Up-to-date fees, the tourism levy, long-stay options and compliance
A current, plain-English overview of how Bali visas work in 2026 — what the official fees are, which long-stay routes exist, how overstay penalties work, and how to stay on the right side of Indonesian immigration law.
Indonesia has steadily modernised its visa system, and 2026 brings a clear, settled picture for visitors to Bali. The Visa on Arrival and electronic e-VOA remain the simplest entry route at IDR 500,000 for a 30-day stay, extendable once. A separate Bali tourism levy of IDR 150,000 applies to every foreign tourist. Beyond short stays, a mature set of long-stay visas now covers remote workers, investors and those seeking a second home. As a licensed Bali visa concierge, part of Juara Holding Group, we keep this page current so you can plan with confidence.
The headline figures are stable and well established for 2026. The VOA and e-VOA fee sits at IDR 500,000 for a 30-day stay that can be extended once, and the Bali tourism levy of IDR 150,000 is now a routine part of arriving on the island. The most meaningful shift over recent years has been the maturing of long-stay options — particularly the remote-worker and digital-nomad routes — giving visitors clearer, lawful ways to stay for months rather than weeks.
The Visa on Arrival is the right choice for most short trips. You can buy it at the airport or, better, apply online beforehand as an e-VOA through the official immigration portal at evisa.imigrasi.go.id, where approval typically arrives within minutes to a few hours (and up to three business days during peak periods). The IDR 150,000 Bali tourism levy is paid separately through the official Love Bali system and is best settled online before you fly. Your passport should be valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date.
If you intend to stay for months, a long-stay visa is the compliant path. The Creator / Remote Worker visa suits those working remotely for overseas clients, while the Digital Nomad KITAS offers a renewable annual permit. Investors, second-home seekers and Golden Visa applicants each have a dedicated route, and after several years on a KITAS, permanent stay through a KITAP becomes possible. The table below summarises the main options, their codes, durations and indicative from-prices.
Overstaying your permitted stay carries a daily fine — commonly around IDR 1,000,000 per day — and longer overstays risk more serious consequences at departure. The simplest safeguard is to extend in good time: the VOA extension is straightforward when started early, and long-stay visas remove the deadline pressure altogether. We track your dates and handle extensions before they fall due, so a missed deadline never becomes a problem.
Indonesian immigration is governed primarily by Law No. 6 of 2011 on Immigration (UU No. 6/2011) and its implementing regulations, including Minister of Law and Human Rights Regulation No. 26 of 2020 (Permenkumham No. 26/2020). Compliance means holding the correct visa for your purpose, respecting its conditions, and reporting where required. We translate these rules into clear, practical steps and keep your case aligned with current requirements from application through to extension or conversion.
