Indians need to apply online for an e-Visa for Bali (Indonesia) before travelling; processing usually takes 1–3 working days and costs about ₹3,700. Visa on arrival is also available.
Indian passport holders need a visa to enter Bali, but getting one is simple. You can apply online for the Indonesia e-Visa on Arrival (e-VOA) before you fly, or pay for a Visa on Arrival (VoA) at the airport counter. The fee is the same either way: IDR 500,000 (about ₹3,700) per person. The visa allows a 30-day stay, can be extended once by another 30 days, and is single entry. You also need to pay a separate Bali tourist levy of IDR 150,000 (about ₹850). Most travellers choose the e-VOA because it saves time at immigration.
To apply, keep your passport (valid 6+ months), return or onward ticket and hotel booking ready. Apply on the official e-Visa website, pay by card, and download your approval. Then fill in the All Indonesia arrival declaration within 3 days before landing, and pay the Bali levy on the Love Bali portal. Carry printed copies and some cash as backup. Don’t overstay, because the fine is IDR 1,000,000 per day. Rules and fees can change, so check the official Indonesia immigration website before you travel.
