How to get an electronic visa for Bali (EVOA)?
Not long ago, the borders of Indonesia opened for mass tourism. The era of coronavirus is gradually coming to an end, and the B211 visa for Bali, which allows staying in Indonesia for up to 6 months (Bali visa B211), has been replaced by the VOA on arrival—valid for 60 days.
Tourists have returned to Bali, with about one million domestic tourists per month, as well as hundreds of thousands of foreign tourists arriving. Previously, queues at the border took 30–40 minutes, and people sat on the floor waiting for their coveted passport stamps.
Now, these queues take much longer, measured not in minutes but in tiredness after a long flight. But you have a chance to apply for an eVOA visa in advance and pass through automated gates without queues (see photo above).
Understanding the situation with long queues at international airports, on November 7, 2022, the Indonesian authorities released a special electronic visa for Indonesia – eVOA, which can be obtained in advance directly on the website of the immigration service. This greatly relieved Ngurah Rai airport in Denpasar, Bali. Queues have become smaller, and the number of people using electronic visa upon arrival in Indonesia is growing.

Instructions for applying for an electronic visa to Indonesia (eVOA)
Step 1. Registration of a new eVOA visa applicant
Go to the immigration website: https://molina.imigrasi.go.id.
Select the Login tab. The system requires you to be registered in order to register your visa. If applying for visas for multiple members of your family, each person must be registered separately.
Then, select the Register button.
The entire registration process is fairly simple and consists of 3 blocks.
In this section, you will be asked to provide all the basic personal information such as your name, gender, place and date of birth, phone number and photo. Fill out the form carefully, using accurate information from your passport, which you will be using to travel to Indonesia.
Next, you will fill out your passport details, including passport number, nationality (country of passport issuance), date of passport issuance, passport expiration date, issuing office, and a photo of the passport itself.
Finally, you will enter the standard information needed to register for any service – your email and password. Please note that a registration confirmation will be sent to your email. Make sure you have access to it. Only after confirming your registration will you be able to access the site under your name.
Step 2. Completing the eVOA applicant form.
Log in to the website using your login and password – https://molina.imigrasi.go.id. Select the e-VOA button, then choose APPLY.
Here, you need to fill out a small visa application form. You will need to indicate when you plan to arrive in Indonesia and your flight number. If you don’t want to fill it out yourself, we can do it for you. Just leave your request here.
Carefully fill in the address of your future residence in Indonesia. Agree to the privacy policy and terms of use of your personal information.
Step 3. Confirmation of contact information and payment.
After successfully completing all actions, the service will provide you with summary information about your application.
Check that you have entered your passport details correctly. If you provide incorrect information and your passport does not match your eVOA, your visa may be revoked. If everything is correct, all you need to do is make a payment by clicking on MAKE A PAYMENT button.
Pay the visa fee, and within 2-3 days of payment, your e-visa will be sent to your email. All you need to do upon arrival is show this electronic visa to the officer at immigration control or go through automated control, scan your passport and visa.
