Indonesia Visa Requirements for Indians 2026 – Complete Guide

Yes. The old visa-exemption rules have been abolished. Indian passport holders seeking entry into Bali, Jakarta, or any other Indonesian port must secure an official visa before or upon landing.

Indian citizens fall beautifully onto the approved Visa on Arrival (VoA) list, unlocking two primary pathways:

• The 30-Day VoA: Ideal for typical honeymoons or short vacations. It can be purchased electronically (e-VoA) or at the airport terminal. It is renewable once for a total of 60 days.
• The 180-Day B211A: The prime choice for remote workers or slow-traveling families wanting to stay for several months. Requires corporate sponsorship from an agency like PT Indonesian Visas.

The electronic Visa on Arrival entirely removes the need to queue at Denpasar Airport's immigration halls.

1. Access Molina (the official immigration portal).
2. Upload a flawless, reflection-free photo of your Indian Passport bio-data page (minimum 6 months validity).
3. Upload a formal passport-style portrait photo.
4. Pay 500,000 IDR (roughly ₹2,700 INR) via international credit card.
5. The approved eVisa PDF will hit your inbox, allowing you immediate access to airport Autogates upon landing.

Both primary visa types can be extended onshore without returning to India. A VoA extends once (+30 days). A B211A extends twice (+60 days each). Crucially, the extension process MUST begin 14 days before your current visa expires. Late extensions instantly result in overstay classification.

If purchasing a B211A to stay up to 6 months, Indian citizens are strictly prohibited from sponsoring themselves. The Directorate General of Immigration mandates a registered Indonesian company file a formal letter of guarantee containing the Indian traveler's name, declaring full responsibility for their behavior and financial viability while inside the country.

Unfortunately, the Indian market is frequently targeted by fake visa 'agents' operating exclusively via WhatsApp. These scammers charge ₹25,000 for a B211A and simply vanish or provide forged PDF documents that result in your immediate deportation upon arrival. Only use verified agencies like PT Indonesian Visas Agency with established corporate credentials (NIB, AHU).

While COVID-19 insurance mandates are gone, riding scooters in Bali is inherently risky. We fiercely recommend securing comprehensive Indian travel insurance (like TATA AIG or Bajaj Allianz) that specifically covers two-wheeler accidents. Healthcare in Bali for uninsured foreigners is catastrophically expensive.
