Bali Visa for Indians

Tourist/Social and Cultural Visit Visa

If a person is travelling for the purpose of tourism, he or she can apply for a tourist visa.
There are three different types of tourist visas that can be availed. They are:

1. Tourist visa for stay less than 30 days: As an Indian citizen if the person stays for less than 30 days, he or she does not require a visa. Instead at the immigration counter the applicant will receive a visa extension stamp that will track the number of days he or she stays in Bali. The good thing about the visa extension stamp is that it acts in the same way a normal visa does and is free of cost. The point to note here is that this tourist visa cannot be extended beyond 30 days.
2. Tourist/Social and Cultural visa for stay between 30 and 60 days: There are two different visas that the applicant can apply for when he or she visit for a period of 30-60 days although the visit must be regarding tourism or social purposes. The two visas are:
   1. Visa on arrival: As an Indian citizen if the applicant wants to visit Indonesia for a period of 30-60 days, he or she needs to obtain a visa on arrival. Recently the Indonesian government has waived the fee for getting a visa on arrival but still some people pay the amount for visa. They do this so that they can extend the tourist visa from 30 days to a maximum of 60 days.
   2. Social and cultural visit visa: For social or a cultural visit to Bali, an Indian citizen needs to apply for a B-211 visa. The social/cultural visit visa is valid for a period of 60 days. The visa holder can extend the period for which the visa is valid as well although a sponsor letter is required for this.
   3. Staying for a period longer than 60 days: To stay for a period more than 60 days, the applicant has to apply for an extension through the Indonesian immigration services as the maximum period for which Indonesia issues a tourist visa is 60 days.
