Bali Visa FAQ 2026 — Every Question, Answered

Bali Visa Trusted is a licensed Indonesian visa and immigration agency based in Kuta, Bali, operated by Juara Holding Group. For 11 years we have helped over 8,400+ foreigners — tourists, digital nomads, retirees and investors — obtain every type of Indonesian visa, from the Visa on Arrival to the Golden Visa.

Yes. Bali Visa Trusted is registered with Indonesia's Directorate General of Immigration (Ditjen Imigrasi RI), works from a physical office in Kuta, and files only through official government portals such as evisa.imigrasi.go.id. We publish transparent pricing and reply on WhatsApp in 11 years-honed turnaround — under 2 hours during office hours.

Bali Visa Trusted has operated for 11 years, since 2015, making it one of Bali's most established visa agencies. Over that decade we have processed thousands of applications across all 14 Indonesian visa categories and kept our guidance current with every regulation change.

Three things competitors lack: a Smart Visa Finder that identifies your exact visa in 60 seconds, transparent all-in pricing shown in your own currency, and a dedicated licensed case manager for every client. We never outsource, and we handle all 14 visa types — most agents cover only a few.

Check four things: Ditjen Imigrasi registration, a real visitable office, transparent written pricing, and that they file through official portals (not lookalike websites). Bali Visa Trusted meets all four. Never pay an agent who refuses a written quote or routes you to an unofficial payment page.

Message us on WhatsApp at +62 811 2859 0000 or email [email protected]. Our office is on Jl. Sunset Road, Kuta, Bali, open daily 08:00–20:00 WITA. We reply in under 2 hours during office hours and serve clients in English, Indonesian, German, Russian and French.

Yes. We handle individual, family and group applications, in-country KITAS conversions, investor PT PMA setups, retirement and second-home visas, and urgent overstay cases. Each case gets one dedicated consultant who manages it end to end.

It depends on your nationality. In 2026, about 97 nationalities qualify for the Visa on Arrival (VOA/eVOA), roughly 13 enter visa-free, and a small 'calling-visa' list needs special processing. The VOA costs IDR 500,000 (~USD 35) for 30 days. Check your country on our by-nationality guides.

Online (eVOA) is better. The eVOA costs the same IDR 500,000 but is approved before you fly, so you skip the airport VOA queue at Ngurah Rai. Apply at evisa.imigrasi.go.id, or let Bali Visa Trusted handle it error-free for USD 79.

The only official portals are evisa.imigrasi.go.id (eVOA and e-visas) and imigrasi.go.id (the Directorate General of Immigration). The All Indonesia Arrival Card is at allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id. Avoid lookalike 'visa' sites — they are common scam vectors. Bali Visa Trusted files only through these official portals.

The government fee is IDR 500,000 (approximately USD 35) for 30 days, extendable once for another 30. Bali Visa Trusted's done-for-you eVOA service is USD 79 all-in, which removes airport queues and application errors.

Six things: a passport valid 6+ months, a valid visa or eVOA, the All Indonesia Arrival Card, an onward ticket, an accommodation booking, and the Bali Tourist Levy (IDR 150,000). Travellers may also be asked to show about USD 2,000 in proof of funds.

Yes. Since 2024, all foreign visitors must pay the Bali Tourist Levy of IDR 150,000 per person, via the Love Bali app or on arrival. It is separate from your visa fee and applies in addition to the VOA or any other visa.

On a VOA or eVOA, up to 60 days (30 days plus one 30-day extension). The B211A/C1 visit visa allows up to 60 days, extendable. For longer stays you need a KITAS (1–2 years) or the Second Home Visa (5–10 years). Bali Visa Trusted can map the right route for your dates.

Most visas extend in-country. Since May 2025, extensions require an in-person biometric appointment at a Bali immigration office. Bali Visa Trusted prepares your paperwork, books the appointment and accompanies you. The VOA extension government fee is IDR 500,000.

No. Since May 2025 an in-person biometric scan is mandatory for extensions, so you must attend the immigration office yourself. An agent like Bali Visa Trusted can prepare every document, book the slot and minimise your wait, but cannot replace your physical presence.

No. Tourist visas prohibit work, and this is actively enforced in 2026 by the Dharma Dewata task force. Remote workers earning USD 60,000+/year from an overseas employer need the E33G Digital Nomad KITAS. Bali Visa Trusted can confirm your eligibility and apply for you.

The E33G is a one-year Indonesian residence permit for foreigners working remotely for a company outside Indonesia. You need USD 60,000/year income, an overseas contract, USD 2,000 in the bank and health insurance. It is not renewable — you re-apply to continue. Our all-in service is USD 1,490.

Yes — with the C5A Social-Media Creator Visa, introduced in 2025 specifically for content creators. Creating monetised content on a tourist visa is illegal and enforced in 2026. The C5A allows 60 days, extendable, and our service is USD 449. For ongoing paid local work, the Entertainment KITAS applies.

A KITAS (Kartu Izin Tinggal Terbatas) is an Indonesian limited-stay residence permit, valid 1–2 years and renewable. You need one to live, work, retire, study, invest or join family in Bali long-term. Bali Visa Trusted handles every KITAS type: E33G, E23, E28A, E31, E33F, student and entertainment.

