What is the difference between the tourist visas (E-VOA, VOA) that can be applied for when traveling to Bali?

E-VOA can be applied for online in advance, allowing a stay of 30 or 60 days, and offers fast entry through electronic immigration gates. VOA, on the other hand, is applied for locally upon arrival at Bali Airport, allows only a 30-day stay, and has the disadvantage of requiring you to queue.

How much does the Bali E-VOA (Electronic Visa On Arrival) cost per person?

The cost of the Bali E-VOA is 500,000 Indonesian Rupiah (IDR), and including card processing fees, the total is 519,500 IDR. This is approximately ~$31 (as of 2026).

What is the official website address to apply for the Bali E-VOA?

The Bali E-VOA must be applied for on the official Indonesian visa website: https://evisa.imigrasi.go.id/. When searching on Google, there are many agency sites or fake sites, so it is essential to use the official website.

How much time can I save during immigration clearance at Bali Airport if I apply for the Bali E-VOA in advance?

If you apply for the Bali E-VOA in advance, you can use the electronic immigration gates upon arrival at the airport without having to queue. This allows you to pass through immigration in approximately 20 seconds, saving a significant amount of time.
