It might seem daunting, but we are here to make it as easy as possible.

Once your enrolment is confirmed, our team is here to guide you through the visa process. All families joining Green School Bali from overseas must have valid visas to enter Indonesia, and it's important to get started as early as possible.

While visas are often processed quickly, unexpected delays can occur, so giving yourself plenty of time helps ensure a smooth and stress-free arrival. We're here to help you navigate the process with clarity and care.

Where to Start

Last updated May, 2025

All enrolled Green School Bali students are issued a student visa - which is a one-year continuous visa. Please make sure you are connected to the School's student visa provider, Ganesha Visa Services.

We can help you start the process as soon as you have had your enrolment application approved, have paid registration and have made your tuition fees payment when due.

For parents and other non-enrolled family members, we recommend you begin your visa application process one month in advance of your travel dates. Most of our families use Genesha's services for their visas. Don’t forget to check the Orientation Day and First Day of School Dates.

If you are applying via an agent other than Ganesha, we recommend that you do not commit to any visa payments until your enrollment is registered. If using an alternative visa agent, Green School will require a copy of the issued visa and associated copies of documents eg: passport to register your child as attending Green School (as a legal requirement). You will be asked to provide this before the first day of school.

The Ganesha Team can provide you with more individualised instructions on how to move through the visa process, but the steps below outline the general process:

Ganesha or your alternative visa agent will provide you a visa application package. You will need to complete this and submit the package online via instructions from Ganesha/agent.

• You may also be required to also provide evidence of a flight booked - Genesha will inform you of this requirement also.

• You will be advised via email when your visa has been approved by Ganesha/the agent.

• Make your final plans for departure and ensure that you arrive in Indonesia within 90 days of the visa being issued.
  
  

When in Bali, Ganesha or your alternative visa agent will provide further instructions, including the extension process and advice on renewal options well ahead of the expiration of your Social Visa. You can reach out to the Ganesha Team by email, noting that your child's enrolment needs to be completed and tuition paid for the student visa process to be started - visa@ganeshabaliconsulting.com
