A Graceful Arrival: Everything You Need to Know About Getting Your Bali Visa
April 30, 2025

Long before you arrive in Bali—long before the ocean breeze greets your skin or the first offering catches your eye—there’s a detail worth tending to with intention: your visa. While The Bali Manor Collection welcomes you into a world of tranquil beauty, your journey begins with the quiet simplicity of preparation. And one of the most elegant ways to begin is by arranging your visa before you land.
Visa on Arrival vs. e-VOA: What’s the Difference?
Most international travelers can enter Bali using a Visa on Arrival (VOA), available at Ngurah Rai International Airport for approximately IDR 500,000 (about USD 35). While it’s simple and accessible, it often means waiting in line after a long-haul flight—an experience that can feel at odds with the ease you’re seeking.
Enter the e-VOA (electronic Visa on Arrival)—a seamless digital alternative that allows you to begin your Bali experience with calm and clarity. Applied for in advance, this visa is processed online and approved within days, allowing you to skip the airport queue entirely.
How to Apply for Your e-VOA
Visit molina.imigrasi.go.id, the official Indonesian immigration site. The process is simple:
-
Create an account and complete the online form.
-
Upload a clear passport scan and travel details.
-
Pay the IDR 500,000 fee via a secure online portal.
-
Receive your approved visa by email—ready to present upon arrival.
Your e-VOA is valid for 30 days, with a one-time extension option for an additional 30 days. It’s ideal for travelers seeking a more refined and effortless entry experience.
Who is Eligible?
As of now, over 80 nationalities are eligible for the e-VOA. This includes travelers from the US, Canada, UK, most of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Japan, and more. You can verify your country’s eligibility directly on the Molina portal.
Why Apply in Advance?
✧ Skip the airport lines – Begin your stay without the stress.
✧ Streamline your journey – Fewer touchpoints, less paperwork.
✧ Feel welcome, not rushed – You’ll breeze through immigration and into your car, where a cool towel and a warm smile await.
A Visa for Every Stay
While the e-VOA suits most vacation travelers, Indonesia also offers:
— Tourist Visa B211A: For stays longer than 60 days, retreats, or digital nomads. Best applied through an agency or visa facilitator. — Multiple Entry Visa: For frequent travelers with professional ties or long-term plans in Indonesia.
Our concierge team at The Bali Manor Collection is happy to guide you to the appropriate visa should your stay be longer or more involved.
Final Thoughts: Let Your Arrival Reflect Your Destination
Bali is a place of grace. From temple offerings to gentle smiles, everything here unfolds with intention. Let your arrival reflect that same care. By arranging your visa in advance, you step into the island’s rhythm not with hurry, but with harmony.
And when you arrive in Cemagi, you’ll be greeted not with queues and questions, but with the sound of the sea, the softness of the breeze, and the peaceful welcome of The Bali Manor Collection—where your escape begins the moment you arrive.
