Bali visa for Indians (VOA and e-Visa) — practical guide for 2025

Indian passport holders do need a visa to visit Indonesia (Bali). You can obtain a Visa on Arrival (VOA) at major entry points including Ngurah Rai (Denpasar) or apply in advance for an electronic VOA / e-Visa.
Apply it through VISA2FLY website - https://visa2fly.com/

Typical VOA stay: 30 days (single entry), generally extendable one time for another 30 days through local immigration procedures (rules can vary). Fee commonly around IDR 500,000 (about USD 30–35) for VOA/e-VOA — official sites list the fee in rupiah.

e-Visa / e-VOA: applying online before travel reduces queues and is recommended; the official Indonesian e-Visa portal is the authoritative application channel. Processing times vary (often a few days).
