Deciding a Budget for Bali

  • Budget travellers can expect to spend around INR 2,000 to INR 4,000 per day, staying in guesthouses and dining at local warungs.

  • Connecting Flights: Most connecting flights to Bali typically include layovers in cities like Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, and Bangkok. Popular airlines offering these routes include AirAsia, Garuda Indonesia, and Singapore Airlines which may take 10-18 hours to reach Bali, depending on the number of stops.
Additionally, travellers can explore various domestic flights within Indonesia to reach other islands, with airlines such as Lion Air and Citilink providing numerous options based on routes and pricing.

Visa for Indians to Visit Bali

  • Indian citizens need a visa to visit Bali with options depending on the purpose of travel and length of stay. For tourism, you can choose between a Visa on Arrival, allowing for a stay of up to 30 days (extendable for another 30 days), or a 211A Tourist Visa.
  • The standard processing time for a visa application is around 6 business days. You can apply online and submit the application in person at the Consulate Counter, along with supporting documents.
  • Key requirements include a passport valid for at least six months after entry, two recent passport-sized colour photographs, and payment of fees in cash (IDR only). Additional documents may be requested by the Consular Officer.
