Indonesian visa rules, fees and eligibility lists are reviewed periodically, and the figures across this site — durations, fee bands and routes — were last verified in June 2026. This page is our running editorial note on what has changed, what we are watching, and how we check our facts. It is not a substitute for the official rules: we always encourage you to confirm your nationality’s current eligibility with us before you book.
What changed
The biggest shift in recent years has been the move to an official electronic system. The e-Visa and e-VoA portals now let many travellers pre-approve their entry online before flying, rather than only paying at the airport counter. Alongside this, the older pre-2020 visa-free arrangements that some nationalities once relied on no longer apply broadly — for most visitors the paid Visa on Arrival, or a visit visa for longer stays, is now the standard route. Fee bands are also reviewed from time to time, which is why we quote ranges and date-stamp them rather than promising a fixed figure forever.
02
What to watch
A few things tend to move and are worth checking close to your travel date: which nationalities sit on the Visa on Arrival eligible list, the exact government fee for the VoA and its extension, the duration and extension limits on the B211A visit visa, and the documentation required for long-stay KITAS permits. Rules around remote work and longer-stay categories also continue to evolve. None of these change every week, but they do change — so treat any specific number you read online, including ours, as a guide to confirm rather than a guarantee.
03
How we verify
We date-stamp our key facts — you will see “Last verified: June 2026” on our pages — and we review them against current official guidance and the experience of the vetted agents we work with day to day. When a fee band or a duration appears to have shifted, we update the affected pages and move the verification date forward. Where there is uncertainty, we say so plainly rather than guessing. The honest answer is that visa policy depends on current rules, so the most reliable step is always to confirm your specific situation before you commit to flights.
Frequently Asked
Common questions
Short, honest answers. Still unsure? Our concierge replies personally on WhatsApp.
01
Are the fees and durations on this site guaranteed?
No. They are accurate to the best of our knowledge as of the verification date shown (June 2026), but Indonesian visa rules and fee bands are reviewed periodically. Always confirm your own situation with us before booking.
02
Can I still enter Bali visa-free?
For most nationalities, no. The older pre-2020 visa-free arrangements no longer apply broadly. The standard tourist route now is the paid Visa on Arrival or e-VoA, with a visit visa for longer stays.
03
What is the e-Visa or e-VoA?
It is the official electronic system that lets eligible travellers pre-approve their visa online before flying, instead of only paying at the airport. The cost is broadly similar, with small online card and currency fees.
