Indonesia visa for Australian passport holders
Australia is not on Indonesia’s visa exemption list. You’ll need a visa on arrival for a short trip, or a proper permit if you’re staying, working or retiring here.

Buy the e-VOA online before you fly, or pay at the counter on landing. Thirty days, extendable once for a further thirty. For anything longer, or for speaking, exhibiting or working, you’ll need a C, D or E index visa arranged in advance.

FAQ
Questions from Australian travellers
Do Australians need a visa for Indonesia?
Yes. Australia is not on the 2026 visa exemption list, so you need a Visa on Arrival. You can buy it at the airport or, more sensibly, purchase an e-VOA online before you fly and skip the payment queue.
Can I extend the visa on arrival?
Yes, once, for another 30 days, giving you 60 in total. The extension must be applied for before the original expires, and we handle it without you needing to leave the country.
I spend six months a year in Bali. What should I be on?
Not repeated VOAs. Immigration notices the pattern and the extension is not guaranteed. Depending on your circumstances a C1 visit visa, a Second Home visa or a retirement route will be cheaper and far less stressful than living 30 days at a time.
Can I work remotely for an Australian employer while in Bali?
A visit visa does not permit work performed in Indonesia. E33G, the remote worker permit, exists specifically for this and requires your income to come from outside Indonesia. The enforcement position has moved in recent years, so ask us about your actual arrangement rather than relying on what a forum said in 2023.
What happens if I overstay?
There is a daily fine, and beyond a certain point it becomes deportation and a re-entry ban rather than a fine. Contact us before the date, not after.
Other passports
Coming with a different nationality?
Staying more than 60 days?
Once you’re past what a VOA and one extension allow, the right answer depends on why you’re here. Tell us the situation and we’ll tell you the cheapest permit that legally covers it.
