A tourist visa is for visiting — short, capped at 180 days, with no right to work. A KITAS is for staying — a renewable permit measured in years, often with the right to work or invest. The right choice comes down to how long you want to stay and what you intend to do while you are here.
Indicative comparison; exact rights and fees depend on the specific visa or KITAS type and your nationality.
If your stay is six months or less and you only intend to travel, relax or explore — no work involved.
If you plan to stay a year or more, work remotely, invest, or make Bali a genuine base.
Start on a tourist visa and upgrade to a KITAS once your plans firm up — we manage the transition.
