eVOA for Australians
Australians qualify for eVOA with no sponsor required. It grants 30 days, extendable once for a further 30 days (60 days maximum). This is the simplest option for standard Bali holidays.
Longer Stays and Retirement in Bali
Many Australians use Bali as a long-term or retirement base. For stays beyond 60 days, or genuine long-term residency, the B211A Tourist Visa or a KITAS route (Retirement KITAS or Investor KITAS) is required. Retirement KITAS is available to applicants aged 55 and over who meet current financial and accommodation requirements.
