Most visitors to Bali enter on a Visa on Arrival (VOA) or its digital version, the e-VOA. Both grant a 30-day stay and can be extended once for a total of 60 days. Understanding the requirements, cost, and process saves you long queues the moment you touch down at I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS). Here is the latest practical guide for 2026.
Requirements & Cost of VOA/e-VOA
Citizens of more than 90 countries (including Australia, the UK, the US, most of the EU, China, Japan, Korea, India, and ASEAN nations) are eligible for the VOA. Prepare the following:
- A passport valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date.
- A return or onward ticket out of Indonesia.
- The VOA fee of around Rp500,000 per person (roughly USD 35), paid by cash or card at the counter.
- For the e-VOA: apply online at the official portal evisa.imigrasi.go.id a few days before departure, upload your passport photo and a face photo, then pay with an international credit/debit card.
How to Extend the VOA (Total 60 Days)
Both VOA and e-VOA can be extended once, for an extra 30 days, usually at the same fee (about Rp500,000). There are two ways:
- e-VOA: the extension is filed online with no need to visit an immigration office — the most convenient option.
- Sticker VOA: apply directly at an immigration office (e.g. Ngurah Rai Immigration Office in Jimbaran or Denpasar Immigration) or via a licensed visa agent. Start 1–2 weeks before your visa expires to avoid an overstay (a fine of Rp1,000,000 per day).
Steps at Ngurah Rai Airport
Holders of the e-VOA can use the autogate and go straight to baggage claim — far faster. Regular VOA holders: join the “Visa on Arrival” queue and pay at the counter before heading to immigration. Have your electronic arrival card, the e-CD (All Indonesia Custom Declaration), completed online up to 3 days before arrival. Keep your return-ticket proof on your phone for easy display.
