Bali Visa for Australian Citizens 2026 — VOA, KITAS & Long-Stay

Australian citizens are eligible for the Bali Visa on Arrival in 2026, costing IDR 500,000 (~AUD 55) for 30 days, extendable once to 60. For longer stays, Australians commonly choose the Digital Nomad E33G, Retirement E33F, or Second Home Visa E33. All arrivals must complete the All Indonesia Arrival Card before travel.

Do Australians Need a Visa for Bali in 2026?

Yes — but it is one of the simplest visas in the world to get. Australia is Bali’s number-one source market, and Australian passport-holders are firmly on the Visa on Arrival (VOA) list. You are not visa-free, so you cannot simply walk in; but you also do not need to apply at an Indonesian consulate in Australia for a normal holiday. You either buy the VOA on arrival at Ngurah Rai Airport or, far more smoothly, apply for the eVOA online before you fly out of Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane or Adelaide.

The VOA gives you 30 days, counted from the day you land, and it can be extended once for a further 30 days — a maximum of 60 days in Bali on this visa. If you are coming for a standard beach-and-Bintang holiday, a wedding, a surf trip or a few weeks of remote work to “test” the lifestyle, the VOA or eVOA is all you need.

If your plans run past 60 days — and a growing number of Australians stay for the Bali winter, retire here, or work remotely long-term — you will need a longer visa arranged in advance. We cover those options below.

How Australians Apply for the eVOA — Step by Step

Australians should apply for the eVOA online before flying rather than queuing at the airport. Here is the process:

1. Go to the official portal — evisa.imigrasi.go.id (the only official Indonesian eVOA site; beware lookalike scam sites). Apply between 90 days and 48 hours before departure.
2. Create an account and select “Visa on Arrival (B1)” — choose Australia as your nationality.
3. Upload your documents — your Australian passport bio page (valid 6+ months beyond arrival, with a blank page) and a passport-style photo.
4. Pay the IDR 500,000 fee with a Visa, Mastercard or JCB card — your Australian debit or credit card works fine for the AUD-equivalent charge (your bank converts at its own rate).
5. Receive your eVOA by email as a PDF — print it or keep it on your phone. Up to five applicants can be processed in one session, ideal for families and friend groups.
6. On arrival, use the eVOA lane at Ngurah Rai, complete the All Indonesia Arrival Card and pay the tourist levy.

Best Long-Stay Visa for Australians

Australians are the largest long-stay community in Bali, split mainly between retirees and remote workers — so the choice usually comes down to three permits:

• Working remotely for an Australian (or overseas) employer or clients? The Digital Nomad Visa E33G gives you one year, provided you earn at least USD 60,000/year and hold an overseas employment contract. It is not renewable — you leave and re-apply to continue.
• Aged 55 or over and retiring in Bali? The Retirement KITAS E33F is the classic route for Australian retirees, requiring USD 3,000/month income, health insurance, and a Bali rental. Many of our Australian clients later convert to permanent residency (KITAP).
• Want to settle for years regardless of age, or buy a second home? The Second Home Visa E33 suits Australians who can place an IDR 2 billion (~AUD 218,000) deposit in a state bank within 90 days of arrival, or who own qualifying property. There is no upper age limit and no employment requirement.

Not sure which fits? Australians often start on a B211A visit visa to live in Bali for a couple of months, then convert to a KITAS onshore. We will map the cheapest legal path for your situation.

Australian Passport — What You Need at Ngurah Rai Airport

When you land in Bali on an Australian passport, immigration and the entry process expect:

• Passport validity: at least 6 months beyond your arrival date, with at least one blank page.
• Your visa: a VOA bought on arrival or, ideally, a pre-approved eVOA PDF.
• All Indonesia Arrival Card (AIDC): complete it free at allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id within 3 days before arrival. This replaced the old e-Customs Declaration in 2025 and applies to every Australian arrival.
• Bali Tourist Levy: IDR 150,000 per person, via the Love Bali app or on arrival.
• Proof of onward/return travel and accommodation details.
• Proof of funds: immigration may ask for evidence of around USD 2,000 (~AUD 3,060) or equivalent, plus roughly three months of bank statements — rarely checked for short holidays, but have it ready.

A useful tip for Australians: Smartraveller (the DFAT travel-advice service) echoes these Indonesian requirements, but the authoritative source is Indonesian immigration at imigrasi.go.id. When advice conflicts, follow the Indonesian rule.

Bali Visa Cost for Australians in AUD

The VOA is always priced in Indonesian rupiah at IDR 500,000. Here is roughly what that and other key figures look like in Australian dollars (approximate — your card issuer sets the exact rate):

FAQ — Bali Visa for Australians

Q1: Can I use my Australian debit card for the eVOA payment?
Yes. The official portal evisa.imigrasi.go.id accepts Visa, Mastercard and JCB, so most Australian debit and credit cards work for the IDR 500,000 (~AUD 55) charge. Your bank converts to AUD at its own rate and may add a foreign-transaction fee. If a card is declined, try another or ask us to submit on your behalf.

Q2: Is Bali visa-free for Australians in 2026?
No. Australians are not on Indonesia’s visa-free list — but they are on the Visa on Arrival list, which is nearly as easy. You pay IDR 500,000 (~AUD 55) for 30 days and can extend once to 60 days. For a no-cost ASEAN comparison, see Singapore.

Q3: How long can Australians stay in Bali?
On the VOA/eVOA, up to 60 days (30 days plus one 30-day extension). For longer, Australians use a B211A (60 days, extendable), a KITAS (1–2 years) or the Second Home Visa (5–10 years).

Q4: Can Australians work remotely in Bali on a tourist visa?
No. The VOA and B211A prohibit work, and Indonesia is actively enforcing this in 2026. Australian remote workers earning USD 60,000+/year need the Digital Nomad Visa E33G. Read what counts as “work” in 2026 →.

Q5: Do Australian retirees get a special Bali visa?
Australians aged 55+ qualify for the Retirement KITAS E33F (USD 3,000/month income + health insurance), and those who want a longer, age-flexible option choose the Second Home Visa E33. Bali is one of the most popular retirement destinations for Australians, and both routes are well-trodden.
