Indonesia Visa on Arrival takes 15–30 minutes at the airport counter — it’s instant. If you apply for the B211A eVisa online before travel, processing takes 3–5 business days. Here’s the full timeline breakdown and what to expect.

Processing Times at a Glance

Visa Type	Processing Time	Notes
Visa on Arrival (VoA)	15–30 minutes at airport	Includes queue time at Bali during peak season
Mobile VoA (pre-registered)	Instant on arrival (dedicated lane)	Pre-register via M-Paspor app before flying
B211A eVisa (online)	3–5 business days	Apply at molina.imigrasi.go.id

Visa on Arrival at Bali Airport: What to Expect

At Ngurah Rai International Airport, the VoA process goes: payment counter → VoA stamp issued → immigration desk. During peak season (June–August, December–January), VoA queues can take 30–45 minutes. The Mobile VoA (M-Paspor app) lets you skip this queue with a dedicated window.

B211A eVisa Timeline

• Day 1: Submit application on molina.imigrasi.go.id
• Days 2–4: Under review (business days only)
• Day 4–6: Approval email received — download PDF from your account

Apply at least 7–10 days before departure. Indonesian public holidays (notably Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Independence Day on August 17) can add 2–3 days to processing.

How Long Can Indians Stay in Indonesia?

• VoA: 30 days, extendable once for 30 more days (total 60 days)
• B211A eVisa: 60 days, extendable up to 4 times at local immigration (max 180 days)

FAQs

Can I get VoA on the same day I fly?

Yes — VoA is issued right at the airport. No advance application needed. Just show up with your passport and USD 35.

Is there express processing for Indonesia eVisa?

No official express option exists. For the fastest processing, use Visa on Arrival — it’s instant at the airport and perfectly sufficient for 30-day holidays.

Do I need to apply for VoA extension before 30 days is up?

Yes — visit your nearest Indonesian immigration office before your VoA expires. Extensions take 1–3 working days and cost around IDR 500,000 (~₹2,500).

Indonesia Visa on Arrival refusals at the airport are rare for Indians but do happen. eVisa rejections are more common and usually due to document errors. Here are the main reasons — and exactly what to do about them.

Visa on Arrival (VoA) Refusal at Bali Airport

VoA is granted at immigration (after the VoA payment counter), not at the payment counter itself. The payment counter always accepts money — the actual decision is made by the immigration officer who stamps your passport. Reasons for VoA refusal:

1. No Onward Ticket

Indonesian immigration requires proof that you plan to leave within 30 days. If you don’t have a confirmed return or onward flight, you can be turned away. Always carry a confirmed booking.

2. Passport Too Close to Expiry

Passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry into Indonesia. If yours is expiring sooner, you will be refused entry.

3. Prior Deportation or Immigration Issues

If you’ve been deported from Indonesia previously, or if your name appears on a blacklist, you’ll be refused. Contact the Indonesian Embassy in New Delhi before travelling if you’ve had past issues.

4. Officer’s Suspicion of Long-Term Stay or Work

If an officer suspects you’re planning to work or overstay, they may ask detailed questions or deny entry. Be clear you’re a tourist, have accommodation booked, and have funds for your stay.

eVisa (B211A) Rejection Reasons

1. Passport Data Errors

Name, passport number, or expiry date entered incorrectly. The system cross-references your passport scan with your form data — any mismatch causes rejection.

2. Poor Quality Documents

Blurry passport scan, unclear photo, or wrong photo background. Use good lighting and ensure your face and all passport text are clearly visible.

3. Requested Stay Exceeds Allowed Duration

B211A is for 60 days. Entering dates that span more than 60 days causes rejection.

What to Do If Refused at Bali Airport

If refused at immigration, you’ll be held in a waiting area and placed on the next flight back to your departure city at your own expense. Do not argue with immigration officers — it makes things worse. If you believe the refusal is an error, calmly ask to speak with a supervisor. Contact the Indonesian Embassy in New Delhi (+91-11-26118642) for guidance before rebooking.

FAQs

Is the VoA fee refunded if I’m refused entry?

No. The VoA fee is non-refundable. Even if you’re refused entry after paying, you do not get the USD 35 back.

Can I reapply for Indonesia eVisa after rejection?

Yes — there’s no waiting period. Fix the identified error, submit a new application, and pay the fee again. If you’re unsure why you were rejected, consider using a visa service for the second attempt.

