Indonesia (Bali) Visa for Indians
Bali runs on Indonesia's Visa on Arrival for Indians — simple, but with a fee, a strict 30-day count and an extension process worth knowing before you fly.

How Indians enter Bali
Indonesia offers Indian passport holders a **Visa on Arrival (VOA)** — purchasable at Denpasar airport or, better, online in advance as an **e-VOA** through the official immigration portal. Either way it grants **30 days, extendable once** for another 30.
The e-VOA is the smart route: you skip the payment queue after a long flight, and the online system catches passport-detail errors before you travel.
The essentials
- Passport valid 6+ months with a blank page
- VOA fee: **IDR 500,000** (roughly ₹2,600–2,900 depending on the rate) — card payments accepted at Denpasar, but the machines have moods; the e-VOA avoids this entirely
- Return or onward ticket within 30 days
- Accommodation details for arrival forms
- Indonesia's electronic customs declaration, filed online before landing
The 30-day count — where people get caught
Day 1 is your arrival day, not the day after. Overstays are charged per day at IDR 1,000,000 — an expensive rounding error. If your trip is 29–31 days, book the extension plan from day one.
Extending in Bali
The one-time 30-day extension is done through an immigration office (Jimbaran serves most of tourist Bali) and involves biometrics — plan for two office visits or use a reputable local agent. Start the process at least a week before expiry.
Beyond the beaches
We build Bali properly: Ubud's rice terraces and temples, Nusa Penida boat days, Uluwatu sunsets — with drivers we've actually vetted and hotels matched to honeymoon, family or friends-trip budgets. The VOA is the easy part; the itinerary is where a trip is won.
FAQ
Is Bali visa-free for Indians?
No — visa-free applies to ASEAN nationals. Indians use the VOA/e-VOA described above.
Can I pay the VOA in rupees?
No. IDR is the official basis; cards work, and the e-VOA takes online payment in advance — our recommended route.
Does the VOA allow work or long stays?
Strictly tourism and short business meetings. Remote-work stays beyond 60 days need Indonesia's other visa categories — ask us before planning a long stint.
