Thinking of travelling to the beautiful island of Bali? Canadians, you’re in luck! For short trips, you won’t need a visa beforehand. Here’s what you need to know about visa requirements for Canadian citizens traveling to Bali:
Visa on Arrival for Short Stays (Up to 30 Days)
Canadians can get a visa upon arrival in Bali, also known as a Visa on Arrival (VoA). This is perfect for short stays of up to 30 days. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Valid Passport: Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your arrival date in Indonesia.
- Proof of Onward Travel: This can be a return ticket or a ticket to another destination after Bali.
- Visa Fee: You’ll need to pay a visa fee upon arrival. The amount can vary, but is typically around USD $35.
Extending Your Stay (Up to 60 Days)
Think 30 days isn’t enough time in paradise? You can extend your Visa on Arrival for an additional 30 days. This extension needs to be processed before your initial 30 days expire. Keep in mind, after 60 days total, you’ll need to leave Indonesia.
Visas for Longer Stays or Business Trips (Over 30 Days)
If you’re planning a longer stay or a business trip to Bali, you’ll need to apply for a visa beforehand at the Indonesian Embassy or Consulate in Canada. There are different visa types for business visits, social visits, and even a digital nomad visa. Each visa will have its own specific requirements, so be sure to check with the embassy for details.
