When 30 days on a VOA is not enough, the B211A visa is the usual next step. It is flexible, popular with long stay visitors and business travellers, and still one of the most useful visas for Bali in 2026.
What the B211A allows
The B211A is a single entry visa for tourism, family visits and business activities such as meetings, site visits and negotiations. It does not permit you to take paid employment in Indonesia, but it is ideal for exploring opportunities, attending events or simply staying longer than a tourist visa allows. See our full B211 visa for Indonesia page for details.
How long you can stay
The B211A typically grants 60 days on entry and can be extended twice, adding up to around 180 days in total. That makes it a strong choice for a long winter in Bali, a project stay or an extended family visit.
Cost and processing
Costs vary with the number of extensions and whether you use an agent. Because the extensions involve in person biometrics in 2026, many travellers prefer to have an agent manage the timing so they are not making repeated trips to immigration. We give you a single clear quote covering the visa and its extensions.
B211A or a KITAS
If you plan to stay well beyond six months, or you want to work or invest, a longer term KITAS may suit you better. The B211A is best for stays of up to about six months without employment.
