Question 1

When do I pay?

Accepted Answer

Only AFTER the internship agreement is signed by all 3 parties: you, your school, and the employer. Before that: €0. No placement = no fee.

Question 2

How long does the matching take?

Accepted Answer

Typically 2-4 weeks from your application to a confirmed match. Fast-track possible if you apply with flexibility.

Question 3

What's the internship duration?

Accepted Answer

Most internships are 3-6 months. Visa C22 allows stays up to 6 months initially, extendable. Longer stays (up to 12 months) are possible with the right paperwork.

Question 4

Do I need to speak Indonesian?

Accepted Answer

No. All companies in our network work in English or French. Daily life in tourist areas (Canggu, Seminyak) runs on English. Learning a few Indonesian phrases will make your life warmer though!

Question 5

Which visa do I need?

Accepted Answer

The C22 is the official Indonesian intern visa. We handle the entire process — sponsor letter, telex, KITAS conversion. You arrive with everything sorted.

Question 6

Is the internship paid?

Accepted Answer

Local internships in Bali typically don't pay. Some companies offer a small stipend (€100-300/mo) or benefits like housing help. Check individual job descriptions.

Question 7

What about my school's convention?

Accepted Answer

We provide internship agreements in the format expected by French/European schools. Many schools already recognise our documents — your school administrator will have no issue.

Question 8

Can I work remotely from Bali?

Accepted Answer

The C22 is for interns working for an Indonesian-registered company. For pure remote work, you'd want a different visa (like the E33G digital nomad visa). We can advise.

Question 9

How much will it cost me?

Accepted Answer

Total budget for 4 months ranges from €4,200 (backpacker) to €10,500 (comfort). Monthly costs: €1,000-2,600. Try our interactive simulator.

Question 10

What's included in the agency fee?

Accepted Answer

Matching, visa processing, airport pickup, housing preparation, on-site support throughout your stay, emergency contact, WhatsApp 7/7. See /pricing for details.

Question 11

Can I get refunded if I change my mind?

Accepted Answer

Our refund policy depends on the stage. Before convention signature: 100% refundable minus admin fees. After: partial refunds based on work done. See /legal/refund.

Question 12

Which bank card should I bring?

Accepted Answer

Wise and Revolut are king in Bali. ATM withdrawals incur a fee (~€3/withdrawal). Cash is widely used. Some places accept credit cards.

Question 13

Where will I live?

Accepted Answer

We have a vetted housing network across 6 neighborhoods. Before arrival, we share 3-4 options matching your budget and preferences. You pick. Explore our neighborhoods guide at /neighborhoods.

Question 14

Do I need a scooter?

Accepted Answer

Highly recommended. €70/mo rental, €25/mo gas. Without a scooter, you rely on Gojek (€5-15/ride) which adds up fast. Canggu's traffic means scooters are 3x faster than cars.

Question 15

How's the food scene?

Accepted Answer

Amazing. Local warungs serve full meals for €2-3. Western-style cafes €8-12. High-end restaurants €20-40. You can eat incredibly well on any budget.

Question 16

Is Bali safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bali is one of the safest places in Asia. Standard travel precautions apply. Our team is available 24/7 if anything happens. We had zero major incidents in 370+ placements.

Question 17

What if I need help on-site?

Accepted Answer

Your advisor is reachable on WhatsApp 7/7. Medical emergency, employer conflict, visa question, housing issue — we handle it. We've got a network of trusted doctors, lawyers, and contacts.

Question 18

What if my employer is not good?

Accepted Answer

It has happened. In those rare cases, we move you to another company in our network. Zero extra cost. Your experience matters more than a single placement.

Question 19

Can my parents contact you?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Many parents call before, during, and after. We have a dedicated /parents page. We respond in French or English.

Question 20

What happens at the end?

Accepted Answer

Internship evaluation signed for your school. Optional LinkedIn recommendation from the employer. Welcome to our alumni network — we help with future job references.
