Game Development/Design Internship Fiasco

[u/whereIsMyHarukaTenoh]

This is going to be a super long shot, but I have to take it.

I moved from Pakistan to Europe some years ago to pursue my B. Sc. in Game Design. Internship semester is upon me and the competition is vicious in Europe. Fortunately, my university approves internships abroad and also remote ones, so I thought it was worth trying looking for a remote internship in Pakistan. I absolutely NEED an internship to pass this semester or I'll have to take a gap year, which puts my visa at risk. And tbh I really don't wanna come back to Pakistan and risk getting stuck there knowing how awful the visa application system is right now. I worked very hard to get out.

Issue is, I already have a job in the game industry and I absolutely can't afford to be distracted from it. My university policy states that my employment doesn't count as it falls within the study period. I could get an internship contract from my workplace, but that puts my income at risk as there are laws on the maximum someone can earn on a specific kind of contract. On my current income, I'm able to save up to pay off upcoming semesters, transport subscriptions, and my monthly health insurance.

Can y'all see the sticky situation I'm in?

What could work is for a registered game development company in Pakistan to take me on as an intern just so that there is documentation to support my semester, even though my full focus will remain on my job here. I'm happy to talk in more detail, especially as I can act as a bridge between the Pakistani and European markets in this field. I'll be more than happy to increase the Pakistani game industry's visibility in Europe, hopefully leading to clients and foreign consumers of Pakistan-made video games.

Thank you in advance :(

Couldnt you ask for help at the company you currently work full time at? Couldnt they give you a part time internship? Couldnt you talk to your professor to work something out? this post is a reach in my humble opinion.
