Quick answer: most visitors to Bali need an Indonesia e-VOA (electronic visa on arrival). It costs Rp500,000, lets you stay 30 days and can be extended once for another 30 days. Citizens of ASEAN countries can visit without a visa. Before you fly, everyone also submits an arrival card, and Bali charges a tourist levy of IDR 150,000.
This guide covers which Bali visa you need, how the e-VOA works and what to do before you travel. We checked it against Indonesia's official e-Visa website on 19 September 2026.
