There are a lot of rumours circulating that as of 18th July 2022 it is necessary to have received a booster of the COVID-19 vaccination. These rumours are not correct.
You can read the current regulations here in Indonesian or here in unofficial English translation. These state that it is still only necessary to have received your second vaccination at least 14 days prior to travel. The Indonesian government has not updated their policy on what counts as fully vaccinated so it is still two shots of Moderna or Astrazenica or one shot of the single dose vaccines such as Johnson & Johnson.
How to travel to Bali in 2022
There are a number of ways you can now enjoy a holiday, extended travel or work in Bali.
The first time you do your Bali visa extension you will need to go to immigration to have your fingerprints and photograph taken. This applies to people with the following visas:
How long before expiry do I need to start the Bali visa extension process?
For those with B211a, B211b and VOA you will need to give us your passport and fee 7 days before your visa expires.
To extend a KITAS you will need to go for fingerprints and photos when the KITAS has already been applied for so it is late in the process and we will let you know with at least 1 week's notice when you need to go.
Do I have to got for fingerprints and photographs for every extension?
No. You only need to visit immigration so they can take your fingerprints and photograph the first time you extend your visa. For future extensions you just need to give your passport and the fee to our agents in the Visa Agency Bali Berawa office and we will process the extension entirely for you.
What is the price of a Bali tourist visa extension?
The extension for B211a & B211b onshore and offshore visas is 60 days and the price is IDR 2,750,000.
For the B211 visas you can get the 60 day extension twice. For the VOA you can get the 30 day extension once.
When will I need to go to Bali immigration for fingerprinting?
We will tell you the appointment time to visit immigration. It is usually 7 days after you submit your passport to us for the extension. It will be at Jimbaran or Denpasar immigration office depending on your address in Bali, and we will inform you which office to go to. If you have plans to travel around Indonesia or the island of Bali please let us know so we can make the appointment on the appropriate day.
What are the steps for fingerprinting at Bali immigration?
Before your appointment, we will send you your billing by WhatsApp. Please bring this with you and take the following steps:
Arrive at the Immigration office we told you of 10 minutes before your appointment time
Go to the Customer Service counter and show your billing, you will get a queue number
Wait until your number or your name is called by the officer and come to the fingerprint room
Have your photo and fingerprints taken and give your queue number to the officer who will stamp and sign it
Take a picture of your stamp and signed queue number and send it to us via WhatsApp
When you have had your fingerprints taken, you can leave the Immigration office and we will text you when your visa extension is done.
How long does a Bali visa extension take?
From start to finish the process is usually around 2 weeks. 1 week prior to fingerprinting and then 1 week until you will get your passport back. If you need it faster we can do express service for an additional IDR 1,000,000. If you need to travel around Indonesia it is possible with another form of official ID and a photocopy of your passport.

On 4th March 2022, exciting new Indonesia immigration regulations were released for foreigners travelling to Bali, Indonesia. We have translated the key information into English at the bottom of this post.
This blog post includes information on:
Who can get Visa on Arrival
Rules of a Visa on Arrival
How to get Visa on Arrival
How to extend your Visa on Arrival

