Are you planning an extended trip to Bali? Get a lost in paradise for a while, explore the Island, learn yoga or surf…Do you want to know how to stay in Bali longer? What is the best Bali visa for long term stay? Bali Business Consulting will be happy to help you with this. We have compiled a small guide for you about long term visas in Bali. Let’s start
JUMP TO:
Currently, the easiest way to come to Indonesia is getting Visa on Arrival (VOA) but this type of visa is valid 30 days and can be extended only once for 30 days more. So it let you stay in Indonesia maximum 60 days, after that you must leave the country!
VOA holders cannot apply for a new stay permit inside the country!
However, there are options that allow you to stay in Indonesia for 180 days and even more!
Yes, you can stay in Bali for up to 6 months! So if you want to stay more than 60 days, Tourist Visa B211 or Business Visa B211 is the best choice for you. Visa B211 is issued for 60 days and can be extended 2 times for 60 days each time, so it lets you stay in Indonesia for maximum 180 days. Currently, this is the most popular type of visa in Bali.

Another benefit of the B211 visa is that it entitles you to apply for a new visa within the country!
Also, you can choose Business Visa (type 212). This visa valid 1 year, it is non-extendable, and you have to leave Indonesia each 60 days, but can come back after. Business visa is perfect for frequent short-term business visits and gives rights to negotiate, sign contracts, participate in conference and workshops, make connections with partners and suppliers, arrange export shipments and control your investment projects.
Unfortunately, this type of visa is temporarily unavailable, but the Indonesian government plans to return it in the near future
If you are older than 55 years old you can get a Retirement Kitas. This is a temporary residence permit issued for applicants over 55 years old for 1 year and can be extended for 5 years. The Retirement Visa allows you to live in Indonesia permanently and leave the country and come back as often as you like. With Kitas you can also get a lot of benefits as a bank account, local driver’s license, discount in some medical and other centers. Read More >>
Of course, you can also find a job in Bali and get a Working Visa Kitas for 1 year with multiple entrance permit. However, let’s clear up a few important points about this visa. Work visa is issued for a specific position in a certain company, so it’s impossible to get a Work Kitas before employment.
If you are a DJ, a musician, a singer, photographer or model you can get an Entertainment Kitas (sometimes it is called a Freelancer or Artist Kitas). This is an absolutely legal work permit for 6 months, but unlike a work visa, you do not need to look for employers to obtain it. Read More >>
If you want to stay in Bali for a long time and engage in some kind of commercial activity, you can open a PT PMA Company and get Investor or Work Kitas

Hi, I’m looking for information on visas for a move to Bali. My wife and I (Korean and British) are early 40s and looking to retire. We own property in Korea, but plan to lease it out and hoped to move to Bali in the summer of 2022. I don’t need to work, but if it helps with a visa then I’m open to the idea, I currently run a sports company and coach soccer. Please could you respond with some advice as the best way to proceed. Many thanks