Indonesia eVisa (B211A) lets Indians stay for 60 days — double the Visa on Arrival limit. Apply online at molina.imigrasi.go.id before you travel. Processing takes 3–5 business days. If you’re planning a longer Bali trip or visiting multiple islands, the eVisa is the better option.

VoA vs eVisa: Which Should Indians Choose?

	Visa on Arrival	B211A eVisa
Apply before travel?	No — at airport	Yes — online
Stay duration	30 days	60 days

Step-by-Step: Indonesia eVisa Application

1. Go to molina.imigrasi.go.id — the official Indonesian Immigration portal
2. Click “Create Account” and register with your email
3. Select Visa Type: B211A (Social/Cultural) for tourism
4. Fill in personal details — name exactly as on passport, nationality, passport number, expiry date
5. Enter travel details: entry date, exit date, and accommodation address
6. Upload passport scan and photo
7. Pay the fee by international card
8. Wait 3–5 business days — download the approved eVisa PDF from your account

FAQs

Can I extend B211A eVisa inside Indonesia?

Yes — the B211A can be extended up to 4 times (30 days each) at local immigration offices inside Indonesia. Maximum total stay: 180 days.

Is B211A for tourism only?

B211A is for social/cultural/tourism activities. You cannot work on this visa. For business, a different visa category applies.

Can I still get VoA if I have an approved eVisa?

You only need one — either VoA or eVisa, not both. The eVisa gets you 60 days; VoA gets 30 days. Use whichever suits your trip length.

← Back to the complete Bali & Indonesia Visa guide for Indians

Indonesia Visa on Arrival for Indians requires almost no documents — just your passport, USD 35, and a return ticket. There’s no form to fill before travel, no photos needed at the VoA counter. Here’s exactly what to carry.

Documents Required at the VoA Counter

• Passport: Valid for at least 6 months beyond your departure date from Indonesia, with at least 1 blank page
• USD 35 payment: By international credit/debit card (preferred) or USD cash. Indonesian Rupiah and Indian Rupees not accepted at VoA counter
• Onward/return ticket: A confirmed flight out of Indonesia within 30 days — shown on your phone is fine

Documents That May Be Checked at Immigration (After VoA)

The VoA counter just takes payment. At the immigration desk, the officer may ask for:

• Hotel booking confirmation (shown on phone is fine)
• Return or onward flight ticket
• Sufficient funds proof (most Indians are not asked, but carry a bank statement if you want to be safe)

Not Required for Bali VoA

• Passport-size photos (not needed at VoA counter)
• Travel insurance (not mandatory, but recommended)
• Bank statements at VoA counter (may be asked at immigration, rarely)
• Any pre-filled form (the officer fills the stamp details)

Pro Tip: Use the Indonesia Mobile VoA App

Indonesia launched a Mobile VoA system via the M-Paspor app, which lets you pre-register and pay online before landing. This skips the queue at the VoA counter. You still collect your stamp at a dedicated “Mobile VoA” window at major airports. Download M-Paspor before your flight and complete the pre-registration with your passport details and card payment.

FAQs

Can I pay VoA fee in Indian Rupees?

No. The VoA fee is USD 35. Pay by international card or USD cash. Carry USD as backup if your card doesn’t work abroad.

Do I need a physical printout of my return ticket?

No. Showing on your phone is perfectly fine. Download the booking PDF offline just in case you lose connectivity at the airport.

What if the VoA card machine isn’t working?

Always carry USD 35–40 in cash as backup. The VoA counters at Bali usually have reliable card terminals, but technical issues do occur occasionally.

Indians get Visa on Arrival (VoA) for Bali and Indonesia — you do not need to apply before you travel. Pay USD 35 at the airport, get a 30-day stamp, and you’re in. No forms to fill in advance, no embassy visit. This guide covers the VoA process, the eVisa option, fees, and everything else you need for your 2026 trip.

Does an Indian Need a Visa for Bali?

Yes — but it’s the easiest visa process you’ll encounter. Indians are eligible for Visa on Arrival (VoA) at Bali’s Ngurah Rai International Airport and all other major Indonesian entry points. You simply pay at the counter on arrival. No prior application, no paperwork from India needed.

