Frequently Asked Questions
What visa do I need to enter Bali in 2026?
Most Western, Asian, and Middle Eastern travelers (US, UK, EU, Australia, China, Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, etc.) qualify for Visa on Arrival (VoA) at $35 USD for 30 days, extendable once for another 30 days. ASEAN-9 citizens get free visa-free entry. Citizens of countries not on the VoA list must apply for a B1 Single Entry Tourist Visa via the e-visa portal before flying. The decision tree on this page returns the right path based on your specific situation.
How much does a Bali visa cost in 2026?
Visa on Arrival (VoA): $35 USD or Rp 500,000. VoA extension: another $35-50. B1 Single Entry Tourist Visa (60 days): around $50 USD via e-visa portal. B211A Multi-Purpose Visa (60-180 days): $150-300 USD via visa agent. E33G Digital Nomad Visa (12 months): around $220 USD. Visa-free entry for ASEAN-9 citizens is $0.
Can I extend my Bali visa from inside Bali?
Yes. Both VoA and B1 visas can be extended once at any Bali immigration office (Denpasar or Singaraja). VoA extends to 60 days total ($35-50 for extension). B1 extends to 120 days. Apply 7-14 days before expiry to allow processing time. Most travelers use a visa agent ($50-100 fee) to handle the office paperwork rather than going themselves.
Can I work remotely in Bali on a tourist visa?
Technically no. VoA and B1 are tourism-only visas. Working for a foreign employer while in Bali on a tourist visa is a grey area that's been tolerated for years but is not legally compliant. The proper path for remote workers since 2024 is the E33G Digital Nomad Visa — 12 months, requires $2,000+ monthly income and $20,000+ savings. The decision tree above flags this when you select 'remote work' as your purpose.
What happens if I overstay my visa?
Overstay fines are Rp 1,000,000 (~$65 USD) per day, payable on departure. Overstays of 60+ days result in detention, deportation, and a 6-month-to-2-year ban from Indonesia. Always extend or leave on time. If you accidentally overstay by 1-3 days, head straight to immigration, pay the fine, and you'll usually be allowed to fly out without further issue.
Do I need an onward ticket to enter Bali?
Yes. Indonesian immigration requires proof of onward travel within your visa validity period. Most VoA and visa-free travelers are asked for it at the immigration desk. Either book a real return ticket, or use a flight verification service ($10-20) that holds a real ticket for 24-48 hours so it's valid at immigration. We do not recommend showing a fake screenshot — Indonesian immigration officers cross-check against airline databases.
