Traveling to Bali from India? The visa requirements will depend on the length of your stay. Here’s a quick rundown of what you need to know:
Visa-Free Entry (Under 30 Days)
For stays less than 30 days, Indian citizens can enjoy visa-free entry to Indonesia. Upon arrival at the airport, you’ll receive a visa exemption stamp.
Visa on Arrival (30-60 Days)
Planning a longer stay? If your trip extends between 30 and 60 days, you can obtain a visa on arrival (VOA) at the Indonesian immigration counter. This visa costs around ₹2400 and can be extended for an additional 30 days while you’re in Bali.
211A Tourist Visa (Over 60 Days)
For stays exceeding 60 days, you’ll need to apply for a 211A Tourist Visa beforehand. This visa is valid for 60 days and allows for multiple extensions (up to 180 days total) in Indonesia. You can find the application process and required documents on the website of the Indonesian Embassy or Consulate in India.
