Visas for Bali 2026

Bali Entry Requirements 2026

You can simply buy your Visa on Arrival at the airport when you land in Bali without any issues or alternatively this can be applied for online before arrival (e-VOA), as long as you meet the basic entry requirements (passport valid 6+ months, return/onward ticket, and completed arrival forms). Eligibility depends on your passport nationality, not where you are flying from.

It is valid for 30 days and can be extended once for another 30 days, making it perfect for stays of 30–60 days.

The Visa on Arrival costs approx. 500,000 IDR (€25–30) and is valid for 30 days, with the option to extend once for another 30 days, giving a total stay of up to 60 days.

What you need before arrival (summary)

• Eligible passport valid for 6+ months

• Visa on Arrival (VOA / e-VOA)

• Return or onward ticket (can be flexible if you are unsure of return date)
  

  Rules and visa policies can change, so always double-check the latest updates before traveling.

  Onward ticket alternative
  If you’re unsure about your future travel plans and want to keep your schedule flexible, you can use onwardticket.com to purchase a verifiable flight reservation that can be shown at immigration as proof of onward travel out of Indonesia.

  This isn’t intended as a real flight you will use, but simply a temporary reservation that helps you meet the entry requirements while giving you the freedom to decide and book your actual onward ticket once you’re in Bali.

  The service typically costs around 15 euros.
  
  Longer stay visas

  If you plan to stay longer than 60 days, you will need to apply for a different visa in advance through a visa agency.
  

  Common options include:

  • Single Entry Visit Visa – tourism/business visa, extendable for longer stays (up to ~6 months total)

• KITAS (Investor/Work Visa) – long-term residency permit for working or investing in Indonesia

  These usually require sponsorship and must be arranged before or during your stay.
  

  How the extension process works

  Normally, you simply message the visa agency when you want to extend your visa, and they guide you through the process step by step. Most agencies handle almost everything for you, which makes the process very easy and stress-free.

  With the newer rules, you will usually need to go in person to immigration to have your photo and fingerprints taken. This is located in Kuta, and the appointment itself normally only takes around 10 minutes in the morning if everything is prepared correctly by your agent.

  I personally use these guys myself, and you simply message them on WhatsApp when you want to extend your visa:
  

  Bali Solve (Jimbaran) +62 813 3774 9994

  They help with applications, extensions, and all paperwork, so you don’t really have to worry about the process.
  

  Visa runs

  If you have already stayed 30 days and extended for another 30 days, it is very common for people to do a “visa run” once that expires. Most people simply book a cheap flight to Kuala Lumpur and fly back to Bali the same day without any issues.

  You can also choose to stay a few days in Kuala Lumpur and explore the city. It’s a beautiful and modern city with amazing food, cafés, shopping malls, rooftop bars, and great nightlife - and compared to many other big cities, it’s still very affordable.
  

  Overstaying your visa

  If you accidentally overstay your visa, don’t panic - it honestly happens more often than people think. The fine is currently around 1 million IDR per day, which can become expensive quickly. They often prefer the payment in cash at the airport.

  In most normal cases, if it is only a short overstay, nothing dramatic happens - immigration will simply ask you to pay the fine before leaving the country.

  However, if you overstay for a very long period (especially more than 60 days), the consequences become much more serious. This can lead to deportation and potentially being banned from returning to Indonesia in the future, so always try to keep track of your visa dates carefully.