It is now possible for travellers from 23 countries to get a Visa on Arrival in Bali! You can buy this at the airport and the price is IDR 500k. The visa is valid for 30 days (including the day of arrival) and can be extended for a further 30 days for IDR 800k.
Once you have extended your VoA it is not possible to apply for an additional visa in Indonesia. You must leave the country before your visa expires or face paying overstay of IDR 1,000,000 per day.
Countries that can get VOA for Bali in March 2022
If you are a citizen of one of the following 23 countries you can get a Visa on Arrival in Bali.
How to Get a Visa on Arrival When You Land in Bali
To be able to obtain a VoA for Bali you will need:
To be a citizen of one of the countries listed above.
Your passport has to be valid for at least 6 (six) months after entry date.
A return ticket or a one-way ticket to continue the journey to another country.
Evidence of having taken full dose COVID-19 vaccination and verified on e-HAC
A negative RT-PCR test (taken within 48 hours of departure)
Minimum 4-day hotel booking at CHSE certified hotel (more details below)
Proof of health/travel insurance that handles COVID with minimum coverage USD 20,000
Having these documents will allow you to board your flight to Bali.
Once you arrive in Bali you will need to go to have your temperature checked and take a PT-PCR test.
You can then proceed to the Visa on Arrival counter at the airport where you can purchase your VoA.
You can then go to the immigration counters for inspection of immigration and customs documents to enter Bali, Indonesia.
Next, you can pick up your baggage, proceed through customs and be transferred directly to your hotel where you will await your PCR test results in your room.
Details of CSHE Certified Hotels for Your First 4 Days in Bali
You can find a list of the 64 Government approved hotels here. You have to have a paid-for booking at one of these hotels to obtain the VoA. By booking one of these hotels you will also have airport pick up and PCR tests arranged for you.
You will receive the results of the PCR test you took upon arrival at your hotel within 3-6 hours.
If your PCR test is positive you will be transferred to an isolation hotel or hospital depending on your symptoms.
How is this Different from Quarantine?
Provided your PCR test on arrival is negative, you will be able to roam Bali during your 4-day booking. You must be back at your hotel on day 3 for your 2nd PCR test.
How to Extend Your Visa on Arrival in Bali
If you would like to stay for longer than the initial 30 day validity of your VoA, bring your passport to our office 1 week before your visa expires. We will submit your visa extension and then approx 7 days later we will let you know when your appointment is at immigration to be photographed and fingerprinted. You will get your passport back around 5 days later.
Get in touch if you would like to know more about your VoA extension.
If Your Country is NOT on the List for Visa on Arrival to Bali...
If you are not a citizen of one of the 23 countries where VoA is available, you will need to get a B211 tourist visa. We have detailed everything you need to know about the B211 visa here.
You will still need to book a 3 day stay at a CSHE certified hotel, as detailed above.
Want to Stay in Bali Longer Than 60 Days?
If there is a chance you would like to stay in Bali for longer than 60 days and leaving the country and returning again would not be an option for you, then it is safer to get the B211 visa. If you extend this the maximum amount of times, the total validity will be 180 days.

If you received your COVID-19 vaccination outside of Indonesia, it is now possible to have it validated through vaksinln.dto.kemkes.go.id. This is not a requirement to enter Indonesia but is necessary to travel domestically within Indonesia.
Below is a step by step guide for using the Indonesia coronavirus vaccination verification website vaksinln.dto.kemkes.go.id.
Yesterday (13th October 2021) a new decree was released by Law and Human Rights Minister Yasonna H. Laoly regarding the types of activities foreigners are allowed to do on various visa types.
The decree states three new specified activities are now permissible under the visas. These activities are:
Tourism and filmmaking as a visit visa activity with visa index B211A (offshore visa.)
Making commercial films and, having obtained permission from the competent authority, as limited stay visa activity with visa index C312 (Study KITAS, sponsored by a university.)
Attending educational activities as a limited stay visa activity with visa index C316 (KITAS.)
Single-entry Visitor Visa (B211A)
It is very important to know that this type of visa cannot be used to work in Indonesia, yet can be applied for to carry out the following activities:
Tourism
Family
Social
Arts and culture
Duties of government
Non-commercial sports
Comparative studies, short courses, and short training
Conduct business talks
Make purchases of goods
Give lectures or attend seminars
Participate in international exhibitions