Visa Options for Indians Visiting Indonesia

Visa Type	Best For	Fee	Stay Allowed

B211A eVisa (online)	Longer stays, flexibility	USD 35–50	60 days
Social/Cultural Visa	Extended stays 60–180 days	Higher	Up to 180 days

How Visa on Arrival Works at Bali Airport

1. Land at Ngurah Rai International Airport, Bali
2. Follow signs to “Visa on Arrival” counter (before immigration)
3. Pay USD 35 by card or USD cash
4. Collect your VoA receipt/sticker
5. Proceed to the immigration counter with your passport and VoA receipt

The entire process at the airport takes 15–30 minutes including queuing. Bali airport has efficient VoA counters. Carry USD 35 in cash as backup in case the card machine is down.

Indonesia eVisa Option (B211A)

If you prefer to have your visa sorted before travel, Indonesia also offers an online B211A eVisa through molina.imigrasi.go.id. This gives 60 days and is ideal for longer Bali stays or if you’re travelling to multiple Indonesian islands. Processing takes 3–5 business days.

Top Places to Visit in Bali & Indonesia

Indians love Bali for Ubud (rice terraces, temples, yoga retreats), Seminyak and Kuta (beaches, surf, nightlife), Uluwatu (clifftop temple, sunset views), and Nusa Penida (dramatic coastal landscapes). Beyond Bali, Lombok (Gili Islands, beaches), Komodo (dragon spotting, diving), and Yogyakarta (Borobudur, Prambanan temples) are worth extending your trip for.

FAQs

Do Indians need a visa for Bali?

Yes, but it’s very easy — Visa on Arrival, paid at the airport on arrival. No advance application needed.

Can I pay the VoA fee in Indian Rupees?

No. The VoA fee is charged in USD. Pay by international card or USD cash. Avoid money changers at the airport — rates are poor.

How long can Indians stay in Bali?

30 days on VoA, extendable once to 60 days. For longer stays, apply for the B211A eVisa before travelling (60 days) or a Social/Cultural Visa.

Is Bali safe for Indian tourists?

Yes — Bali is one of the most Indian-friendly destinations in Southeast Asia. Vegetarian food is widely available, Hindi and English are understood in tourist areas, and direct flights from Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, and Bangalore make it very accessible.

Vietnam eVisa processing time for Indians is 3 business days. Weekends and Vietnamese public holidays are not counted. If you apply on a Friday, expect your visa by Wednesday at the earliest. Apply at least 5–7 days before your travel date to be safe.

Vietnam eVisa Timeline at a Glance

Application Type	Processing Time	Fee
Standard eVisa	3 business days	USD 25
Embassy visa (traditional)	5–7 working days	USD 40–80

Note: Vietnam does not currently offer an official “express” or “urgent” eVisa option. The 3-day timeline is the standard, and it’s fairly reliable in practice.

When to Apply Before Your Trip

• Ideal: 7–10 days before departure
• Minimum recommended: 5 days before departure (gives buffer for weekends and delays)
• Absolute minimum: 4 business days (risky — any delay leaves no room)

What Affects Vietnam eVisa Processing Time

• Vietnamese public holidays: Tet (Lunar New Year, Jan–Feb) and National Day (Sep 2) are busy periods when immigration offices slow down — apply earlier during these periods
• Application errors: If your details need manual review due to a data mismatch, processing can take longer — up to 5 business days
• High-volume periods: Peak tourist months (November–February) may see higher application volumes, but the system is largely automated

My eVisa Hasn’t Arrived After 3 Days — What Now?

Log back into the official portal (evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn) and enter your application code. If the status shows “Processing,” wait one more business day. If it shows “Rejected,” you’ll need to reapply. If it shows nothing or you can’t find your application, use the portal’s support contact form or email the Vietnam Immigration Department at congtacxkld@gmail.com.

How Long Is the Vietnam eVisa Valid?

The eVisa is valid for up to 90 days from your stated entry date. Your actual permitted stay on each visit is also up to 90 days. If you exit and re-enter Vietnam on a multiple-entry visa, each stay can be up to 90 days.

FAQs

Is there an urgent Vietnam eVisa option?

The official portal does not offer an urgent/express processing option. Some third-party agencies claim to offer this, but they’re unofficial and charge high markups. The standard 3-business-day timeline is reliable enough that you don’t need them — just apply early.

Does the 3 days include weekends?

No. “Business days” means Monday to Friday, excluding Vietnamese public holidays. If you apply on Friday, the clock starts Monday — you’d typically receive the visa by Wednesday.

Can I enter Vietnam before the start date on my eVisa?

No. Your entry date must be on or after the date stated on the eVisa. If your plans change and you want to enter earlier, you’ll need to apply for a new eVisa with the updated entry date.

