Do Dutch Citizens Need a Visa for Bali in 2026?
Yes — Netherlands passport-holders need a visa (Dutch: visum) for Bali, but it is simple. The Netherlands and Indonesia share deep historical ties, and Bali remains one of the most popular long-haul destinations for Dutch travellers — but those ties do not grant visa-free entry. The Netherlands is on Indonesia’s Visa on Arrival (VOA) list. For a holiday you do not apply at the Indonesian Embassy in The Hague or the consulate in Amsterdam. You buy the VOA on arrival at Ngurah Rai Airport, or — the recommended route — apply for the eVOA online before departure.
The VOA gives you 30 days from arrival and can be extended once for another 30 days — up to 60 days in Bali. For a typical Dutch trip — a few weeks of holiday, a diving trip, a wellness retreat, or a short remote-work stay — the VOA or eVOA covers it.
If you plan to stay beyond 60 days — the Netherlands sends a notable share of Bali’s long-stay residents and retirees — you’ll need a longer visa arranged in advance, covered below.

How Dutch Citizens Apply for the eVOA — Step by Step
We recommend Dutch 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 scam sites exist, so check the URL. Apply 90 days to 48 hours before departure.
- Register and select “Visa on Arrival (B1)”, choosing Netherlands as your nationality.
- Upload your Dutch 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 Dutch card is charged the EUR equivalent (about €32) at your bank’s rate. A Maestro/V-Pay debit card alone may not work for international online payments — use a Visa or Mastercard.
- 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.

Best Long-Stay Visa for Dutch Citizens
Dutch long-stayers in Bali are a mix of remote professionals, entrepreneurs and retirees — many with family or historical connections to Indonesia — so the long-stay choice usually comes down to:
- Working remotely for a Dutch (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 Dutch AOW or company 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 Dutch clients test the lifestyle on a B211A and then convert to a KITAS onshore. We’ll set out the cheapest legal route, in euros.
Dutch Passport — What You Need at Ngurah Rai Airport
Arriving in Bali on a Netherlands 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 Dutch government’s travel advice (Nederland Wereldwijd / wijsopreis.nl) reflects these rules, but the authoritative source is Indonesian immigration at imigrasi.go.id. Where advice differs, follow the Indonesian rule.

FAQ — Bali Visa for Dutch Citizens
Q1: Can I use my Dutch bank card for the eVOA?
Use a Visa or Mastercard credit/debit card — evisa.imigrasi.go.id accepts Visa, Mastercard and JCB. A Maestro or V-Pay debit card on its own often cannot make international online payments, which catches out some Dutch 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 Dutch citizens in 2026?
No. Despite the historical ties between the Netherlands and Indonesia, Dutch passport-holders are not visa-free — but they are VOA-eligible: IDR 500,000 (~€32) for 30 days, extendable once to 60. There’s no need to visit an Indonesian consulate in the Netherlands for a holiday.
Q3: How long can Dutch 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 Dutch citizens work remotely from Bali on a tourist visa?
No. The VOA and B211A prohibit work, and Indonesia is enforcing this in 2026. Dutch 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 Dutch retirees have a Bali visa option?
Yes. Dutch nationals aged 55+ qualify for the Retirement KITAS E33F (USD 3,000/month income + health insurance); a Dutch AOW state pension or company pension can be used to evidence the income. Those wanting an age-flexible long stay choose the Second Home Visa E33.

“I have family roots in Indonesia and assumed that helped with the visa — it doesn’t, but Juara Holding Group made it easy anyway. They handled my eVOA and later my retirement KITAS, every fee shown in euros.” — Sander V., Utrecht, Netherlands ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