Continue to travel to other countries;
Join transportation means in Indonesia
Filming
Join the means of transportation in Indonesia
Visits for the development of the marina industry (yachters)
Aid workers, medical, and food support
The visa requirements remain the same and we have explained them in detail here.
Until this week, there has been a lack of clarity on what is required for children who are 12 years old and under to travel to Bali, Indonesia.
We are happy to inform you that as long as the child is travelling with their parent, they do not have to follow the same stringent rules to obtain the B211 offshore visa.
Children who are 12 years old and under are not required to be vaccinated. They can instead have a letter from their doctor declaring them healthy and free from COVID-19 symptoms. We have an example of this letter available to our clients upon request.
For more information on requirements for the B211 Offshore Visa, take a look at this post.
For adults, the requirements for the B211 offshore visa are detailed below:
Why did some people only ask me for a copy of my passport and proof of vaccine?
Do I really need to provide my flight booking details?
Can I use a letter from my doctor instead of a PCR test for the visa application?
Do I really need to organise my travel insurance now?
We understand why a lot of people are confused by the application process for the B211 Offshore Visa. Some of the requirements don't seem necessary at the application stage. So today we are explaining why we ask for the documents we require.
This is a list of the documents we need for the B211 offshore visa application:
We ask for these because each one is required by the immigration regulations and the visa application system. There is no way to submit the application without uploading all of these documents.
The image below shows the application page for the B211 Offshore Visa. We have marked the documents required for the B211 Offshore Visa application with the red line. If these documents are not uploaded, it is not possible to click ‘Done & Send’ to submit the application.
But, in some cases, there are alternative options, which we explain below.
Overall, something needs to be uploaded for each of the requirements on the list that we have marked with the red line. But...
*** Instead of a negative PCR test, it is possible to upload a letter from your doctor stating you are healthy with no signs of COVID-19.
*** If you are unable to get the vaccine for medical reasons, we can upload a letter from your doctor detailing the medical reasons.
It is important to understand that if the person helping with your visa application does not ask you for everything that is marked on this list, they will be uploading a document that is not genuine in its place.
As a result of these practices, we have heard of cases where people who are not our clients had problems using their visa. Some were turned away by immigration in Jakarta because the information from their application did not match their situation. Others were not allowed to board the plane as they did not have an onwards ticket.
We want to ensure all our clients arrive in Indonesia safely and without stress and hassle. We follow the regulations exactly to make sure our clients can travel with confidence and security.
To apply for your visa for Bali, Indonesia, check out this post where we explain everything you need to do.

You can book your flight all the way to Bali, or to Jakarta then get a domestic flight to Bali.
You will also need a return or onward flight booking showing you intend to leave Indonesia within 180 days of arriving. This can just be a booking, it doesn’t need to be a paid for ticket. It can be to any country.

