Bali Visa for Indians
Indian passport holders are eligible for Indonesia’s Visa on Arrival (VOA), including the electronic Visa on Arrival (e-VOA), for eligible tourism visits. The standard VOA is valid for 30 days and can be extended once for another 30 days. The current government fee for the 30-day VOA is IDR 500,000. A regular Visa on Arrival can also be obtained at the airport if you prefer to arrange your visa after landing, although this may involve waiting in the VOA payment queue.
For travellers booking our Bali Tour Packages, Duniya Safari includes the e-VOA cost in the package, allowing the visa to be arranged before your journey. With an e-VOA already obtained, travellers can proceed to immigration on arrival without needing to visit the separate VOA payment counter.