Yes. Foreigners aged 55+ can retire in Bali on the E33F Retirement KITAS, requiring about USD 3,000/month income and health insurance. It is renewable annually and leads to permanent residency (KITAP). Our all-in retirement service is USD 1,290.

The Second Home Visa (E33) is a 5 or 10-year residence permit. You deposit IDR 2 billion (~USD 130,000) in an Indonesian state bank within 90 days of arrival, or own qualifying property. There is no upper age limit, and family can follow as dependants.

In most cases, yes. In-country conversion (alih status) lets you switch from a B211A/C1 visit visa to most KITAS types without leaving Indonesia, provided enough validity remains. Bali Visa Trusted manages the conversion so you keep your stay continuous.

Bali Visa Trusted prices everything all-in, in US dollars, from USD 79 for the eVOA to USD 4,500+ for the Second Home Visa service. Each price bundles the government fee and our service fee — no hidden charges. Only official deposits (e.g. the Second Home bank deposit) are separate.

Yes. Every quote is the government fee plus our service fee, itemised in writing before any work starts. We are a premium, fully-managed agency — not the cheapest, the most thorough — and we never add surprise charges at the end.

We accept secure international payments in USD by Mastercard, Visa, American Express, JCB, Airwallex, Wise, Stripe and bank transfer. You receive an itemised invoice first. For quotes and payment details, contact [email protected] or WhatsApp +62 811 2859 0000.

Dharma Dewata is a 2026 immigration-and-police task force that patrols Bali — including Canggu, Ubud and Seminyak — targeting foreigners working illegally on tourist visas, with social-media monitoring. If you do any paid activity in Bali, get on the correct visa. Bali Visa Trusted can advise immediately.

Yes, it is mandatory for all arrivals in 2026. The All Indonesia Arrival Card (AIDC) is completed online at allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id within 3 days before travel; it replaced the old e-CD and health pass in 2025. Keep the QR code ready for immigration at Ngurah Rai.

Overstaying costs a fine of IDR 1,000,000 (~USD 65) per day, payable before you leave. Overstaying 60 days or more is a criminal offence that can lead to detention, deportation and a re-entry ban. If you have overstayed, contact Bali Visa Trusted immediately for emergency help.

Act immediately: do not attempt to fly out without resolving it. Message Bali Visa Trusted on WhatsApp at +62 811 2859 0000 now. We arrange urgent extensions or an Exit Permit, calculate and settle the fine, and guide you through immigration so you avoid detention or a blacklist.

Yes. Every traveller needs their own visa regardless of age — children pay the full VOA/eVOA fee (IDR 500,000) and appear on their own application. Infants on a parent's passport still require their own visa entry. Family applications can be processed together in one batch.

Children must be included on the All Indonesia Arrival Card (one family submission covers them). The IDR 150,000 tourist levy applies per person, including children, though enforcement practice varies — pay it via the official Love Bali platform to be safe.

No. The All Indonesia Arrival Card is an international entry requirement, completed once per arrival into Indonesia. Domestic flights within Indonesia — Bali to Jakarta, Lombok or Labuan Bajo — do not require a new submission.

Yes. The IDR 150,000 levy targets foreign tourists. KITAS/KITAP residence-permit holders are exempt, as are several other categories such as diplomatic visa holders. Carry proof of your permit (digital ITAS) in case of checkpoint inspection in tourist areas.

Retry with a different card or use the official counter channels; payments sometimes fail on foreign cards. Only ever pay through lovebali.baliprov.go.id or official airport counters — fake 'levy payment' websites are an active scam pattern. Keep the QR receipt on your phone.

Not for tourist entry (VOA/eVOA/C1) as of July 2026 — it is strongly recommended, and airlines or specific visa types can require it. KITAS categories, including the E33G remote-worker visa, do require health coverage as part of the application.

Usually not at the border today, but immigration can ask, and Bali has announced plans to screen tourists' financial means. A bank statement showing roughly IDR 2,000,000 per day of stay is the safe benchmark. eVisa applications already require a USD 2,000 statement.

Airlines require an onward ticket at check-in and immigration can ask for it. A genuine refundable ticket is safe; disposable 'onward ticket rental' services are a grey zone — they usually pass check-in, but a cancelled reservation discovered at the desk can mean denied boarding.

Risky. Immigration generally requires at least 6 months of passport validity for visas and extensions. If your passport is close to that line, renew it first — or talk to us about sequencing the renewal and extension so you stay legal throughout.

MERP is the re-entry permit that keeps a KITAS valid when you leave Indonesia. Under the digital ITAS system it is now bundled with the permit rather than issued as a separate booklet stamp — most KITAS holders no longer arrange it separately.

Not on the same visa — but your spouse can hold a dependent (E31 family) KITAS attached to your retirement KITAS. Each person holds their own permit. We routinely file retiree-plus-spouse applications together so both permits land at the same time.

55 or older for the standard E33F retirement KITAS. Under-55s with strong finances can consider the Second Home visa (E33) or other KITAS routes instead. Proof of pension or passive income around USD 1,500–3,000 per month is the working benchmark.

Stay calm: passports are held during normal processing windows (extensions, KITAS issuance). Ask your agent for the case status and expected release date. If an unlicensed agent is unreachable and holding your passport, treat it as an emergency — contact us or your embassy immediately.
