Bali, which is a popular tourist destination in Indonesia, offers a visa on arrival (VOA) option for travelers from many countries. This visa allows travelers to stay in Bali for up to 30 days, and it can be extended once for an additional 30 days.

To obtain a Bali visa on arrival, travelers must have a passport that is valid for at least six months from the date of arrival, and they must have a return or onward ticket. Travelers must also pay a fee for the visa, which can be paid in cash (in USD, IDR or other major currencies) at the immigration counter upon arrival.

The VOA is available for citizens of more than 160 countries, including the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and most countries in Europe. However, it’s important to note that the VOA is not available for citizens of some countries, including Nigeria, Ghana, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, among others.

If you plan to stay in Bali for more than 30 days, you will need to apply for a visa extension at the immigration office in Bali. Alternatively, you can apply for a tourist visa before you arrive in Bali, which allows you to stay in Indonesia for up to 60 days and can also be extended once for an additional 30 days.

Before Covid, there was no visa on arrival fee for Bali, however, post covid there is a fee of 35 USD per adult for 30 days visa.
