Visa on Arrival (VOA): This option is available for citizens of 92 countries, including Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan.

Business and Tourist Visas for Bali B211

Here it is important to separately highlight the E-B211 e-visa and the offshore B211 visa.

E-B211 e-visa

This visa is applied for online and takes 3 working days to process. It allows for a stay in Indonesia for up to 60 days. This visa cannot be extended, and upon its expiration, it is necessary to leave the country.

The E-B211 visa is suitable for those who want to stay in Indonesia for 1 to 2 months without having to think about extensions.

Offshore B211 visa

These visas are issued for a period of 60 days with the possibility of two extensions (each for 60 days). The extensions are done within Indonesia at local immigration offices. Such visas are obtained through online visa agencies since an Indonesian sponsor is required for the process. The visa is issued in electronic form, so there is no need to visit a consulate! The cost of obtaining a tourist visa starts from $320 and depends on how quickly you want to receive the visa (3 to 10 days). Tourist visa: Visa for tourism purposes Business visas: Visa for business negotiations Pay attention to a few important points: The visa is single-entry, meaning it becomes invalid when leaving Indonesia.

For a child, a visa must be applied for separately and follows the same procedure (full cost applies).

Multiple-entry Business visa D212

This visa is valid for 1 year and cannot be extended. It allows for multiple entries and exits from Indonesia. However, there is a condition: you can only stay in the country for a maximum of 60 days at a time, after which you must leave. You can return to Indonesia at any time, and with each entry, the 60-day countdown starts anew.

The cost of obtaining a multiple-entry visa starts from $370, and the process takes 3 to 10 days.

For visa processing, we recommend the trusted agency Legal Indonesia (they also have a recommendation from Bali Forum).

The company takes care of the complete document processing, pays the consular fee, and all administrative charges. Therefore, upon arrival at the airport, you will not need to pay anything extra.

What COVID-19 restrictions are still in place for entering the country?

For travel to Indonesia, a certificate of full vaccination against Covid-19 is still required (two doses or one dose of a single-component vaccine).

Any vaccine approved in your country is accepted. A minimum of 14 days must have passed since receiving the full vaccination.

The validity period of the certificate is not important. Even if you obtained it two years ago, you can present it.

In case of a medical exemption, a doctor's certificate in English with a signature and stamp is required.

Passengers who have symptoms of COVID-19 (such as a fever) upon arrival at the airport need to undergo PCR testing and wait for the results in their hotel room. Until the test result is received, it is prohibited to leave the room and have contact with anyone. If the test result is positive, the traveler will need to undergo quarantine until a negative test result is obtained. Testing is also required for travelers with a medical exemption.

The same testing conditions apply to children under 18 as to the accompanying adults (if the adult does not require testing, the child does not need to be tested either). For domestic travel within Indonesia by air, land, or water transportation, PCR tests are no longer required. However, travelers aged 18 and above need a booster (third) dose of COVID-19 vaccination, while children aged 6 to 17 need two doses.
