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) additionally needs proof of funds (about USD 2,000 in a bank statement) and an Indonesian sponsor — which we provide as part of the service.
How long does a Bali visa take to process?
The eVOA takes 1–3 working days standard, or same-day with priority processing. The C1 Tourist Visa takes 5–7 working days. Multi-entry business visas take 10–14 working days, and KITAS residence permits 3–6 weeks depending on the category.
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.
