It varies by visa type. For many nationalities the Visa on Arrival (VoA / e-VoA) gives an initial 30-day stay, which can be extended once for another 30 days — a total of 60 days. Longer options run up to 180 days.
The initial VoA duration is 30 days. It can be extended once for an additional 30 days, bringing your maximum stay on a VoA to 60 days.
Yes. The Single-Entry Visit Visa C1 starts at 60 days and can be extended, allowing a total stay of up to 180 days — the longest standard tourist option.
The Visa Exemption (BVK) lets nationals of specific countries — primarily ASEAN states — enter visa-free for a strict 30 days. This duration cannot be extended under any circumstances.
A passport valid at least 6 months beyond your intended stay with blank pages, a return or onward ticket, and proof of sufficient funds. Specific classes may ask for a sponsor or photo.
Typically your original passport, a copy of the bio-data page and your VoA stamp, a completed application form, and the extension fee. Extensions usually involve a visit to an immigration office for biometrics.
For the Single-Entry Visit Visa C1, a sponsor is often required — an Indonesian individual or a registered company. Our licensed partner can act as your guarantor and provide the invitation letter.
Yes. A return or onward ticket is required for virtually all tourist visa types, including Visa Exemption, VoA/e-VoA, and the Single-Entry Visit Visa C1.
You apply online via the official Indonesian immigration portal (molina.imigrasi.go.id): create an account, complete the form, upload your passport scan and photo, and pay the fee by card. Approval is often within minutes.
The initial e-VoA is online, but the 30-day extension generally requires a visit to an immigration office for biometric data (fingerprints and photo). We handle the paperwork and scheduling for you.
Simple e-VoA applications can be done yourself. For extensions, the C1 visa with multiple extensions, or anything time-sensitive, a licensed agent removes the guesswork and the queue.
You receive a notice stating the reason — usually incomplete documents, passport validity, or a prior immigration issue. We review your case first to minimise that risk before filing.
The e-VoA is IDR 500,000 (about USD 35). A 30-day extension is also an official IDR 500,000; if you use an agent, a service fee applies on top for handling the office visit.
Very fast — once you submit and pay on the official portal, approval is often within minutes to a few hours.
The Single-Entry Visit Visa C1 typically costs around USD 100–150 depending on where you apply; online processing usually takes a few working days.
Overstaying carries a fine of IDR 1,000,000 per day. Beyond 60 days of overstay you risk deportation and a re-entry ban, so it is essential to act before your expiry date.
There is no single 90-day tourist visa, but you can reach 90 days by combining options — for example a VoA (30 days) plus its extension (30 days), then a further visa, or by choosing the C1 path.
The D2 multiple-entry visit visa is valid for one year and allows many entries, with each stay up to 60 days — ideal for frequent visitors to Bali.
It depends on your current visa. A VoA can be extended once; from there you may switch to a C1 or exit-and-re-enter. We map the cleanest legal path for your dates.
For the C1, renewal is really a series of extensions — after the first 60 days you apply for extensions, each adding up to 60 days, up to the 180-day maximum.
The core options are unchanged: Visa Exemption (30 days, non-extendable), VoA/e-VoA (30 days, extendable once to 60), and the C1 (60 days, extendable to 180).
The eligible list is updated periodically by the Directorate General of Immigration. The core list stays broad, but always confirm your nationality before you travel — we check this for you.
It is a mandatory IDR 150,000 (about USD 10) fee for foreign tourists entering Bali. It is separate from your visa and does not change your visa duration or conditions.
Always refer to the Directorate General of Immigration (imigrasi.go.id) for the official position. We translate those rules into a plan for your specific trip.
