Bali Visa for US citizens (2026).

eVOA (E-Visa on Arrival) — the default for vacations and trips up to 30 days, extendable once in-country to 60. Government fee IDR 500,000 (about $35), issued in 1–3 working days. C1 Tourist Visa (formerly B211A) — the long-stay option: 60 days on arrival, two extensions, 180 days maximum. Requires an Indonesian sponsor, which our service provides. C2 / D2 Business Visas — for Americans with recurring business in Indonesia: single-entry C2 for one engagement, multi-entry D2 valid 1, 2 or 5 years. KITAS — residence permits for remote workers (E33G), investors (E28A), retirees (E33F) and families. All lodged from our Bali office.

The eVOA government fee is IDR 500,000 — about $35. Every traveller also pays the IDR 150,000 (~$10) Bali Tourist Levy through the separate Love Bali portal. With our agency fee included, a complete eVOA application for a US passport typically lands between $50 and $90 depending on standard (1–3 working days) or urgent processing. The C1 Tourist Visa runs around $165 in government and sponsor fees. US cards work fine on our checkout — we charge in USD through Stripe and pay Indonesian Immigration from our local account.

1. Check your passport — 6+ months' validity beyond arrival and 2 blank pages; renew via the State Department first if you're close. 2. Apply for the eVOA — on the official portal at evisa.imigrasi.go.id, or through our agency for a checked, hands-off application. 3. Pay the Tourist Levy at lovebali.baliprov.go.id before departure. 4. Submit the All Indonesia Declaration Form within 3 days before arrival — its QR code is scanned alongside your eVOA at the e-gates. We send all four steps as one WhatsApp checklist, timed to your flight.

Bali is one of the world's biggest remote-work hubs for Americans, and the rules are clearer than most blogs suggest. Working remotely for a US employer or US clients is permitted on the eVOA and the C1 Tourist Visa — what's prohibited is local employment or being paid by an Indonesian company, which requires a Working KITAS (E23). For stays beyond 180 days, the E33G Remote Worker KITAS grants a full year of residence with multi-entry travel, built exactly for this case. US tax residency doesn't change — you remain a US taxpayer — but the E33G keeps your Indonesian immigration status clean for a long stay.

Americans staying a season use the C1 Tourist Visa (180 days maximum). Retirees aged 60+ qualify for the Retirement KITAS (E33F) — 1-year terms, renewable, with multi-entry travel. Investors who set up or buy into an Indonesian PT PMA company use the Investor KITAS (E28A), valid 1–2 years. And Indonesia's Golden Visa program offers 5 and 10-year residence for larger commitments. Each category has a different document set — we assess which fits in a free consultation before you commit to anything.