Vietnam eVisa rejections for Indians are uncommon but do happen — usually due to passport data mismatches, photo issues, or incomplete travel information. The rejection rate is low compared to Schengen or US visas, but getting it wrong means reapplying and paying USD 25 again. Here’s what causes rejection and how to avoid it.

Most Common Vietnam eVisa Rejection Reasons for Indians

1. Passport Data Mismatch

The most frequent cause. If the name, passport number, date of birth, or expiry date you entered doesn’t exactly match your passport, the system flags it. Always type your name exactly as it appears on the passport bio page — including middle names, hyphens, and spacing.

2. Passport Expiring Too Soon

Vietnam requires your passport to be valid for at least 6 months beyond your exit date. If your passport expires within 6 months of your return, your application will be rejected. Renew your passport first.

3. Poor Quality Photo or Passport Scan

Blurry photos, dark backgrounds, photos with glasses, or scans where the passport text isn’t clearly readable are common causes of rejection. Use a smartphone in good lighting for both the photo and scan — the image quality matters.

4. Invalid Travel Dates

Entering dates that exceed 90 days, past dates, or illogical entry/exit combinations (exit before entry) will cause rejection. Ensure your stay doesn’t exceed 90 days and your dates are in the future.

5. Prior Immigration Violations

If you’ve previously overstayed a Vietnam visa or been deported from Vietnam, your application will be rejected. There’s no easy workaround — contact the Vietnam Embassy in New Delhi to understand your options.

6. Technical Errors During Submission

Network timeouts during payment, incomplete form submissions, or browser compatibility issues can result in a failed or incomplete application. Use a stable internet connection and a modern browser (Chrome or Firefox).

How to Reapply After Rejection

Vietnam does not provide a specific rejection reason in most cases. If your eVisa is rejected, you can reapply immediately — there is no waiting period. Fix the likely cause (check your passport details carefully, retake your photo, ensure dates are correct) and submit a new application with the USD 25 fee again.

What to Do If You’re Rejected Twice

If you’ve been rejected twice with correct details, contact the Vietnam Embassy in New Delhi (+91-11-26880453) directly. You may need to apply for a traditional visa through the embassy instead. Alternatively, an experienced visa consultant can help identify why the system is flagging your application.

FAQs

Is the USD 25 fee refunded if my eVisa is rejected?

No. The Vietnam eVisa fee is non-refundable regardless of outcome. Apply carefully and double-check all details before submitting.

Does Vietnam give a reason for rejection?

Typically no. The portal just shows “not approved.” This is why it’s important to submit a correct application the first time — you can’t appeal or request clarification easily.

Can I get Vietnam visa on arrival after eVisa rejection?

Indians cannot get visa on arrival without a pre-approved letter. If eVisa is rejected, apply via the Vietnam Embassy in New Delhi for a traditional visa.

Vietnam eVisa takes about 15 minutes to apply and 3 business days to receive. Everything is done on the official Vietnamese government portal — no agent, no embassy visit. Here is exactly how to do it.

Before You Start: What You Need Ready

• Passport (valid 6+ months beyond exit date from Vietnam)
• Passport scan (JPEG, under 2MB)
• Passport photo (white background, JPEG, under 2MB)
• Hotel name and address in Vietnam
• International credit/debit card for USD 25 payment

Step-by-Step: Vietnam eVisa Application

Step 1: Go to the Official Portal

Visit evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn — this is the only official Vietnam government e-Visa website. Avoid third-party sites that charge extra “service fees” — there’s no need for an agent.

Step 2: Select E-Visa for Foreigners

Click “Grant e-Visa for foreigners” on the homepage. Select your purpose of visit — for tourism, choose “Tourism/Sightseeing.” Select single or multiple entry depending on your trip.

Step 3: Fill in Personal Details

Enter your full name exactly as on your passport, date of birth, nationality (Indian), passport number, and issue/expiry dates. Double-check every detail — errors here cause rejection.

Step 4: Enter Travel Information

Enter your intended entry date, exit date, entry port (airport or land border), and exit port. Then add your accommodation address in Vietnam — hotel name and full address.

Step 5: Upload Documents

Upload your passport bio-page scan and your passport-size photo. Both must be JPEG format and under 2MB each. The system will preview them — check they’re clear before proceeding.

Step 6: Review and Pay

Review all your information carefully. Click Submit and proceed to the payment page. Pay USD 25 by international card. Save your application code — you’ll need it to check the status and download your visa.