Entering Indonesia in 2021
Many airlines have additional requirements at this time. We have detailed them below. Please print everything out and have it with you when you travel.
1. 5 days quarantine in Jakarta
You are required to do 5 days quarantine in Jakarta. There is a selection of hotels to choose from for your quarantine which you can book through this link.
2. Negative COVID test result
This is needed by airlines and Indonesian immigration. It needs to be a PCR test with a QR code and has to be done within 3 days of when you will land in Indonesia.
3. Proof of COVID-19 Vaccine
Needs to be a full dose vaccine. If you cannot take the vaccine we need a letter from your doctor stating the medical reason why you cannot have the vaccine.
4. Onwards flight
Like before COVID, many airlines will check you have an onward flight when checking you in, to ensure you don’t overstay your visa. These don’t have to be a return ticket, just one showing a journey outside of Indonesia. Make sure it is within 180 days of you landing in Indonesia. It may be fitting for you to get a flexible or refundable ticket.
5. Download and fill in your details with the E-HAC app
You will need to have downloaded the E-HAC app from Apple or Google and fill in the details of your journey ready to show the QR code to Indonesia immigration in Jakarta.
6. Immigration questions
You may be asked what the purpose is of your visit to Indonesia. Please check with us so you know who your sponsor is etc.
Key Facts about the B211 Visa
The initial visa validity is 60 days.
You can then extend the visa 4 x for 30 days each time, so the maximum visa validity is 180 days (these days include the day you land and leave.)
Each extension needs to be applied for at least 4 business days before your visa validity expires and costs IDR 800k.
If you leave Indonesia before your visa is expired, your visa will be voided and you will have to get a new one if you wish to return to Indonesia.
For the first extension, you will need to go to the immigration office to get fingerprinted and photographed. We have an agent at the office who will meet you and guide you through the process quickly.
After the first extension, all you will need to do is give us your passport and we will manage your future extensions for you.
You cannot work in Indonesia using this visa. If you would like to know more about living and working in Indonesia, do get in touch and we’ll talk you through the options.
We get asked this question a lot by Investor KITAS clients in Bali, Indonesia, who have a PT PMA Company.
With the Investor KITAS, you are allowed to manage your company in Indonesia.
Jobs you are permitted to do include:
Meetings with suppliers & staff
Staff training
Online marketing activities
Give talks & lectures
Manage the business finances
Negotiate large business deals
Visit the site of your business & potential new business locations
The Investor KITAS does not allow you to do manual work for your company.
Examples of work you cannot do:
Serve customers on a small scale. For instance, you cannot work at the cash register, serve food to tables or take orders
Teach a class, such as yoga, fitness or surfing
Perform at a venue, such as singing or playing an instrument in a band
Undertake manual marketing activities, such as doing product photography or setting up your stand at events
If the work you want to do in Bali, Indonesia, falls into these later categories, you will need a working KITAS rather than an Investor KITAS.
For more information on setting up a PT PMA company in Bali (required to sponsor an Investor KITAS), applying for the Investor KITAS, and the associated costs, take a look at our post here.
We also have a 6-month Impresariat KITAS available (relevant section: Lampiran I)for other roles, mainly revolving around the arts. Please check this blog post for more details.

Get in touch with us today to discuss how you can work under the Wisata Tirta KITAS in Bali, Indonesia.
At Visa Agency Bali we sometimes get asked why we ask for more documents for the B211 offshore visa application than some other agencies who only ask for a copy of your passport. Today we are going to explain why we do this.
Below is the list of documents we need, which are explained further in this blog post.
We ask for these because each one is required by the immigration regulations and the visa application system. There is no way to submit the application without all of these documents.
The images below show the application page for both the B211 Offshore Visa and the A211 Onshore Social Visa.
We have marked the documents required for the B211 Offshore Visa application with the red dot. If these documents are not uploaded, it is not possible to click 'Done & Send' to submit the application.
We have heard of cases where people who are not our clients had problems using their visa. Some were not allowed to board the plane as they did not have an onwards ticket. Others were turned away by immigration in Jakarta because the information from their application did not match their situation.
We want to ensure all our clients arrive in Indonesia safely and without stress and hassle. We follow the regulations exactly to make sure our clients can travel with confidence and security.
We are excited to announce that our agency is now able to help people wanting an Artist (Impresariat) KITAS.
The maximum duration for an Impresariat KITAS is 6 months. To process the visa takes 4 weeks with our standard service and 2 weeks with our express service.
The KITAS is only available onshore and the price is IDR12,500,000 for our standard 4-week service. You will also need to pay the visa fee (USD 150) and 6 months' tax (USD 600) upfront. If you have a company that will sponsor your visa the price is IDR 10,500,000. For both options, if you would like our 2 week express service, this will cost an additional IDR 3,000,000.
Get in touch with us today to discuss how you can work under the Impresariat KITAS in Bali, Indonesia.
If you have the correct visa it is now possible to enter Indonesia.
You can find the official immigration update below.
(It is not currently possible to apply for a visa to enter Indonesia. We hope that will be possible in March 2021. Follow us on Facebook for the latest updates. For information on applying for a B211 visa once it is available again, click here.)
We have helped hundreds of clients enter Indonesia on the B211 visa. The application process is pretty straightforward, as long as we have all the documents required by the official government regulations. Today we're taking you through the FAQ's we get asked about these documents so you can ready your application with confidence.
Offshore Visa B211 to Visit Indonesia
Visa Application FAQ's
1. Colour photocopy of your passport
We will need several photocopies of the key pages of your passport. This can also be a well-taken photo, rather than a photocopy.
We need a picture clearly showing:
the front & back cover of your passport (open your passport and place inside pages facing down so the image shows the front and back cover in one)
the page with your key information on it (photo, name, DOB, passport number, etc.)
the page with stamps from your last visit to Indonesia, if you have them
2. Bank statement showing sufficient funds
We will need a copy of your bank statement. This can be a picture or scan of your paper statement, a downloaded version from online banking, or a screenshot from online banking.
It needs to show your name on the account and that you have at least USD 1,500 in your account.
The bank can be based in any country, even if it is not your home country.
If the application is being made for someone under 18 years old, we can use the statement of the parent.
3. Flight booking
We need details of your flight booking to enter Indonesia for the visa application process.
We suggest you book your flight at least 14 days from when you have sent us all your documents and the fee (so we will have everything ready to submit your visa application.) We suggest you make a flexible booking. We are able to arrange a visa much quicker through our VIP service (even within the same day!) if it is needed urgently.
You can book your flight all the way to Bali, or to Jakarta then get a domestic flight to Bali.
You will also need a return or onward flight booking showing you intend to leave Indonesia within 180 days of arriving. This can just be a booking, it doesn't need to be a paid for ticket. It can be to any country.
4. Address
We will need your address in your home country, or the country you reside in, as well as the address you plan to stay in Bali. These can be AirBnB's or similar.
5. A valid negative Covid-19 test certificate provided with a readable QR code;
6. A Covid-19 vaccination certificate (completed doses);
7. Declaration letter and statement
We have drafted a declaration for you that you simply need to fill in your details, sign and send us a copy of. You can download the letter here.

