Visa Information
Indonesia (Bali) Visa on Arrival & e-VOA from Bangalore
Visa Information
Planning a Bali or Indonesia trip from Bangalore? As of 2026, Indonesia is no longer visa-free for Indian passport holders. Indians now need a Visa on Arrival (VOA) or the online electronic Visa on Arrival (e-VOA) to enter Indonesia, including Bali. Both cost IDR 500,000, allow a 30-day stay, and can be extended once for a further 30 days. The e-VOA is applied for online before travel; the VOA is obtained at the airport counter on arrival. This page explains both routes - the online e-VOA and the airport VOA - with the visa information, documents required, step-by-step process, fees, processing time, the Bali Tourist Levy, and how to avoid rejection, plus how DocuPro can help you apply from Bangalore.
| Visa type | Visa on Arrival / e-VOA |
|---|---|
| For | Indian passport holders in Bangalore |
| Maximum stay | 30 days (extendable once by 30 days = up to 60 days) |
| Entry type | Single entry |
| Visa validity | e-VOA: enter within 90 days of issue; VOA: issued at the airport |
| Govt Fee | IDR 500,000 (~₹2,800–₹3,000) + Bali Tourist Levy IDR 150,000 (~₹800, Bali only) |
| Processing time | e-VOA: 24–72 hours online; Airport VOA: issued instantly on arrival |
| Region | Asia-Pacific |
Your Two Entry Options: e-VOA vs VOA
| Route | How it works | Max stay | Entry | Fee | Processing time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| e-VOA (online, before travel) | Apply online before you fly; skip the airport visa queue using the e-VOA/autogate lane. | 30 days | Single | IDR 500,000 | 24–72 hours |
| VOA (at the airport) | Obtained at the Visa on Arrival counter on landing at eligible airports. | 30 days | Single | IDR 500,000 | Instant on arrival |
Both routes cost the same and grant the same 30-day stay. The e-VOA is applied for online before travel and lets you use the faster autogate lane; the VOA is issued at the airport counter on arrival. Visa grant time depends on the crowd at the visa countrs and may bring surprises at the peak holiday season of Sept to Jan.
Documents Required
- Passport valid for at least 6 months from arrival, with a blank page
- Confirmed return or onward air ticket
- Proof of accommodation for the stay
- Recent digital passport-size photograph (for e-VOA)
- A debit/credit card to pay the IDR 500,000 fee (for e-VOA)
- Proof of sufficient funds (if requested)
- All Indonesia digital arrival declaration (completed within 3 days before arrival)
- Bali Tourist Levy payment receipt / QR code (if visiting Bali)
Visa Process
Option A: e-VOA (apply online before travel)
- Go to the official Indonesian e-VOA site 1–2 weeks before travel.
- Create an account and select the e-VOA (electronic Visa on Arrival).
- Upload your passport bio page (6+ months validity) and a photograph.
- Pay the IDR 500,000 fee by debit or credit card.
- Receive the QR-coded e-VOA by email within 24–72 hours and print it.
- Complete the All Indonesia arrival declaration within 3 days before arrival.
- If visiting Bali, pay the IDR 150,000 Bali Tourist Levy online and save the receipt/QR code.
- At the airport, use the e-VOA / autogate lane to enter.
Option B: VOA (get it at the airport)
- Ensure your passport has at least 6 months validity and carry a return ticket.
- On arrival at an eligible airport, proceed to the Visa on Arrival counter.
- Pay the IDR 500,000 fee (card or cash where accepted).
- Receive the VOA stamp for a 30-day stay.
- Complete the All Indonesia arrival declaration and, for Bali, pay the Tourist Levy.
Fee and Processing Time
Govt Fee: IDR 500,000 (~₹2,800–₹3,000) + Bali Tourist Levy IDR 150,000 (~₹800, Bali only)
Processing time: e-VOA: 24–72 hours online; Airport VOA: issued instantly on arrival
Extension: The 30-day stay can be extended once by a further 30 days (total 60 days) for an additional IDR 500,000, applied at an Indonesian immigration office before expiry.
Precautions to Avoid Rejection
- Do not assume Bali is visa-free — as of 2026 Indians must obtain a VOA or e-VOA. Arriving without one, or without proof of onward travel, can lead to problems at immigration.
- Apply for the e-VOA only on the official government site ; many look-alike sites overcharge.
- Ensure your passport has at least 6 months validity and a blank page.
- Carry a confirmed return or onward ticket — it is commonly checked.
- The 30-day VOA/e-VOA can be extended only once (by 30 days). Plan extensions at an immigration office at least 7 days before expiry.
- Do not overstay — Indonesia charges a daily overstay fine and enforces it strictly.
- Complete the All Indonesia arrival declaration within 3 days before arrival.
- If visiting Bali, pay the IDR 150,000 Bali Tourist Levy; keep the QR/receipt as it may be checked.
- The VOA/e-VOA is for tourism; it cannot be used for employment.

Both cost IDR 500,000 and allow a 30-day stay. The VOA is obtained at the airport counter on arrival, while the e-VOA is applied for online before travel, letting you skip the visa queue using the e-VOA/autogate lane.
The VOA and e-VOA both cost IDR 500,000 (approximately ₹2,800–₹3,000). If visiting Bali, an additional Bali Tourist Levy of IDR 150,000 (about ₹800) applies.
Yes, once, for an additional 30 days (total 60 days). Apply at an Indonesian immigration office at least 7 days before your current visa expires, or use a local visa agent. The extension costs another IDR 500,000.
The e-VOA is typically issued within 24–72 hours by email as a QR-coded document. Apply 1–2 weeks before travel to be safe.
VOA is available at major international airports including Bali/Denpasar (DPS), Jakarta (CGK), Surabaya (SUB), Lombok (LOP), and several others. Confirm your specific arrival airport supports VOA before travel.
No. Indonesia uses one national immigration system, so a single VOA or e-VOA covers your whole stay across Bali, Lombok, and the Gili Islands. Only Bali charges the separate Tourist Levy.
t is a Bali-specific provincial charge of IDR 150,000 (about ₹800) per person, separate from the visa fee. Pay it online before your trip or on arrival, and keep the QR code or receipt as it may be checked. It does not apply if you never enter Bali.
It is a digital arrival declaration that international travellers should complete within 3 days before arrival. Keep the confirmation accessible for immigration.
Yes. Each traveller, including children, needs their own VOA or e-VOA linked to their own passport, at IDR 500,000 each.
No. The VOA and e-VOA are strictly for tourism and short visits. Employment requires a work permit and the appropriate visa category (such as the B211A or a work visa).
For a smoother arrival — especially on late-night flights from Bangalore — the e-VOA is recommended, as it lets you bypass the airport visa queue. The airport VOA is a reliable fallback if you did not apply online.
