A student visa is required for your semester abroad at Udayana University or ISI Bali in Indonesia. Both universities have set up an application process for your visa and will contact you after your successful enrollment (study permit or registration) at the university.
Travel, entry, and visa regulations are subject to change and may change at any time. Therefore, you should only apply for a visa in consultation with the respective university.
The websites of the Indonesian Immigration Service and the respective missions abroad of Indonesian Embassies and Consulates are also valid sources of information for up-to-date information.
