BALI VISA EXTENSION GUIDE | VOA Free vs Paid | Indonesia Immigration

- Visas in Indonesia are strict, if you want to use the Visa On Arrival VOA for Bali you need to do a Visa Extension to stay...✈ Want to stay long term in Bali?? Here's how - bit.ly/2PjaPey
Visa Extension Bali is a common comment and search term, but theres not really much information in video form about the free Indonesian tourist visa on arrival VOA and how to actually go to immigration and extend it from Canggu with a visa agent... Let alone the cost of the Bali visa on arrival either.
This is much more informational than our typical vlog content, but this travel vlog covers a few days in Canggu as we go about figuring out how to extend our Bali visa, confirm the right free visa on arrival to get, cover the cost of the visa by using a visa agent and how it goes with the Indonesia Immigration process trip as well.
This travel vlog was a bit tricky to make as it covers so many days, but hopefully this helps you understand if you do come to Indonesia, and are spending time in Bali (or Canggu in particular) just how to go about extending the visa with an agent and what to expect at immigration. If it helps, leave a comment and let us know!

Bit of a different video today, hope it was still interesting even if you're not likely to visit Bali and extend a visa! Next weeks videos will be a Cost Of Living and heading to the islands!

Brilliant breakdown of what to do to stay a little longer. Really appreciate this. And easy to comprehend. Love how you guys roll with the bumps and turns. Definitely something we'll keep in our journals. Thanks loads, James and Kim :)
Happy to help guys!
Excellent advice. Nice change-up on content. Great camera shots.😎👍
This couldn't have come at a better time! I am getting so excited to head to Bali myself real soon and I am learning so much from you guys! Thanks for that & stay happy x
Happy to help :)
Good job guys. I am in Ubud now and watched your video before meeting with the visa agent. I went through all the same stuff you did and your video is spot on in terms on what is involved in getting the one month extension. Thanks for the post.
Hello Daneger and Stacey I hope you both are well . I love your videos keep it up watching your videos makes me feel I am on holiday with you guys
This is an awesome guide guys. Pretty straightforward too.
Nice tip guys ! Enjoy your stay in Bali. One of my fav island in Asia.
Good info About Visa Ex! Many Many arguments about that! Very Helpful!
Good to know we could confirm the arguments :P
That's good info to know. I'll keep this agency in mind. Thanks for sharing.
Definitely made life WAY easier
Your video has been really useful man, thanks so much!
No worries dude 🤙🏼
@@DanegerAndStacey Thanks guys. You really do make helpful videos.
Thanks for the info. Love these helpful vlogs!
No worries - good to have you back watching :)
We never stopped watching. Been watching you all this time on a TV with internet and we just don't sign in to CZcams. So we're one of your many anonymous viewers. We enjoy and look forward to all your vlogs. Keep up the great work!
@@sizzlemann Oh well thats amazing to hear then! We hear ya, when we watch CZcams we generally do on a Fire Stick or Apple TV on a big screen where we can as well, makes it much harder to comment :) Hope the vids like nice and crispy on your big screen ✓
Yaaaah thanks guys! Absolutely cannot wait to be back in Bali
You guys got plans to head back? Oh snap... you were first as well 🏆
@@DanegerAndStacey Woo! Been a while since I was on the podium! 😁 We sure do, we to Bali on 1st Jan. Sold our house, sold most of our possessions except a few things we put in storage. Quit our jobs (which was seriously an amazing feeling as I've been working full-time since I was 15 so that's almost half of my life) we've only got 24 days left and shit is getting real! 😊 It's so exciting albeit a little scary. We'll be gone for a year at this stage, hopefully longer. We've only got our first week accommodation booked in Bali so far but the unknown makes for an interesting and exciting adventure.
You guys got plans on heading back to S. E. Asia?
Oh and I love Staceys new hair do. Suits her so much! ❤️😊
HELL YES - thats so exciting guys! Happy to hear that and so stoked for you both. We're contemplating Thai islands early next year, seems like a lot of the Patreon crew want to see that as well so we're thinking about chasing the sun there - hope it's not too rainy for you guys in Bali in Jan!!!
@@DanegerAndStacey thanks guys. Our favourite saying at the moment is "wherever 'there' may be" our year is so open ended, we can go where ever we want! We do have Thailand on the cards as well. Maaate, even if it does rain, I bet it can't be any worse than the crap weather that we've been having down here in CHCH. (It probably could but hey, we're gonna be in Bali!!)
Hello everyone, excellent video! Really made my day.Thanks...
