In 2024-2025 Indonesia has made a big changes to the entire Visa program, biggest change is everything is done online now- so no need to go to immigration on visa/kitas renewal or when you change visa/kitas either. 

Tourist Visas

Yes, there used to be both a 30 day free visa and then a 60 day VOA that could be extended a few times, everything was updated in 2024 and now there is a single entry and multiple entry visa as options. 

This visa is a single entry meaning as soon as you leave the country the visa will expire and is designed for tourists. You can extend, each period gives you 60 days for a total stay of 180 days. 

NOTE: Everything is done online now, no need to go to immigration anymore

Technically there isn’t a cap but just like before Covid if you were using too many VOAs you may start to get questions, similar applies here. You don’t want to do this over a 2-5 year period, plus the cost doesn’t make sense, its better to get into a different visa if you’re planning on staying in Bali over 180 days. 

Investor Kitas (E28A)

You have to establish a business here in Indonesia in order to qualify for this visa.
