Ah, Bali, the Island of the Gods! If you’re planning a trip to this tropical paradise, you might be wondering about visa requirements and costs. Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered.
The cost of your visa depends on two main factors: your nationality and the length of your stay.
Visa on Arrival (VoA) or e-Visa on Arrival (e-VoA):
This is the most common option for short-term stays (30 days or less) for many nationalities. You can obtain a VoA upon arrival at Denpasar International Airport in Bali for around IDR 500,000 (roughly USD $35). There’s also an e-VoA option available online, which you need to apply for at least 48 hours in advance. The cost is similar to the VoA.
Things to keep in mind for VoA/e-VoA:
- This is a single entry visa.
- It can be extended once for another 30 days while you’re in Bali, but there’s an additional fee.
- Check with your home country’s embassy in Indonesia or the Indonesian Directorate General of Immigration for the latest visa information and any exemptions that might apply to your nationality.
Longer Stays:
If you’re planning a longer stay in Bali (more than 30 days), you’ll need to apply for a visa beforehand at the Indonesian embassy or consulate in your home country. The cost can vary depending on the visa type and duration of stay, but expect to pay around USD $45 for a 60-day visa, with the possibility of extension for an additional fee.
Here are some resources to help you with your Bali visa application:
- The official website of the Indonesian Directorate General of Immigration: [indonesia immigration ON Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi imigrasi.go.id]
- The website of the Indonesian embassy or consulate in your home country (you can find this through a Google search).
Travel Tip:
Always ensure you have a valid passport with sufficient blank pages for entry stamps and that you meet all the visa requirements before your trip to Bali.
By planning ahead and understanding the visa costs, you can avoid any hassles at the airport and get started on your dream Bali vacation as soon as possible!
