As we move through 2026, Bali’s position as a global destination for tourism, investment, and remote lifestyles remains firmly established. The era of casual, last-minute arrangements is being replaced by a more structured system.
Before travelling to Bali in 2026, every foreign visitor must meet a set of non-negotiable entry requirements. These cover passport validity, the correct visa, the online arrival card (e-ECD), the Bali Tourist Levy, proof of onward travel, and proof of sufficient funds.
Bali offers a spectrum of visa options ranging from short-term tourism through the VOA and e-VOA, to medium-term stays on the B211A visit e-Visa, and long-term residence and investment via KITAS and KITAP.
For eligible nationals on short trips for tourism, family visits, transit, or short business, the Visa on Arrival (VOA) and its electronic equivalent (e-VOA) allow an initial 30 days plus one 30-day extension, for a maximum of 60 days total.
For those wishing to stay longer than 60 days, the B211A visit visa is the standard and necessary choice. It is also the typical visa used by digital nomads earning foreign income.
For long-term residence and investment, options include the Investor KITAS for company establishment (PT PMA) with investment thresholds, the Second-Home Visa for high-net-worth individuals seeking long-term residence without work, and Retirement & Dependent Visas for those of retirement age or for the families of KITAS holders.
