The Electronic Visa on Arrival (e-VOA) is the most popular visa for short stays in Indonesia. Travelers can obtain it upon arrival at major airports, provided their passport is valid for at least 180 days. However, many choose to apply online in advance to avoid long queues.

It allows a stay of up to 30 days and can be extended once for an additional 30 days if you decide to stay longer.

  • Stay in Indonesia for up to 60 days

  • Valid for 30 days upon arrival

  • Can be extended once (+30 days)

  • Apply at least 48 hours before departure (earlier recommended)

  • Single-entry: leaving the country will invalidate the visa

If you plan to stay in Indonesia for a longer period, the C1 Tourist Visa is the perfect option. It is initially valid for 60 days and can be extended twice, each time for another 60 days — allowing a total stay of up to 180 days (around six months).

This gives you plenty of time to explore Indonesia at a relaxed pace. Note that this visa is strictly for tourism; if you intend to work remotely while in Indonesia, consider applying for a Remote Worker KITAS (E33G) instead.

  • Stay in Indonesia for up to 180 days

  • Valid for 60 days upon arrival

  • Can be extended twice (60 days per extension)

  • Apply at least 14 business days before departure
  • Single-entry: leaving the country will invalidate the visa

The Remote Worker KITAS (also known as the Digital Nomad Visa) is designed for remote workers who want to enjoy Indonesia’s tropical lifestyle while continuing their career abroad. Picture this: a morning yoga session, a few productive hours working from your villa, afternoon surf, and sunset drinks with friends. With this visa, that dream can become your everyday reality.

  • Stay in Indonesia for up to 360 days

  • Not extendable — a new visa is required after one year

  • Requires minimum USD 60,000 annual income and an overseas employment contract
  • Apply at least 14 business days before departure

  • Multiple-entry — travel in and out of Indonesia freely during the visa period

Do I need a visa for Indonesia?

Yes — in most cases, foreigners need a visa to enter Indonesia. Travelers from many countries (including most of Europe, the U.S., Australia, and more) can apply for an e-Visa on Arrival (e-VOA), which allows a stay of up to 30 days with the option to extend once for an extra 30 days.

If you plan to stay longer, work remotely, or stay in Bali for several months, you’ll need a different visa — such as a C1 – Single Entry Tourist Visa or the E33G – Remote Worker KITAS.

Citizens of ASEAN countries (Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste, and Vietnam), as well as select other countries such as Colombia, Hong Kong, Suriname, Brazil, and Turkey, are eligible for visa-exempt entry to Indonesia. This allows a stay of up to 30 days for tourism, social visits, or business meetings and can not be extended.

Which visa is right for me?

The right visa depends on how long you plan to stay and the purpose of your visit.

For short stays of up to 60 days, an e-Visa on Arrival (e-VOA) is usually sufficient. It covers tourism (B1), short business trips or meetings (B2), and medical visits (B3).

If you plan to stay longer than 60 days, a single-entry tourist visa (C1) is often the best option, allowing an initial stay of 60 days with the option to extend 2 times for a total stays of up to 180 days.

If you intend to enter Indonesia multiple times within a year, a multiple-entry visa for tourism (D1) or business (D2) may be more suitable. These visas are valid for 12 months and allows stays of up to 180 days per entry with extensions (initial stay permitted is 60 days).

None of these visas allow local employment. If you want to live in Bali while working remotely for a non-Indonesian company, the remote worker visa (E33G) may be the right option.

If you’re unsure which visa fits your situation, our team is happy to help you choose the most suitable option.

How can I apply for an Indonesia visa online?

1. Apply via the official government website

You can register and submit your application directly through Indonesia’s official immigration portal at evisa.imigrasi.go.id. This option is suitable if you are familiar with the process and requirements, as applications are handled independently and without personal support.

2. Apply through Bali Entry

Alternatively, you can let our visa specialists manage the entire application process for you. We assist with document checks, visa selection, submission, and follow-up, making the process simpler and more efficient from start to finish.

Can I obtain a visa for Indonesia at the airport?

Yes. Many nationalities can obtain a Visa on Arrival (VOA) when arriving in Indonesia. The VOA allows a stay of up to 30 days and can be extended once for another 30 days. Payment can be made at the airport before passing immigration.

However, not all visa types are available on arrival, and eligibility depends on your nationality and purpose of visit. For longer stays or specific purposes, the visa must be arranged in advance online.

If you want to avoid queues or uncertainty, applying for your visa before arrival is recommended.

Do I need to pay a tourist tax when I enter Bali?

Yes. If you’re an international visitor arriving in Bali, you are required to pay a tourist tax (tourism levy) before or when you enter the island. This new rule has been in effect since 14 February 2024 and applies to most foreign travellers. 

  • How much? The fee is IDR 150,000 per person (around USD $10–15 depending on exchange rates). 

  • When to pay: Ideally before you travel via the official Love Bali system (online). You can also pay upon arrival at Bali’s airport or seaport at designated payment counters. 

  • Proof of payment: After paying online, you’ll receive a confirmation/QR code to show at checkpoints. 

Who is exempt? Some categories—such as diplomatic visa holders, KITAS/KITAP holders, student and certain long-stay visa holders—may be exempt or eligible for a refund/exemption if approved in advance. 

This tax is separate from your visa and flight costs and is different from the airport passenger service charge (which is included in airline tickets).

What happens if I overstay my visa in Bali?

If you stay in Bali beyond your visa’s expiry date, you will be fined IDR 1,000,000 per day for each day of overstay (up to 60 days), payable before departure. Overstaying more than 60 days can result in deportation, detention, and a ban from re-entering Indonesia. Paying the fine does not extend your visa, so extensions must be arranged before your current stay expires.

How will I receive my visa?

All Indonesian visas are issued electronically through the official immigration system. Once your visa is approved, our team will send it to you digitally via email. There is no physical sticker or stamp required in advance. Upon arrival in Indonesia, you can scan your passport at the automated e-gates or present your digital visa to immigration if requested.