Bali visa extension FTW because you can come as casual as you can be and don't need to wear uncomfortable trousers just like in Boracay. LOL. And oh yasss you both look so cool. Much love from your avid fan
Balls of steel travelling through that traffic hhahahahaha. I don't usually get scared in traffic, but dang its crazy town there 🤣 Good idea the headphones and Google. Will try that next time we're in Bali and Thailand. Didn't think of that! Great tips, shots and great editing!
Haha yeah the traffic is a bit of a nightmare, but the ol headphones helped!
thats nice so much achievement for a day..👌 take care have a safe driving.👍👍👍
Hi Aaron, thanks for your video, I appreciate the information
I have a question your viewers may appreciate as well. It concerns the date of the outbound flight because I want to stay for a total of 60 days.
On the initial 30 day visa can I submit an outbound date 60 days? If I can't then that means I discard the initial outbound flight and get another flight to match the visa extension.
I think some clarification around this would help quite a few tourists.
Thanks in advance
So, you can extend both the VISA on arrival obtained from airport and the one from online ? My hearing isn't the best. Thanks so much.
Informative!
Very helpful guys, cheers
i book return ticket after 55 days as I'm intended to extend so it wont be a problem at the port of entry right ?
Just curious what neighnorhood/area was that visa agent located in?
if i wanna stay for 60 days should i have a return ticket for after 30 days already to get the voa?
If I traveled then I would definitely do what you guys do and stay longer term. There must be a real feeling of satisfaction knowing that you have time to really savour the place. So finding an easy way to make that happen makes real sense and this vlog shows how to do it. Stacey's new hair style looks cool by the way 👌
Any general education how much the agents fees are, on average, with your assessment and that of others who refer you to other places ? 🤔
The visa people are super nice and always take care of you I've had no problem using them in Vietnam Thailand soo easy just pay the money sit back all done. Don't be cheap no headache listen to uncle James.
Completely agree Unc - sit back and enjoy the lifestyle :)
Yoooo, is that lost leblancs place in the background? It looks super similar from his early videos 😂 trying to get there to film and have a friend who location scouts out there lol
Thank you for your travel tips!
No worries - thanks for watching
Where was the hardest place you’ve been too, to get a visa? Or a visa extension?
Thank you, both
The process in Thailand can be a little bit painful and they're very cautious about tourists extending and staying, leaving and repeating. Indo and Vietnam for example are just happy you're paying money and want to stay in the country and spend more money.
Love your videos! Super relevant as we moved to Bali last week and got a VOA at the airport. Do you two ever stop by the dojo? Saw you grabbed a bowl here last week. Cheers- Samantha
Hopefully sets you up to easily extend then! We dont really do co-working spaces, though I had a look around the other day and seemed like a good set up in there... Nalu bowls has gone down hill though, used to be amazing, even for the price. Such a shame.
If you think Nalu Bowls is subpar I would love to see a video of you two trying 'natural food' in the states 😂😂😂
Stacey, I'm loving your new haircut. It looks gorgeous xx
I agree - love it! ~ Dane
Just one question! Did you guys do this in the beginning of your trip or at the end of it? Do you know if you loose days on you extension if you do it in the beginning? :) Thanks for great video and hopefully a reply ;)
We did it about half way through - best to go earlier rather than later, then you can get the slower, but cheaper, visa because you have time. Go early!
As far as I know, as long as you have your visa extension process underway it doesn't matter if your VOA runs out during the process, therefore there would be no need to buy the faster process....
Interesting to know!
Love you both
Daneger, Is that the American Embassy to Bali behind you at 6:51??
Not sure it's American, its just the main immigration/embassy
Your shirt is ripped Dan... (and so is your biceps!) :D
Thats the way both of them are supposed to be :P
What's the address for the agent?
Hi, thanks for the information, good video. I want to stay in Bali upto 6 months, is the process for the extension you did the same as for a 6month social visa? I already have a sponsor from Bali
We're not 100% sorry, best to email the agency and see what they say
The confusing part to me is that you need an onward or return flight to get into Bali, even if you fully intend to extend the visa. Is there any way around wasting money on a ticket you'll never use?
Also: anyone done this recently - anything big changed since 3 years ago?
There are websites that offer return prices that are not necessarily fake, but with questionable legitimacy... we've used them once and didn't like it. The best alternative is a flight with free cancelations 👍🏼 That does mean you need to seriously understand the T&C's to ensure you can cancel the return leg
Me and my fiancé our planning our honeymoon to Bali what scares me is renting a scooter and getting lost and not knowing how to get back to the villa we would stay at ?
How do you guys get around safely without getting lost ?
You won't get lost - you can ask a local, bring a printed map or just use Google Maps on your phones. Pick up a local sim card for $10, have lots of data, or just download offline maps on your phone
Hi just curious did you have to buy onward ticket of departing from Bali before arriving in Bali please
We were never asked to show onward, not on arrival or visa extension.. unlike Thailand.
