AstraZeneca

AstraZeneca's careers FAQ addresses work permits directly: "It is not always possible to secure work permits for Graduate and PhD opportunities. However we would still encourage applications for these roles so that we can look at all options available for work permits or sponsorship in line with local immigration legislation." The FAQ says nothing specific about internships. Government records show the company does sponsor work visas: the US H-1B employer data hub records 23 initial H-1B approvals for AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP in each of fiscal years 2021 and 2022, and the UK Home Office register of licensed sponsors lists AstraZeneca UK Limited as a licensed Skilled Worker sponsor.

Because the FAQ invites graduate and PhD candidates to apply and looks at permit options afterwards, an applicant who needs sponsorship can still apply, but should treat the permit for each country as open until the recruiter confirms it.
