Visitors from these countries don't need any visa to enter Indonesia ('visa free entry') for visits of up to 30 days:

Visitors from these countries can get a 30-day visa without any advance application ('visa on arrival') by paying US$25 on arrival in Bali at Denpasar airport ('Ngurah Rai International Airport'):

Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Canada, Cyprus, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, India, Iran, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Laos, Liechenstein, Luxembourg, Maldives, Malta, Mexico, Monaco, New Zealand, Norway, Oman, People's Republic of China, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Suriname, Switzerland, Sweden, Taiwan, The Netherlands, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States of America.

A 30-day visa will be enough if you just plan to take the IDC or one of our IDC packages. However if you want to stay for our free internship the 30-day visa probably won’t be enough, and 'visa on arrival' cannot be extended in Indonesia. If you enter Bali with a 'visa on arrival' and want to stay longer you need to leave Indonesia and re-enter on a new visa, which is a hassle and expensive (you will need to fly to neighbouring Singapore). For this reason, if you plan to stay in Bali for longer than 30 days we recommend you apply for a 'Social Visa' (called 'Sosial Budaya' in Indonesian). This visa can be granted for up to 6 months to allow visitors to Indonesia to attend training programs, such as an IDC. You will need to apply in advance for a social visa from any overseas Indonesian Consulate - we can supply your sponsor letter as per the visa requirements after we receive 50% deposit for your IDC.

 

Stop press: As of January 2010 Visa-on-Arrival can be extended once (so you get 30 days + 30 days) without having to leave Bali. However the details are still unclear.

 

Indonesian bureaucracy is notoriously slow, so apply for your visa well in advance of your trip to Bali.
