At Denpasar Airport, the usual Visa on Arrival fee is IDR 500,000 for 30 days. Immigration, baggage claim, and customs typically take 45–90 minutes total, but during busy arrival periods it can take up to 2 hours, so a transfer with only 90 minutes of free waiting is a bit tight.

Bali visa on arrival: should you prepay online, how should you pay at the airport, and do immigration keep your passport for the extension?

Prepaying Bali’s visa on arrival does not always save much time, because you may still face immigration lines, especially with an older passport type. It’s safer to pay the exact amount or by card if possible, and for an extension your passport is usually kept and collected later rather than finished in one visit.

Do you need a new Indonesia visa to re-enter Bali after a short trip to Singapore, and can you use Singapore’s 96-hour transit facility?

Yes: if you leave Bali for Singapore and then fly back to Bali, that is a new entry to Indonesia, so you need a new visa or VOA. For a Bali–Singapore–Bali itinerary, Singapore’s 96-hour transit facility generally does not apply, so travelers from visa-required countries need a regular Singapore visa.

What documents does a 17-year-old need to enter Bali, Indonesia: is a birth certificate or parental consent required, and can e-VOA be issued in advance with a 5-year passport?

A 17-year-old usually needs their own passport valid for at least 6 months to enter Indonesia; a birth certificate is not normally required, but it is smart to carry one if the child travels with a parent who has a different surname. Notarized consent is more often required by the airline or departure country than by Indonesian immigration, and e-VOA can be applied for online in advance; if the system rejects the passport, travelers typically use VOA on arrival.

What should I do if I made a passport detail mistake in my Bali eVOA or arrival card, and do I need to upload passport photos separately?

If the mistake is in passport details on your Bali eVOA, it is safest to correct it before flying; for key passport fields, travelers often reapply through the official Molina Imigrasi portal and pay for a new application. If you applied for eVOA directly after the online arrival card in the linked official flow, the system does not always ask for separate passport or portrait uploads.
