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)

1. Go to the official Indonesian e-VOA site 1–2 weeks before travel.
2. Create an account and select the e-VOA (electronic Visa on Arrival).
3. Upload your passport bio page (6+ months validity) and a photograph.
4. Pay the IDR 500,000 fee by debit or credit card.
5. Receive the QR-coded e-VOA by email within 24–72 hours and print it.
6. Complete the All Indonesia arrival declaration within 3 days before arrival.
7. If visiting Bali, pay the IDR 150,000 Bali Tourist Levy online and save the receipt/QR code.
8. At the airport, use the e-VOA / autogate lane to enter.

Option B: VOA (get it at the airport)

1. Ensure your passport has at least 6 months validity and carry a return ticket.
2. On arrival at an eligible airport, proceed to the Visa on Arrival counter.
3. Pay the IDR 500,000 fee (card or cash where accepted).
4. Receive the VOA stamp for a 30-day stay.
5. 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.