You will need to get appropriate health or travel insurance to cover your stay in Indonesia and ensure the policies cover COVID. The easiest provider we have found is Safety Wing.

Entering Indonesia in 2021
Many airlines have additional requirements at this time. We have detailed them below. Please print everything out and have it with you when you travel.
1. 8 days quarantine in Jakarta
You are required to do 8 days quarantine in Jakarta. There are a selection of hotels to chose from for your quarantine. Please contact us for the up to date list.
2. Negative COVID test result
This is needed by airlines and Indonesian immigration. It needs to be a PCR test and has to be done within 7 days of when you will land in Indonesia.
3. Fit to fly letter
Many airlines are asking for a 'fit to fly' letter in addition to a negative COVID test result. You'll need to contact your airline in advance to check their regulations and requirements.
4. Onwards flight
Like before COVID, many airlines will check you have an onward flight when checking you in, to ensure you don't overstay your visa. These don't have to be a return ticket, just one showing a journey outside of Indonesia. Make sure it is within 180 days of you landing in Indonesia. It may be fitting for you to get a flexible or refundable ticket.
5. Download and fill in your details with the E-HAC app
You will need to have downloaded the E-HAC app from Apple or Google and fill in the details of your journey ready to show the QR code to Indonesia immigration in Jakarta.
6. Immigration questions
You may be asked what the purpose is of your visit to Indonesia. Please check with us so you know who your sponsor is etc.
Key Facts about the B211 Visa
The initial visa validity is 60 days.
You can then extend the visa 4 x for 30 days each time, so the maximum visa validity is 180 days (these days include the day you land and leave.)
Each extension needs to be applied for at least 4 business days before your visa validity expires and costs IDR 800k.
If you leave Indonesia before your visa is expired, your visa will be voided and you will have to get a new one if you wish to return to Indonesia.
For the first extension, you will need to go to the immigration office to get fingerprinted and photographed. We have an agent at the office to who will meet you and guide you through the process quickly.
After the first extension, all you will need to do is give us your passport and we will manage your future extensions for you.
You cannot work in Indonesia using this visa. If you would like to know more about living and working in Indonesia, do get in touch and we'll talk you through the options.