Daneger and Stacey Thank you Wish I had gone now have booked onward tickets so far as often pulled out at airports as a solo traveller ...even on my way home lol... yes really or maybe from uk these countries dont have such good agreements lol x
After booking a one way ticket to Bali we were told that we needed proof of leaving Bali (printed tickets) before we got on the plane in Brisbane for Bali. Have you ever had this happen to you? We wanted to just leave it open so we could depart Bali anytime within the 30 days😏.
They can instantly process thousands of Visas On Arrival a day at the airport. It's rather curious that it takes days to get an extension.
Very true - especially considering lots of the VOAs are free for certain nationalities and the extensions are all paid.
Hi both. I might have missed this but if I arrive and take the free voa am I allowed to extend.?
Hey Mark - thats the critical thing we mentioned at the start, if you plan on longer than 30 days you HAVE to pay for the VOA when you arrive, rather than just take the free visa waiver/exemption lots of countries get for free.
Do you need a different kind of visa to do volunteer work in bali?
what kind of volunteer work you will do??, and which country are u from??
Upon arrival at the airport, can you decide to not fill out the free VOA Visa form (so i can intentionally extend it while i am there?)
You either take the free 30 days which CAN'T be extended, or you pay for the 30 day visa which CAN be extended. You can't get a free one then pay to extend.
Catching up! Only 10 months behind now.
Speeeeeedy!
Daneger and Stacey you guys look good on the big smart tv. Taking note for our trips.
my western friend wants to stay long term in bali so what do he must do.
Best to contact the agency and ask.
Woah, my partner and I are going to be in Bali April 1-29 next year...so as Aussies we get the 30 days without visa also, but we still have to pay on arrival anyway?
No need to pay anything then, assuming you're only staying for 30 days you're all good!
@@DanegerAndStacey Thanks, guys! Merry Christmas!!!
So paying extra for extension is only if I decide to stay more than 30 days ? Any idea of what time the 30th day ends at Incase your flight might be late in the day and go past the expiration date/time ?
Is the visa necessary only if you are staying a lot of weeks???
Exactly - you can get 30 days for free (or paid at the airport if you're not a supported country) the extension is only if you stay longer than that 30 days.
How about mine im from phillipines,. I would plan to visit for 10days in bali.
For the 10 days? You're good, free Visa
👍👍👍
I'm flying to Bali next month for 10 weeks. I'm working as an Intern from Germany. What kind of Visa do I need and how do I get it? - Thanks in advance! :)
Your best bet is to contact an agency and ask - or your employer?
So question, they actually take your passports when you pay upfront? Doesn’t that sound very sketchy leaving your passport there? Haha
Haha yeah they do, sounds dodgy, but its not if you go to a trusted agency.
I have done it many of times, even the places that look dodgy there has been no problems at all. Paying up front has never been an issue either.. The good thing about the agents is that they fill all the forms for you as if you do it and make a mistake the ball starts rolling again and days upon days are wasted and you have to do it all over again and pay again.. Agents is by the far the best hassle free way to go...
Very interesting, how many times can you renew this way?
The 30 day can only be done once, then you have to leave. So 60 days at a time, but you can rinse and repeat.
@@DanegerAndStacey thanks!
did you have to fly out at all ?
Not for the extension, no. But once you've extended once you do.
Ohhhh very nice sr but I want making visa us how ? I want going to chicago,
Huh? You want to go to the USA??
@@DanegerAndStacey yeah sr I really want come to USA,😁can help me how to got visa 😍
How much is VOA at the airport cost when not for free ? And can u pay them in any currency ?
It seems to fluctuate, but was $30 USD and you can pay in a few different currencies - we paid in Euros or Pound which meant we lost a few dollars on the exchange, but good use of the cash.
Daneger and Stacey thx for the info, I have been going there many years and been getting the free visa but didn’t really understand about could u still get another month on the free one as u said u can’t I wasent sure, I remember when I first went to bali in 2010 there was only one type of visa u had to pay 25usd I think and I renewed it for a extra month back then just by going to a visa agent like yee did just dropped in the passport got it back in 2 days I think stamped and all but I didn’t have to go to the immigration office back then funny how u have too go to the immigration office now as well times change I guess 😃
@@davel6780 Thats right actually - everyone used to have to pay for the visa just to arrive in Bali, I did the first time I went before I met Stace actually! Times have changed a lot haha.
Dude visit borneo
Costs? Length of visas .how many times to extend?
Did you watch?
@@DanegerAndStacey 😂😂😂

From when we left to when we got back, yup, about 3 hours
Visa? To Indonesia?
Yes. Yes.
