Quick answer
Yes, Indians need a visa for Bali β but it is easy. Indian passport holders get a Visa on Arrival (VoA) for tourism, with no prior embassy visa needed. It costs IDR 500,000 (roughly βΉ2,800), allows a stay of 30 days, extendable once for another 30, and you can either pay on arrival at Bali airport or apply online in advance as an e-VoA. A separate Bali Tourist Levy of IDR 150,000 (roughly βΉ850) also applies.
