A1 — Visa exemption
Free entry for up to 30 days. It is not extendable and cannot be converted into KITAS or a Bridging Visa. Select a different entry route before arriving if plans may exceed 30 days.
Choosing an Indonesia visa
There is no separate Bali visa. The right Indonesian entry permission depends on your passport, travel purpose, length of stay and whether you will enter more than once. First check your nationality, then compare the options below.
Before travelling, compare visa-free entry, Visa on Arrival, tourist visas, multiple-entry visas and KITAS. Visa codes and eligibility are explained below.

Main options, without the jargon
B1 — Visa on Arrival / e-VOA
30 days initially, with one possible 30-day extension. Eligible passport holders can arrange e-VOA before travel or, at selected checkpoints, obtain VOA on arrival.
C1 — Single-entry tourist visa
60 days initially, normally extendable twice by 60 days (up to 180 days). Appropriate for a longer holiday; leaving Indonesia ends this single-entry permission.
D1 — Multiple-entry tourist visa
Repeated tourist visits over a 1-, 2- or 5-year visa period. Each visit starts with a separate 60-day stay, ordinarily extendable twice; it is not uninterrupted residence.
D12 — Multiple-entry pre-investment
For genuine pre-investment activity, not an alternative tourist visa. The initial stay can reach 180 days. A further extension of up to 180 days may be possible when supporting documents and immigration requirements are met.
E33G — Remote Worker KITAS
A one-year limited-stay route for eligible people working remotely for a business outside Indonesia, renewable when the requirements are met. Qualifying spouses and children may apply separately under family/dependent categories (including E31B and E31E).
Business, employment and other purposes
Business visits may require B2, C2 or D2. Employment requires an appropriate work/residence route (such as E23), investment may involve E28A, and other E visas cover family, study and retirement. Tourist entry does not authorise working for an Indonesian employer.

Travel documents and non-standard passports
If you travel with a Travel Document rather than an ordinary national passport — such as a 1951 Convention Refugee Travel Document, a 1954 Convention Stateless Person Travel Document, Certificate of Identity (COI), Alien’s Passport, Titre de Voyage, UN Laissez-Passer, Re-entry Permit, emergency or temporary passport, or humanitarian travel document — eligibility for A1 visa exemption or B1/eVOA cannot be assumed based on the issuing country. Some documents require additional verification before a visa can be issued. Indonesia visas for Travel Document holders.
Visa validity ≠ permitted days of stay
B1 and C1 generally have a 90-day window for first entry after issuance; always read the date on your visa. A D1 multiple-entry visa may be valid for 1, 2 or 5 years, and D12 generally for 1 or 2 years, but this does not mean you can stay continuously for that period. Each entry has its own permitted stay. Check the “Must Be Used Before” date and your ITK expiry. You can extend your ITK (visa stay permit) online after entering Indonesia through Flado. The arrival day counts as Day 1 of your stay.
Extensions and switching to KITAS — just the essentials
B1 can normally be extended once; C1/D1 twice. A qualifying change from B1 to a residence category may involve a transitional/Bridging procedure. Some C/D stay permits may permit direct ITK-to-ITAS conversion, depending on sponsor, eligibility and current rules. Bridging is not automatically another 60-day tourist extension. Start any case check before the current permit expires.

Quick questions before you travel
If I use an autogate, can I later extend my free 30 days?
No, not if Immigration admitted you on A1. Even travellers eligible to buy B1 cannot convert an already-issued A1 entry into an extendable B1 stay. Confirm your actual entry status.
Can I stay 60 days on B1 without extending?
No. B1 initially permits 30 days; the additional 30 days require an approved extension.
Does a 5-year D1 mean five years of continuous residence?
No. It permits multiple entries during the stated validity; each visit has a separate limited stay.
Can I use C1 or D1 and then change to KITAS?
In some cases, yes, subject to a compatible visa purpose, guarantor and formal immigration approval. Check your proposed route before applying.
Can my family join me on E33G?
Potentially. Eligible spouses and minor children may qualify for separate family/dependent KITAS, including E31B/E31E.
Can I work locally on a tourist visa?
No. Tourist permission does not authorise employment in Indonesia.
What should I prepare to enter?
For standard visitor travel, usually a passport valid for at least six months, the correct entry permission, an onward ticket when required, and the free All Indonesia arrival declaration. Bali has a separate tourist levy for those to whom it applies.
