Tourist Tax & Entry Requirements

Yes, you need a Visa for traveling to Bali, unless you are a national of one of the 9 ASEAN countries or Timor Leste.

For tourists and standard visits (not working) there are two Visas available. Which Visa depends on your nationality, travel purpose and length of stay. Please click on the button below to check what applies to you.

This is how you can apply for the Indonesia Tourist Visa / Visa on Arrival:

1. Electronic Visa on Arrival (e-VoA – B1, B2, B3, B4)

You can apply and purchase the Visa already online and avoid queuing at VoA counters at the airport which will save you time and is much more convenient.

You can apply for e-VOA 14 days before your travel. However, you are advised to create an e-VOA request at least 48 hours before your departure, otherwise you might not receive it in time. The Visa is not issued instantly!
