Understanding the true cost of securing a long-term Bali visa in 2026 requires careful consideration beyond initial government fees. Service provider fees for complex applications, such as the Golden Visa or Investor KITAS, typically range from USD 700 for basic assistance to over USD 15,000 for comprehensive relocation packages. For instance, the Second Home Visa mandates a minimum deposit of IDR 2,000,000,000 (approximately USD 130,000) in an Indonesian bank account or equivalent real estate investment [1]. These figures underscore the varied financial commitments involved for foreign nationals seeking extended stays or investment opportunities in Indonesia [2]. Our service provides transparent pricing for various visa categories, catering to diverse needs and budgets.
Entry-Level Visas and Digital Nomad KITAS
For short-term stays or initial remote work permits, several cost-effective options exist. Basic eVOA (electronic Visa On Arrival) or tourist visa assistance typically costs between USD 40 and USD 80 through agencies. A single-entry visit visa (B1/B2, for tourist or business purposes) processed via an agent usually incurs professional fees of USD 120 to USD 220. The initial 1-year Digital Nomad / Remote Worker KITAS, a popular choice for foreign income earners, has agency fees ranging from USD 450 to USD 900 for low-touch assistance. These prices cover the application processing and document submission, excluding government fees which are typically an additional USD 100-200.
Mid-Tier Investor and Long-Stay Visas
More extensive stays and investment-linked visas fall into a higher service fee bracket. An Investor KITAS (E28), designed for individuals investing in an Indonesian company, carries professional agency fees of USD 1,000 to USD 2,000 in Bali. This fee excludes the government visa charge, usually USD 150-300, and any company setup costs or investment capital. The 5-year Second Home Visa, attracting individuals with substantial assets, commonly has agency service fees between USD 1,500 and USD 3,000. This amount does not include the mandatory IDR 2,000,000,000 deposit or property investment requirement [3]. Our Investor KITAS guide provides more details.
Golden Visa Application Services
The Indonesia Golden Visa offers long-term residency for significant investors. Service fees for individual investor Golden Visa applications (5-year or 10-year) typically range from USD 3,000 to USD 8,000. This pricing depends on the level of legal involvement and application complexity. The Golden Visa has substantial investment thresholds, requiring deposits from USD 350,000 to USD 700,000+ depending on the visa duration and investment structure [4]. These investment amounts are separate from the agent’s professional fees. Our team assists with navigating these complex requirements effectively.
Concierge and Full Relocation Packages
For high-net-worth individuals and families seeking comprehensive support, premium packages are available. A full investor relocation package, often including PT PMA (foreign-owned company) setup, Investor KITAS processing, tax ID (NPWP) registration, and initial property guidance, costs between USD 6,000 and USD 15,000. This package frequently includes 12 months of post-arrival support. For Golden Visa applications with portfolio structuring, especially through large international firms, common fee brackets range from USD 10,000 to USD 25,000+ per principal applicant [4]. These services offer a white-glove approach, ensuring a smooth transition. Learn more about our VIP Investor Relocation services.
Understanding Government Fees and Third-Party Costs
Beyond agent service fees, applicants must account for several mandatory and potential additional expenses. Government visa fees are fixed by the Indonesian immigration department and vary by visa type and duration. These fees are usually paid directly to immigration or via the agent as a disbursement. Company setup costs apply for Investor KITAS applicants requiring a PT PMA, typically ranging from USD 1,500 to USD 3,000 for basic incorporation. The most significant financial commitment for investment-linked visas involves the required capital deposit or property purchase. For the Second Home Visa, this is IDR 2,000,000,000. Golden Visa investments start at USD 350,000. Other potential costs include local bank account setup assistance, NPWP registration, and legal consultations for property acquisition.

Key Factors Influencing Your Bali Visa Application Costs
Several critical factors determine the overall cost and complexity of your Bali visa application:
- **Required Capital Threshold:** The minimum investment or deposit amount significantly impacts visa eligibility and category, from IDR 2,000,000,000 for Second Home to USD 350,000+ for Golden Visas.
- **Legality of Remote Work:** Choosing a visa that explicitly permits earning foreign income while residing in Bali, such as the Digital Nomad KITAS, avoids potential legal complications.
- **Visa Duration and Upgradability:** Longer-term visas (5-10 years) often involve higher initial costs but offer stability. The ability to convert to ITAS/ITAP after several years influences long-term planning.
- **Processing Speed and Reliability:** Expedited processing or a guaranteed smooth application process through experienced agents can incur higher fees but reduce risk and wait times, typically 2-10+ weeks.
- **Tax Implications:** Understanding when one becomes an Indonesian tax resident and the taxability of foreign income requires professional advice, often included in higher-tier packages.
- **Family Coverage:** Including dependants (spouse, children) adds to application fees and requires additional documentation, impacting the overall budget.
- **Property Options:** How the visa class interacts with property ownership rules, such as leasehold vs. freehold via PT PMA, is a crucial consideration for investors.
