How to Extend Your 30 Day Visa In Bali
Before Heading to Bali - Read This!
Most countries can enter Bali Visa free for 30 days. If you enter without a Visa though you will not be able to extend your stay. Hopefully you are reading this before heading to Bali. In order for this process to work, YOU MUST purchase the $35 Visa on Arrival when you land in Bali. Before reaching immigration at the airport, watch for the signs that say Visa on Arrival. There will be booths where you can purchase your $35.00 Visa On Arrival. They will only accept cash so make sure to withdrawal cash before your flight to Bali. If you do not purchase the 30 Day Visa on arrival, you must leave the country after your 30 days are up. There is no way to extend a visa if you never purchased one in the first place.
Can You Do It Yourself?
Absolutely, If you are the type who wants to save a few bucks to go through a whole lot of extra stress, then go for it! WE DON'T! We used this method as we didn't want to make 3 or 4 trips going back and forth to immigration. We didn't want to have to renew our Visa exactly 7 days before expiry. We didn't want the process to take 9-14 days. We weren't comfortable being without our passports for two weeks. You also need PROOF of onward travel such as a departure flight if you are going to do it on your own. We just wanted to get it done and over with so we could get back to enjoying Bali. Doing it on your own it will cost you around $25 US (350K IDR), take you up to 2 weeks and 3-4 trips to immigration. Yeah, no thanks. I'll pass.

Step By Step Experience With Our Bali Visa Agent:

- The courier drove to our hotel and met us in person to pick up our passports. We paid cash. They gave us a company receipt and told us they would message us about when to go to the immigration office. The courier was wearing the Visa Companies uniform which made it feel more official.
- They messaged us in an hour and told us to meet them at immigration at 1:30 pm the next day.
- We arrived at the Ngurah Rai Immigration office in Jimbaran at 1:30 pm. We met them at the front door and they instructed us to sit and wait for photos and finger prints. We waited 45 minutes and then had the prints and photos taken in less than 5 minutes. We were instructed they would drop off the passports within the next 2 days.
- We got a call the very next day letting us know that the courier would deliver the completed passports with extended visa stamp. We had them delivered to the hotel lobby. The courier was in uniform again and presented our passports to look over. Everything was correct including the new extension dates.
