Citizens of some countries can get to Bali by buying a ticket and boarding a plane. And, yes, you do need to be fully vaccinated if you’re over 18.

We discussed all visa issues with Marina

Visa Agency by Flado Indonesia:

Hello. Visa on arrival to Bali is available starting from April 6, 2022. It is necessary to have a ticket from Indonesia within the first 30 days, because extension in this case is not counted. After extending your visa, you must leave the country. You can, for example, fly for one day to Kuala Lumpur and then return.

Marina:

Is the visa on arrival $35?

Visa Agency by Flado Indonesia:

Right. This is 500.000 IDR ~ 35 USD. Pay this amount at the airport in cash or by card.
By the way, in our agency you can pre-arrange an electronic visa on arrival (e-VOA). You will skip the queue at the airport and get an online extension.

Marina:

Is insurance required? Where do you recommend to do it?

Visa Agency by Flado Indonesia:

You can choose your own travel policy for the dates you need.

Marina:

What do I need to do to extend my visa on arrival for a month?

Visa Agency by Flado Indonesia:

As soon as you arrive, bring your passport to our office, 800.000 IDR for extension (~55 USD). It’s better to start right away. The regular visa extension lasts 1-2 weeks.

Marina:

My actions:
1) take out insurance;
3) take a ticket from Indonesia a few days before the end of the month;
4) pay $35 at the airport;
5) a few days after arrival contact us and send your passport photo and selfie;
6) on the 59th-60th day, fly out of the country for 1-2 days;
7) upon arrival (when I arrive for the second time) is the procedure the same?

Visa Agency by Flado Indonesia:

Right.

Marina:

A few days after arrival, is it better to immediately send a passport and selfie and do payment?
What’s next? Do I need to make an appointment in advance?

Visa Agency by Flado Indonesia:

There is no need to make appointment, as soon as we receive an invitation from immigration to take biometrics, we will inform you, a letter will be sent to your email. After giving the fingerprints you will get new stay permit the same day.
P.S. If you buy an e-VOA, you can do online visa extension, but any way you will be invited for biometry. Submit your e-VOA application to our application portal.

Marina:

Thanks for answers. All clear. 🙏🏻

Marina:

One more question. Is it possible to issue another visa and travel longer?

Visa Agency by Flado Indonesia:

In this case, there is a tourist visa with index C1 (ex B211A). It must be obtained in advance. Usually the issue takes 6-10 business days, but it can take 5. This visa is already for 180 days with all extensions and after that you can get a new long visa without leaving Bali.

Marina:

Interesting. Perhaps I will alternate between visa on arrival and C1 in the future. Thank you again.
