZENS FEE and DIASPORA FEE columns; it does not repeat a currency for those two amounts. C-9 is described as non-remunerated internship activity, but this guideline gives no separate maintenance-funds threshold or sponsorship amount. Its Version 2026.7 page does not state a legal effective date.

Can the student work? Under what major restrictions? What is the family position where clearly stated?

The C-9 matrix describes the internship activity as non-remunerated. The official guideline does not say whether a C-9 holder may take separate paid employment or other work, or whether dependants have work rights. A general Work Permit exception is listed for studies and research, but the guideline does not expressly say that it also covers every C-9 internship.

Limits of the record
  • Separate employment and dependant work rights are not stated, and the page does not resolve whether its studies exception covers C-9 internships.

How long does the status last, how is it renewed, and what officially documented post-study work or residence possibilities exist?

The general Class C checklist lists the previous original permit for renewal or replacement. The official source does not state the length of the C-9 permit, the renewal interval or any post-internship work or residence possibility.

Limits of the record
  • C-9 duration, renewal timing and post-internship route are not specified in the captured guideline.
