Do Norwegians Need a Visa for Bali in 2026?
Yes — Norwegian passport-holders need a visa for Bali, but the standard route is simple. Norwegian citizens are on the Visa on Arrival (VOA) list, so for a normal holiday you do not need to apply in advance at the Indonesian Embassy in Oslo. You buy the VOA on arrival at Ngurah Rai (Denpasar) Airport, or — far more reliably — apply for the eVOA (visum) online before you fly.
The VOA grants 30 days from arrival and can be extended once for a further 30 days — a maximum of 60 days in Bali. For a holiday or a first scouting trip, the VOA or eVOA is enough.
A note for Norwegians: although Norway is in Schengen, it is not in the EU, and either way that has no bearing on Indonesian entry — Indonesia treats Norway as an individual VOA-eligible country. Bali is one of the most popular long-haul winter destinations for Norwegians escaping the dark, cold season, and a meaningful number stay for months at a time or relocate. Norway’s high cost of living also makes Bali attractive for remote workers and earlier retirees. The long-stay visas below apply, quoted in kroner and dollars.

How Norwegians Apply for the eVOA — Step by Step
We recommend Norwegian travellers apply for the eVOA online before departure so the long winter journey ends with a quick airport exit:
- Use the official portal only — evisa.imigrasi.go.id. This is the sole official Indonesian eVOA site; check the URL to avoid scam copies. Apply 90 days to 48 hours before departure.
- Register and select “Visa on Arrival (B1)”, choosing Norway as your nationality.
- Upload your documents — the bio page of your Norwegian passport (pass), valid 6+ months beyond arrival with a blank page, plus a passport-style photo.
- Pay IDR 500,000 by Visa, Mastercard or JCB. Your Norwegian card is charged the krone equivalent at your bank’s rate. Norwegian cards rarely have international issues, but tell your bank anyway.
- Receive the eVOA PDF by email — print it and keep a phone copy. Up to five applicants per session, useful for families.
- On arrival, use the eVOA lane, complete the All Indonesia Arrival Card, and pay the tourist levy.
If you’d prefer we handle it, message us and we’ll prepare or submit the eVOA for you.
Best Long-Stay Visa for Norwegians
Norwegians who base in Bali are often winter-escaping retirees, remote professionals and lifestyle residents trading Nordic cold and prices for Bali’s climate. The long-stay choice usually comes down to:
- Retiring or semi-retiring in Bali? The Retirement KITAS E33F suits Norwegians aged 55+ with around USD 3,000/month income, health insurance and a Bali rental — comfortably within reach for many Norwegian pensions.
- Working remotely for an overseas employer? 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 exit and re-apply to continue.
- Wintering in Bali, summering in Norway? A Multiple-Entry visa (D1/D2) — valid 1, 2 or 5 years with up to 60 days per entry — fits a seasonal pattern.
- Settling for years at any age, or buying property? The Second Home Visa E33 requires an IDR 2 billion (~USD 130,000) deposit in a state bank within 90 days of arrival, or qualifying property — no employment requirement, no upper age limit.
Many Norwegians start on a B211A and convert to a KITAS onshore. We’ll map the cleanest legal path, in kroner and US dollars.
Norwegian Passport — What You Need at Ngurah Rai Airport
Arriving in Bali on a Norwegian 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 per person.
- Onward/return ticket and accommodation booking.
- Proof of funds: be ready to show around USD 2,000 equivalent and roughly three months of bank statements — rarely an issue for Norwegian travellers, but be prepared.
The authoritative source is Indonesian immigration at imigrasi.go.id — follow the Indonesian rule over third-party advice. Norway’s Schengen status does not change Indonesian requirements.

FAQ — Bali Visa for Norwegians
Q1: Is Bali visa-free for Norwegian citizens in 2026?
No. Norway is not on Indonesia’s visa-free list, but Norwegians are VOA-eligible: IDR 500,000 (~NOK 380 / USD 35) for 30 days, extendable once to 60. Norway’s Schengen membership doesn’t apply — Indonesia treats Norway individually. Apply for the eVOA online or buy the VOA on arrival.
Q2: I want to escape the Norwegian winter — what’s the longest I can stay easily?
On the VOA/eVOA, up to 60 days (30 + one extension). For a full winter season, the cleanest options are a B211A visit visa (60 days, extendable), a Multiple-Entry visa, or, for repeat winters, a longer KITAS or the Second Home Visa.
Q3: Can Norwegian retirees get a long-stay visa for Bali?
Yes. The Retirement KITAS E33F is available from age 55 with around USD 3,000/month income, health insurance and a Bali rental — within reach for many Norwegian pensions. For ages 60+, the 5-year Silver Hair Visa (E33E) is an alternative with a deposit requirement.
Q4: How long can Norwegian citizens stay in Bali?
On the VOA/eVOA, up to 60 days (30 + one 30-day extension). For longer, use a B211A, a Multiple-Entry D1, a KITAS, or the Second Home Visa.
Q5: Can Norwegians work remotely from Bali legally?
Only on the right visa. The VOA and B211A prohibit work, and enforcement is active in 2026. Norwegian remote workers earning USD 60,000+/year need the Digital Nomad Visa E33G. Read the 2026 rules →.
