Traveling to Bali from Canada? You might be wondering if you need a visa to enter this beautiful Indonesian paradise. The answer depends on the length of your stay.
Canadians on Short Stays (Up to 30 Days):
Lucky for you, Canadian passport holders planning a short Bali visit (up to 30 days) can obtain a Visa on Arrival (VOA) upon reaching Indonesia. This means no need to apply for a visa beforehand! You can get your VOA at the airport upon arrival or at any Indonesian immigration office.
Here’s what you’ll need for a VOA:
- Passport valid for at least six months from your entry date to Bali.
- Proof of onward or return flight ticket.
- Evidence of sufficient funds for your stay (amount can vary).
- Payment for the VOA fee (around IDR 500,000).
Canadians on Longer Stays (Over 30 Days):
If your Bali adventure extends beyond 30 days, you’ll need to apply for a visa in advance at the Indonesian embassy or consulate in Canada. Different visa types cater to longer stays, so research the one that suits your purpose (tourism, business, etc.).
General Visa Requirements (be sure to confirm specifics before your trip):
- Completed visa application form.
- Valid passport with sufficient validity.
- Recent passport-sized photos.
- Proof of travel insurance.
- Proof of accommodation in Bali.
- Depending on the visa type, additional documentation might be required.
Pro Tip: Double-check visa regulations and requirements with the nearest Indonesian embassy or consulate in Canada for the most up-to-date information. They can guide you through the specific visa application process for your situation.
So, do you need a visa for Bali from Canada?
It depends on the duration of your stay. For short trips under 30 days, a Visa on Arrival is sufficient. For longer stays, you’ll need to apply for a visa beforehand.
Remember: Entry requirements can change, so plan ahead and ensure you have the necessary documentation for a smooth arrival in Bali.
