How Bali Visa Application researches, verifies and pays for the guide you’re reading — written plainly, so you always know where our information and our money come from.
Bali Visa Application is an independent guide to visiting and staying in Indonesia. We are not a government website, and we are not affiliated with the Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi or any official immigration office. This page explains how we decide what to publish, how we check our facts, and how we earn money — because trust starts with being honest about all three.
What we publish is decided by us alone. No agent, advertiser or partner can pay to change a recommendation, soften a warning, or have a competitor left out. Our guidance reflects what we believe is accurate and genuinely useful for travellers, not who is paying us in a given month. If a commercial relationship ever conflicted with telling you the truth, the truth wins — every time.
We build each page from official Indonesian sources first — immigration regulations, official visa portals and published government fee schedules — and then sanity-check the practical details against on-the-ground quotes from the licensed agents we work with. Visa rules and fees change, so we date our pages and re-check them on a regular cycle. The information on this guide was last verified in June 2026. Where a number is an estimate or a typical range rather than a fixed official figure, we say so.
This guide is free to read, and we keep it that way through referrals. When we introduce you to a vetted, licensed visa agent and you choose to use their service, we may earn a referral fee. That fee is paid by the agent, not by you — it does not add anything to the price you are quoted, and you are never obliged to use anyone we suggest. We only introduce agents we would be comfortable recommending to family.
To be completely clear: Bali Visa Application is a private, independent publication. We do not issue visas, we do not process applications ourselves, and we have no official authority. Official decisions, approvals and fees are set by the Indonesian government. We explain how the system works and help you reach the right people; the final word always rests with the authorities.
We work hard to keep every page accurate, but rules shift and mistakes happen. If you spot something that looks out of date or wrong, please tell us — we genuinely want to know. Message us on WhatsApp at +62 811-3823-875 or email [email protected] with the page and the detail in question, and we will review it promptly and update the guide where needed.
If anything about how we report or disclose isn’t clear, ask us directly — we’re happy to explain.
