Visa finder FAQ
The questions everyone asks.
What visa do I need to visit Bali?
Most travellers need the E-Visa on Arrival (eVOA), an electronic visa issued online before you fly, valid 30 days and extendable once to 60. Visa-free entry was abolished for most nationalities, so even a 5-day trip needs a valid eVOA. For stays over 60 days, apply for the C1 Tourist Visa (B211A) instead.
What is the best visa for staying in Bali for 60 days?
Two options: the eVOA (30 days + one 30-day extension = 60 days total) or the C1 Tourist Visa which grants 60 days on entry. The eVOA is cheaper and faster to obtain; the C1 makes sense if you might stay longer, because it extends twice up to 180 days.
Can I do business meetings in Bali on a tourist visa?
Yes. The eVOA explicitly covers business meetings, conferences, negotiations and site visits for trips up to 30 days. What it does not allow is local employment or receiving a salary from an Indonesian company, for that you need a working KITAS (E23).
Which visa do digital nomads use in Bali?
For a first season, most remote workers use the eVOA (up to 60 days) or the C1 Tourist Visa (up to 180 days), working remotely for a foreign employer is permitted on both. For a longer base, Indonesia offers the E33G Remote Worker KITAS: a 1-year residence permit with multi-entry travel.
What documents do I need for a Bali visa?
For the eVOA: a passport valid 6+ months with two blank pages, a return or onward ticket, an accommodation address and a recent plain-background photo. The C1 (B211A) swaps the ticket for an Indonesian sponsor, which we provide as part of the service.
How long does a Bali visa take to process?
The eVOA takes up to 48 hours standard, or in about 8 hours with urgent processing. The C1 Tourist Visa takes 8–14 working days. The C2 business visa takes 8–14 working days, and the E33G Digital Nomad KITAS 8–14 working days (other KITAS categories take 3–6 weeks).
Does my nationality change which Bali visa I need?
Eligibility for the eVOA covers 90+ nationalities including the EU, UK, US, Australia, Canada and most of Asia. If your passport isn't eVOA-eligible you'll need a visit visa (C1) arranged before travel. Send us your nationality on WhatsApp and we confirm your options within the hour.
What happens if I pick the wrong visa?
The most common mistake is entering on an eVOA and then wanting to stay past 60 days, which forces a visa run, because the eVOA cannot convert to a C1 in-country. If there's any chance you'll stay longer than two months, start with the C1 Tourist Visa instead.
