• Passport must be valid at least 6 months

• Pay $35 (or IDR 500,000)

• Provide return ticket or ticket to continue traveling to other country

• Go to immigration counter and show your passport with the receipt (there is a separate queue for VoA, which is faster!)

Can I enter Bali if my country is not on the list?

If your country is not on this list, you are not allowed to enter with a VoA. But you still can arrive in Bali with another type of visa.

• Apply for tourist or business visa B211 in advance in your home country or other country outside Indonesia
  
  
• Single-entry eVisa B211 is valid for 60 days and can be extended 2-times in 60 days each time. The date of issue is the first day the visa is valid
  
  
• Visa application is submitted online, which means you don’t need to visit the embassy
  
  
• For visa application, you need to provide 2 doses vaccination certificate. Indonesia recognizes all available vaccines in the world
  
  
• After getting your visa, you can buy a ticket directly to Bali. Get a return ticket or ticket to a third country. For a B211A visa, a ticket is required no later than 59 days after entering Indonesia
