Bali Visa for Egyptians: What You Need to Know.
Everything Egyptian travelers need to know about Bali visas, e-VOA requirements, fees, and how to apply.
Quick answer
Egyptian passport holders can enter Indonesia with a Visa on Arrival (VOA) or e-VOA, according to Indonesia’s Directorate General of Immigration. The e-VOA can be applied for online before departure through the official immigration portal. The visa costs IDR 500,000 per person and allows a 30-day stay, with a one-time extension available for another 30 days. Check the latest requirements and fees before traveling.
Egyptian Passport? Indonesia Is One Queue Away
Egyptian passport holders qualify for both the Visa on Arrival (VOA) and the Electronic Visa on Arrival (e-VOA) to enter Indonesia, per the Indonesian Directorate General of Immigration (imigrasi.go.id, verified September 2026). No embassy visit, no pre-trip appointment. You have a real choice to make before you fly, and it matters.
The VOA is processed at the airport counter after you land. It works, but queues at Bali's Ngurah Rai or Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta can run long. The e-VOA is applied for online before your flight at the official portal, evisa.imigrasi.go.id, and typically processes within 3 to 5 business days. Both options cost IDR 500,000 (roughly USD 30 at the time of writing; verify in EGP at cbe.org.eg on the day you pay). Both grant a 30-day single-entry stay.
Either visa can be extended once for another 30 days, giving you a maximum of 60 days on the ground. Since June 2025, extensions require a personal visit to a local Indonesian immigration office. Online-only extensions are no longer accepted, per the Directorate General of Immigration.
A few hard requirements apply to both routes: your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date and have at least one blank page. You also need a confirmed onward or return ticket. From October 2025, all arrivals must complete the digital All Indonesia Arrival Card at allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id before landing. This is mandatory, separate from your visa, and free.
