In addition to a visa, you must also complete an Indonesia Arrival Card and pay the Bali Tourist Tax.

To enter Bali, you need a valid passport and the correct entry permission for your nationality, which may be a B1 Tourist Visa, or a C1 Visit Visa.

Bali’s visa requirements depend on your nationality, travel purpose, and length of stay. Citizens of ASEAN countries can enter Indonesia visa-free for stays of up to 30 days.

If you need a visa and you’re from an eligible country, you can choose from 2 different online visas for Bali: the B1 Tourist Visa and the C1 Visit Visa.

This page includes useful information about the Bali visa policy and entry requirements.

Who Needs a Visa for Bali?

Whether you need a visa to enter Bali depends on your nationality and the length of your stay. Entry rules are set by the Directorate General of Immigration in Indonesia.

Visa exemption (ASEAN countries)

Citizens of ASEAN countries do not need a visa for stays of up to 30 days. This stay cannot be extended and is intended for tourism or short visits.

B1 Tourist Visa

Travellers from many countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, EU countries, Canada, and Australia, can apply for a B1 Visa before arrival.

C1 Visitor Visa

If your nationality is not eligible for the B1 visa, or if you plan to stay longer than 30 days, you can apply for a Visitor Visa online before travelling.

Bali Online Visas

The B1 and C1 visas are the easiest options for tourists. You can apply for both completely online.

Both are single-entry visas and must be used within 90 days of issue. The only difference is how long you can stay in Indonesia. Here’s a quick overview:

B1 C1
Number of entries Single entry Single entry
Validity 90 days 90 days
Length of stay 30 days 60 days

Visa validity is not the same as length of stay. The 90-day validity period is the time you have to enter Indonesia after the visa is issued.

You can apply for both visas using the same form on IndonesiaVisaOnline.com. We’ll choose the right visa for you based on how long you plan to stay.
