Traveler FAQs
What's the difference between a Visa on Arrival (VoA) and an e-VoA?
A Visa on Arrival (VoA) is purchased when you land at the airport in Indonesia. An e-VoA is the same visa, but you apply and pay for it online before you travel. Getting an e-VoA beforehand can save you significant time in immigration queues upon arrival. For a streamlined application, our partner can assist with the e-VoA process.
Can I extend my tourist visa while in Bali?
Yes, the 30-day Visa on Arrival (both regular and electronic) can be extended once for an additional 30 days. This must be done at an immigration office in Indonesia. The process involves submitting documents and biometrics. It can be time-consuming, which is why many travelers use an agent to handle it.
How long does the online visa application process take?
Processing time for an e-VoA through the official government website can vary. While it's often quick (within a few days), it can sometimes face delays or technical issues. Using a reliable service can ensure your application is submitted correctly and often results in faster, more predictable processing times.
What happens if I overstay my visa?
Overstaying your visa in Indonesia is a serious offense. There is a daily fine for each day you overstay (currently IDR 1,000,000 per day). For significant overstays, you could face deportation and be blacklisted from re-entering the country. It is crucial to track your visa dates carefully.
What is the best time of year to visit Bali?
The best time to visit Bali is during the dry season, from April to October. This period offers sunny days and less humidity, perfect for beach activities and exploring. July and August are the peak season, with higher prices and more crowds.
