Do Australians need a visa for Bali?

Yes. Bali is part of Indonesia, so you need an e-VOA or a visa on arrival (IDR 500,000, 30 days). On top of that, Bali charges a tourist levy of IDR 150,000 per person per trip.

How early should I apply for the e-VOA?

Smartraveller says to apply at least 48 hours before you travel. If you miss that, you can get the visa on arrival instead.

Can I extend my visa on arrival in Indonesia?

Yes, once, for up to 30 more days, at an Immigration Office in Indonesia. The Yogyakarta Immigration Office lists the extension fee as IDR 500,000.

How many blank passport pages do Australians need?

Smartraveller does not say. The UK and US governments advise 2 blank pages and Canada at least one; we found no Indonesian official figure, so keep 2 free to be safe.

Visa rules for a tourist visit

Smartraveller, the Australian Government's travel advice, says you can apply for an e-VOA online at least 48 hours before you travel, or get a visa on arrival (VOA) when you land. Australia is on the eligible list on Indonesia's official e-VOA page.

Smartraveller and Indonesia's official e-VOA page both give the fee as IDR 500,000 (the e-VOA page shows no date; checked 27 Oct 2026). Smartraveller adds that the e-VOA has a small online processing fee but does not state the amount. The visa is single entry, and the e-VOA page lists a visa validity of 90 days.

How long you can stay

The visa is valid for a 30-day stay. Smartraveller says you can extend it once, for up to 30 more days.

You apply for the extension at an Immigration Office while you are in Indonesia. The Yogyakarta Immigration Office says the fee is IDR 500,000, that you can apply from 14 days before your stay expires, and that the total stay comes to 60 days (page posted 24 Aug 2022, updated 4 Nov 2025).

What to have ready

A passport with at least 6 months' validity from your planned entry and exit dates, as Smartraveller puts it. Indonesian regulation counts the 6 months from the date of arrival. If you travel on an Australian emergency passport, Smartraveller says it needs at least 12 months' validity when you enter Indonesia.
Blank pages: Smartraveller does not say how many you need, and the other official sources disagree. The UK and US governments say 2, the Government of Canada says at least one, and we found no Indonesian official figure, so have at least 2 free.
A return ticket. Smartraveller does not mention one, but Indonesia's e-VOA page advises carrying a printed return ticket because an officer may ask for it.
The visa fee of IDR 500,000, plus the small processing fee if you apply online.
If you visit Bali, the tourist levy of IDR 150,000 per person (Smartraveller and the Bali Provincial Government), paid once per trip, cashless, online through Love Bali or at the counters at Bali's airport and port.

The arrival form

You also need All Indonesia, the official arrival declaration that combines immigration, customs and health questions. It is free and mandatory, you fill it in within the 72 hours before you arrive, and we have a separate page that walks you through it.

Recent and upcoming changes

The Bali tourist levy is set by Bali Provincial Regulation No. 2 of 2025, which amends Regulation No. 6 of 2023, and by Governor Regulation No. 25 of 2025.
