How it works
Three steps between applying and starting in Bali.
The goal is simple: get you approved, matched, and on the ground without the usual confusion. Here is the path from first application to first week.
Apply
Tell us your field, timing, and university requirements. The application is free, quick, and gives us what we need to review your fit seriously.
Get approved and matched
We speak with you, line up the right placement options, and help with the university documentation so you know the internship works for your degree before you commit.
Arrive ready to start
Once matched, we guide the visa, housing, pickup, and arrival planning. You land with a room confirmed, a company ready, and support on WhatsApp throughout.
What we tell every student
Free to apply. No commitment until you want to move forward. We reply within 48 hours and tell you honestly what is realistic for your field and timing.
What comes with the placement
What’s included before you even get on the plane.
You are not left to figure this out on your own. We handle the placement structure, the university coordination, and the practical support around arrival so you can focus on the internship itself.
Visa and entry guidance
Practical support on visa options, documentation, and timing, based on your nationality and destination.
Housing support
Accommodation options arranged around your intake, with monthly rent paid directly in-destination.
Airport pickup
Arrival-day transfer so your first hours in country feel calm and coordinated.
Local support
A team you can reach during the placement for practical issues, questions, and transitions.
Orientation week
Neighbourhood, transport, culture, and a first shared rhythm before the internship starts.
The team behind it
Built by people who moved abroad to intern and saw how broken the process was.
Island Internship was started because the typical DIY search was failing students. Cold emails. No local support. No guarantee the placement counts.
Our team is present in Bali and Sri Lanka during placement season. Not managing the program from a European office.
Reachable via WhatsApp throughout your placement for practical questions, placement issues, and anything else that comes up in-country.

Student stories
See all stories →If you want to speak with a past student before applying, we connect you directly.
I had genuine responsibility from week one. Working with an international team in Bali gave me a kind of professional exposure I could not have found at home.
“I was nervous about whether an internship abroad would actually count toward my degree. It did - and I did not have to figure that out alone. Before I left, everything was already arranged with my university coordinator. Once I was there, I had actual work to do from the start, not just sitting in on calls.”
Program structure
Everything in place before you go. Not improvised after you land.
You land with everything already sorted. University documents, visa guidance, confirmed housing, a verified host company, and a team in place. Most students say the thing that surprised them most was how calm the first week felt.
University documentation prepared
Internship agreements, learning objectives, and supervisor evaluation sheets — aligned with European university requirements. We prepare what your coordinator needs. The approval process is straightforward.
Verified host companies
Every host company provides an official internship agreement, a named supervisor, and evaluations at the midpoint and end of placement. You see the company details, the team, and the role before you commit to anything.
Visa and entry guidance
Support on visa options, documentation, and timing — specific to your nationality and destination. We tell you what applies to your situation. Not a generic checklist.
A team in Bali and Sri Lanka
Our team is physically present during the placement season. Not managing the program from a European office. Reachable on WhatsApp for practical questions and anything unexpected.
Housing confirmed before you fly
A private room in a central, verified area — confirmed before you book flights. Arrival instructions and local context shared well in advance. Your first days are calm, not chaotic.
A full briefing before you fly
Covering arrival logistics, insurance, local safety, banking, SIM card setup, and what to expect in your first week. Sent at least two weeks before departure.
