Bali Visa for Vietnamese Citizens 2026 — Visa-Free Entry & Long-Stay
Vietnamese citizens enter Bali visa-free for up to 30 days in 2026 — no visa fee — as ASEAN members. Visa-free entry is non-extendable; to stay longer, Vietnamese travellers use the Visa on Arrival (IDR 500,000, ~VND 870,000, extendable to 60 days) or a long-stay visa like the Digital Nomad E33G. All arrivals complete the All Indonesia Arrival Card.

Do Vietnamese Travellers Need a Visa for Bali in 2026?
No — for a short trip, Vietnamese passport-holders do not need a visa for Bali. As fellow members of ASEAN, Vietnamese citizens enjoy visa-free entry to Indonesia for up to 30 days of tourism, at no visa cost. You arrive at Ngurah Rai (Denpasar) Airport with a valid passport and the required arrival card; there is no VOA fee for a standard short visit. With growing flight connections from Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi (usually via Singapore or Kuala Lumpur), Bali is an increasingly popular getaway for Vietnamese travellers.
There is one important limitation: visa-free entry cannot be extended and cannot be converted to a longer permit onshore. The free 30 days is exactly that — 30 days, then you must leave.
So if you want to stay longer than 30 days, you have two choices:
- Buy the Visa on Arrival (VOA) instead of entering visa-free. The VOA costs IDR 500,000 (~VND 870,000) for 30 days but, unlike visa-free entry, it can be extended once to 60 days total. If you know in advance you’ll want more than 30 days, choose the VOA/eVOA from the start.
- Apply for a long-stay visa (KITAS or Second Home) if you intend to live, work or invest in Bali.
Vietnam is one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing outbound travel markets, and more Vietnamese remote workers and entrepreneurs are exploring Bali as a base. We cover both the short-trip and long-stay routes below.
Visa Options for Vietnamese Travellers

When Vietnamese Travellers Should Apply for the eVOA Anyway
Visa-free is great for short trips — but if you might stay beyond 30 days, apply for the eVOA before you fly so your stay is extendable:
- Use the official portal only — evisa.imigrasi.go.id. It is the sole official Indonesian eVOA site; check the URL to avoid scam copies (Vietnamese-language fakes exist). Apply 90 days to 48 hours before departure.
- Register and select “Visa on Arrival (B1)”, choosing Vietnam as your nationality.
- Upload your Vietnamese 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. Many Vietnamese debit cards are domestic-only (NAPAS) and cannot pay internationally — you may need a Visa/Mastercard credit card, a relative’s card, or an agent to pay for you.
- Receive the eVOA PDF by email — print it and keep a phone copy. Up to five applicants per session.
- On arrival, use the eVOA lane, complete the All Indonesia Arrival Card, and pay the tourist levy.
If your card won’t process the international payment, message us — we can submit and pay for the eVOA on your behalf and bill transparently.
Best Long-Stay Visa for Vietnamese Travellers
Vietnamese who base in Bali are typically remote professionals, online entrepreneurs and lifestyle residents in a young, fast-growing segment. The long-stay choice usually comes down to:
- 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.
- Travelling frequently between Vietnam and Bali? A Multiple-Entry visa (D1/D2) — valid 1, 2 or 5 years with up to 60 days per entry — suits those keeping a base in both countries.
- Running a business in Bali? Many foreigners establish a PT PMA company and hold an Investor KITAS E28A.
- 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.
Note that visa-free or VOA entries cannot be converted to a KITAS onshore; for a long stay you generally enter on a B211A and convert, or apply for the KITAS directly. We’ll map the cleanest route, with figures in US dollars and Vietnamese đồng.
Vietnamese Passport — What You Need at Ngurah Rai Airport
Even on visa-free entry, Vietnamese travellers need:
- Passport validity: at least 6 months beyond arrival, with a blank page.
- Entry basis: visa-free (≤30 days) or a VOA/eVOA if you want an extendable stay.
- All Indonesia Arrival Card (AIDC): free, at allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id within 3 days before arrival — this applies to visa-free arrivals too.
- Bali Tourist Levy: IDR 150,000 (~VND 260,000) per person.
- Onward/return ticket and accommodation booking — sometimes checked for ASEAN visa-free travellers.
- Proof of funds: be ready to evidence around USD 2,000 equivalent if asked.
The Vietnamese passport gives you easy ASEAN entry, but the authoritative entry rule is set by Indonesian immigration at imigrasi.go.id — follow it over third-party advice.

FAQ — Bali Visa for Vietnamese Travellers
Q1: Is Bali really visa-free for Vietnamese citizens in 2026?
Yes — Vietnamese citizens enter Bali (Indonesia) visa-free for up to 30 days of tourism, as ASEAN members, with no visa fee. The catch is that visa-free entry cannot be extended. If you might stay longer, choose the VOA (IDR 500,000, ~VND 870,000) instead, which extends to 60 days. ASEAN visa-free terms are reviewed periodically — confirm at imigrasi.go.id before you fly.
Q2: My Vietnamese debit card won’t pay on the eVOA site — what can I do?
Many Vietnamese debit cards run on the domestic NAPAS network and can’t make international payments. Use a Visa/Mastercard credit card, ask a relative with an international card, or have us submit and pay for your eVOA and settle transparently. Or simply enter visa-free if your trip is 30 days or fewer. Message us.
Q3: Can I extend my visa-free stay in Bali?
No. Visa-free entry is a fixed 30 days with no extension and no onshore conversion. To stay longer, you must either have entered on a VOA (extendable once to 60 days) or apply for a longer visa such as a B211A or KITAS.
Q4: Should I use visa-free entry or buy the VOA?
If your trip is 30 days or fewer, use free visa-free entry — and you avoid the card-payment issue entirely. If you might want more than 30 days, buy the VOA/eVOA (IDR 500,000, ~VND 870,000) from the start, because only the VOA can be extended to 60 days.
Q5: Can Vietnamese travellers work remotely from Bali on visa-free entry?
No. Neither visa-free entry nor the VOA permits any work, and Indonesia is enforcing this in 2026. Vietnamese remote workers earning USD 60,000+/year need the Digital Nomad Visa E33G. Read the 2026 rules →.
