We understand that moving to Bali, Indonesia can be a challenge in terms of navigating travel and visas.  We have created this Guide and FAQ for current and new Green School parents to help answer most questions. Please take some time to review the information below and read our Visa & Travel FAQ section. Things can change from time-time and keep this site updated as best we can, but please re-confirm details. 

You can also always reach out to our Admissions Team at admissions@greenschool.org. 

Please note, Green School Bali is not a travel and visa agency, but we do help support enrolled families. Please see below some useful suggested timings on where to start on your journey. 

Step 1

• The School organises the issuance of your enrolled child's student visa. We work with Ganesha Visa Services for our student visas. You should also contact Ganesha at visa@ganeshabaliconsulting.com or a visa agency of your choice to initiate the visa process for parents/guardians or other non-enrolled siblings or family members.