Step 7: Wait and Download

Processing takes 3 business days (weekends and Vietnamese public holidays don’t count). Return to the portal, enter your application code and passport number, and download your e-Visa PDF when ready. Print it or keep it on your phone.

What Happens at Vietnam Immigration

Hand over your passport and the printed/digital e-Visa. The officer scans the QR code, checks your photo, and stamps your passport. The whole process takes 2–5 minutes at most airports. Nothing else is typically asked of Indian tourists with a valid e-Visa.

FAQs

Can I apply on mobile?

Yes, the portal works on mobile browsers. But doing it on a laptop or desktop is easier for uploading documents clearly.

What if I make an error on the form?

You cannot edit the application after submission. If you spot a significant error (wrong passport number, wrong name), you’ll need to apply again and pay the fee again. Double-check everything before paying.

How do I know if my eVisa is approved?

After 3 business days, log back into the portal with your application code. If approved, you can download the e-Visa PDF. You’ll also typically receive an email notification if you provided an email address.

Vietnam eVisa for Indians requires just 4 things: a valid passport, a digital photo, your travel dates, and a credit/debit card for the USD 25 fee. The application is fully online — no embassy visit, no agent needed. Here’s the complete checklist.

Vietnam eVisa Documents Checklist

1. Passport

• Valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended exit date from Vietnam
• At least 1 blank page for the entry stamp
• Scanned copy of bio-data page (JPEG or PNG, clear and unobstructed)

2. Passport Photo

• White/light background
• Taken within the last 6 months
• Face clearly visible, no glasses, no head covering (unless religious)
• File size: under 2MB, JPEG format

3. Travel Information

• Intended entry date and exit date (within 90-day max)
• Entry port (e.g., Noi Bai Airport Hanoi, Tan Son Nhat Airport HCMC)
• Exit port (can be different from entry)
• Accommodation address in Vietnam (hotel name + address)

4. Payment

• International credit or debit card (Visa, Mastercard, AMEX)
• USD 25 fee — charged at the time of application

Do I Need to Show These Documents at the Airport?

Yes. When you check in and at Vietnam immigration, you’ll show your original passport and a printout or digital copy of your approved e-Visa PDF. The e-Visa has a QR code that immigration officers scan. You do not need to bring any other documents unless the immigration officer specifically asks.

Documents NOT Required for Vietnam eVisa

Many Indians ask about documents that are actually not needed for the eVisa application itself: bank statements, flight bookings, hotel confirmations, and travel insurance are not required to submit. You only need these if asked at the port of entry by immigration officers, which is rare for tourists with an approved eVisa.

FAQs

Can I scan my passport at home?

Yes. A smartphone photo of your passport bio page works fine as long as it’s clear, in focus, and all text is readable. Ensure the image is saved as JPEG.

Do I need a return ticket to apply?

No return ticket is required to submit the eVisa application. However, airlines may ask for proof of onward travel before boarding.

What if I don’t know my exact travel dates yet?

Enter your best estimate. The eVisa is valid from your stated start date — you can enter Vietnam any day from that date until the end date. You don’t have to fly on the exact start date, but you cannot enter before it.

Top Places Indians Visit in Vietnam

Vietnam is one of Southeast Asia’s most rewarding destinations. Popular Indian tourist circuits include Hanoi (capital, Old Quarter, Hoan Kiem Lake), Ha Long Bay (UNESCO World Heritage, boat cruises), Hoi An (lantern town, ancient town, tailor shops), Da Nang (beaches, Ba Na Hills, Dragon Bridge), and Ho Chi Minh City (history, food, nightlife). A 10–14 day trip typically covers 3–4 of these destinations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get Vietnam visa on arrival as an Indian?

Not directly. Indians cannot get a visa-on-arrival stamp without a prior approval letter from a Vietnam immigration authority. The e-Visa is far simpler — apply online and carry the approved e-Visa PDF when you fly.

Is the Vietnam e-Visa single or multiple entry?

You choose at the time of application. Single entry is fine for a straightforward holiday. If you’re doing a multi-country trip and re-entering Vietnam, select multiple entry.

How long can Indians stay in Vietnam?

Up to 90 days per visit on an e-Visa. If you need to stay longer, you can apply for a 90-day extension at a local immigration office inside Vietnam before your current visa expires.

Do I need travel insurance for Vietnam?

Vietnam does not require travel insurance for the e-Visa. However, it’s strongly recommended — healthcare costs for foreigners can be high, and medical evacuation from remote areas like Ha Long Bay is expensive.
