Do Germans Need a Visa for Bali in 2026?
Yes — German passport-holders need a visa (German: Visum) for Bali, but it is uncomplicated. Germany is on Indonesia’s Visa on Arrival (VOA) list, not the visa-free list. For a holiday you do not need to apply at the Indonesian Embassy in Berlin or a consulate in Frankfurt, Munich or Hamburg. You either buy the VOA on arrival at Ngurah Rai Airport or — the route we recommend — apply for the eVOA online before departure.
The VOA grants 30 days from arrival and can be extended once by a further 30 days — 60 days maximum in Bali. For most German travellers — two or three weeks of holiday, a diving or surfing trip, a wellness retreat, or a short remote-work stay — the VOA or eVOA is enough.
If you intend to stay beyond 60 days — Germany is a strong source of Bali’s digital-nomad and long-stay community — you will need one of the longer visas described below, arranged in advance.

How Germans Apply for the eVOA — Step by Step
We recommend German travellers apply for the eVOA online before departure to skip the airport queue:
- Use the official portal only — evisa.imigrasi.go.id. It is the single official Indonesian eVOA site; lookalike “Bali Visum” scam sites exist, so check the URL. Apply 90 days to 48 hours before departure.
- Register and select “Visa on Arrival (B1)”, choosing Germany as your nationality.
- Upload your German passport bio page (valid 6+ months beyond arrival, with a blank page) and a passport-style photo.
- Pay IDR 500,000 by Visa, Mastercard or JCB. Your German card is charged the EUR equivalent (about €32) at your bank’s rate. Note that a German EC/girocard alone usually won’t work for international online payments — use a Visa or Mastercard credit/debit card.
- Receive the eVOA PDF by email — print it and keep a phone copy. Up to five applicants per session suits couples and families.
- On arrival, use the eVOA lane, complete the All Indonesia Arrival Card, and pay the tourist levy.
Prefer to delegate it? We prepare, verify and submit your eVOA so a document error never causes a rejection. Message us.
Best Long-Stay Visa for Germans
German long-stayers in Bali are mostly remote professionals and entrepreneurs, with a steady stream of retirees, so the long-stay choice usually comes down to:
- Working remotely for a German (or any overseas) employer or clients? The Digital Nomad Visa E33G gives one year if you earn USD 60,000+/year and hold an overseas employment contract. It is not renewable — you leave and re-apply to continue.
- Aged 55+ and retiring in Bali? The Retirement KITAS E33F requires USD 3,000/month income (a German pension can qualify), health insurance, and a Bali rental.
- Settling for years at any age, or buying property? The Second Home Visa E33 requires an IDR 2 billion (~EUR 120,000) deposit in a state bank within 90 days of arrival, or qualifying property — no employment requirement, no upper age limit.
Many Germans test the lifestyle on a B211A and then convert to a KITAS onshore. We will set out the cheapest legal route, in euros.
German Passport — What You Need at Ngurah Rai Airport
Arriving in Bali on a German passport, you should have:
- Passport validity: at least 6 months beyond arrival, with a blank page.
- Your visa: VOA on arrival or a pre-approved eVOA.
- All Indonesia Arrival Card (AIDC): free, at allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id within 3 days before arrival.
- Bali Tourist Levy: IDR 150,000 (~EUR 9) per person.
- Onward/return ticket and accommodation booking.
- Proof of funds: be ready to evidence around USD 2,000 (~EUR 1,840) and roughly three months of bank statements.
The German Federal Foreign Office (Auswärtiges Amt) travel advice for Indonesia reflects these rules, but the authoritative source is Indonesian immigration at imigrasi.go.id. If the advice differs, follow the Indonesian rule.

FAQ — Bali Visa for Germans
Q1: Can I use my German bank card for the eVOA?
Use a Visa or Mastercard credit/debit card — evisa.imigrasi.go.id accepts Visa, Mastercard and JCB. A German EC-/girocard on its own typically cannot make international online payments, which trips up many German applicants. The charge is the EUR equivalent of IDR 500,000 (about €32). If your card is declined, we can submit on your behalf.
Q2: Is Bali visa-free for German citizens in 2026?
No. Germans are not on the visa-free list, but they are VOA-eligible: IDR 500,000 (~€32) for 30 days, extendable once to 60. There is no need to visit an Indonesian consulate in Germany for a normal holiday.
Q3: How long can German citizens stay in Bali?
On the VOA/eVOA, up to 60 days (30 + one 30-day extension). For longer, use a B211A, a KITAS (1–2 years), or the Second Home Visa (5–10 years).
Q4: Can Germans work remotely from Bali on a tourist visa?
No. The VOA and B211A prohibit work (Arbeiten verboten), and Indonesia is enforcing this in 2026. German remote workers earning USD 60,000+/year need the Digital Nomad Visa E33G; content creators need the C5A Creator Visa. Read the 2026 rules →.
Q5: Do German retirees have a Bali visa option?
Yes. Germans aged 55+ qualify for the Retirement KITAS E33F (USD 3,000/month income + health insurance), while those wanting an age-flexible long stay choose the Second Home Visa E33. A German pension can be used to evidence the income requirement.
