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

New Zealand citizens are eligible for the Bali Visa on Arrival in 2026, costing IDR 500,000 (~NZD 58) for 30 days, extendable once to 60. New Zealanders are not visa-free, so the VOA is required. For longer stays, Kiwis commonly choose the Digital Nomad E33G, Retirement E33F, or Second Home Visa E33.

Do New Zealanders Need a Visa for Bali in 2026?

Yes — and this catches some Kiwis out, because Australians and New Zealanders often assume the same rules apply across the Tasman. New Zealand citizens are not visa-free for Bali; you are on the Visa on Arrival (VOA) list, so a visa is required for every trip. The good news is it is one of the simplest visas in the world to obtain. You do not need to apply at the Indonesian Embassy in Wellington or the consulate in Auckland for a holiday. You either buy the VOA when you land at Ngurah Rai Airport, or — the smoother route — apply for the eVOA online before flying from Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch.

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 standard Kiwi holiday — a beach break escaping the New Zealand winter, a surf trip, a wedding, or a few weeks of remote work — the VOA or eVOA is all you need.

If your plans run past 60 days — and many New Zealanders spend the southern winter in Bali, retire here, or work remotely long-term — you will need a longer visa arranged in advance, covered below.

How New Zealanders Apply for the eVOA — Step by Step

New Zealanders should apply for the eVOA online before flying rather than queuing at the airport:

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 New Zealand as your nationality.
3. Upload your documents — your New Zealand 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 New Zealand debit or credit card works fine for the NZD-equivalent charge (your bank converts at its own rate, often adding a foreign-transaction fee).
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 New Zealanders

New Zealanders in Bali for the long term tend to split between remote workers and retirees, so the choice usually comes down to three permits:

• Working remotely for a New Zealand (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 Kiwi retirees, requiring USD 3,000/month income, health insurance, and a Bali rental. Many 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 New Zealanders who can place an IDR 2 billion (~NZD 237,000) deposit in a state bank within 90 days of arrival, or who own qualifying property — no upper age limit, no employment requirement.

Not sure which fits? New Zealanders 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.

New Zealand Passport — What You Need at Ngurah Rai Airport

When you land in Bali on a New Zealand passport, the entry process expects:

• 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 New Zealand arrival.
• Bali Tourist Levy: IDR 150,000 (~NZD 17) 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 (~NZD 3,350) or equivalent, plus roughly three months of bank statements — rarely checked for short holidays, but have it ready.

A useful tip for Kiwis: SafeTravel (the MFAT 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 New Zealanders in NZD

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

FAQ — Bali Visa for New Zealanders

Q1: Is Bali visa-free for New Zealanders in 2026?
No. This is the key point for Kiwis: New Zealand is not on Indonesia’s visa-free list. You need the Visa on Arrival — IDR 500,000 (~NZD 58) for 30 days, extendable once to 60. It’s quick and easy, but it is required for every trip, so don’t assume you can simply walk in.

Q2: Can I use my New Zealand debit card for the eVOA payment?
Yes. The official portal evisa.imigrasi.go.id accepts Visa, Mastercard and JCB, so most New Zealand debit and credit cards work for the IDR 500,000 (~NZD 58) charge. Your bank converts to NZD 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.

Q3: Do the same Bali visa rules apply to New Zealanders as Australians?
Yes, in practice — both are VOA-eligible (not visa-free), both pay IDR 500,000 for 30 days extendable to 60, and both use the same long-stay options. The requirements at Ngurah Rai are identical. See the Australia page for the side-by-side.

Q4: How long can New Zealanders stay in Bali?
On the VOA/eVOA, up to 60 days (30 days plus one 30-day extension). For longer, New Zealanders use a B211A (60 days, extendable), a KITAS (1–2 years), or the Second Home Visa (5–10 years).

Q5: Can New Zealanders work remotely in Bali on a tourist visa?
No. The VOA and B211A prohibit work, and Indonesia is actively enforcing this in 2026. Kiwi remote workers earning USD 60,000+/year need the Digital Nomad Visa E33G. Read what counts as “work” in 2026 →.
