Entry requirements to Bali (Indonesia) for Kosovars

Do Kosovars need a visa to enter Indonesia?

Yes, Kosovo citizens need to obtain a visa to enter Indonesia. This can be done online (Visa C1, also known as Visa B211A).

On September 1, 2025, Indonesia introduced a mandatory digital arrival card All Indonesia for all foreign tourists. Initially, it will be valid at the three largest airports — Bali (Denpasar), Jakarta, and Surabaya. And from October 1, the requirement will extend to all international airports in the country, including Sumatra, Komodo, Makassar, and Manado.

The All Indonesia card combines several documents that previously had to be filled out separately: customs declaration (e-CD), SATUSEHAT medical form, as well as immigration and quarantine data. Now tourists will be able to complete everything online before their trip, which will speed up the control process.

The form must be completed on the website no earlier than 3 days before the date of entry. The declaration must include personal and contact details, flight number, and hotel name.

In addition, from October 1, 2025, a tourist tax of 150,000 Indonesian rupiah (approximately USD 14) will be introduced. It can be paid either online or upon arrival.

What is Visa C1 (B211A) for Indonesia?

Visa C1 (B211A) is a single-entry visa valid for up to 60 days and can be extended twice. The maximum stay allowed is up to 180 days. This visa permits travel for purposes such as tourism, leisure, visiting relatives or friends, and participation in social or cultural events.

3. Pay the visa fee (1,000,000 Indonesian rupiahs).

• A passport-sized color photograph.
• A return ticket or a ticket to a third country.
• Proof of financial means for your stay (e.g., a bank statement).

If you cannot apply for a tourist visa online, you can obtain one through Indonesia’s diplomatic representation (embassy or consulate).

Documents required for a tourist visa application through the embassy

• Original passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the planned stay, with a minimum of two blank pages.
• Completed visa application form, dated and signed. All questions must be answered. If a question does not apply, indicate "N/A."
• A passport-sized photograph, taken within the past 6 months (at least 4×6 cm).
• A copy of your flight itinerary or electronic tickets for round-trip flights.
• Bank statement or proof of sufficient funds (minimum $2,000 over the last three months).
• Letter from your employer or a sponsorship letter (only for non-tourist purposes) explaining the purpose of the trip.
• Medical insurance covering the entire duration of your stay.

How to apply for a visa through diplomatic representation

1. Schedule an appointment at the Indonesian embassy or consulate. Contact the representation in your country to find out about possible methods of document submission (in-person or by mail).

2. Prepare the required documents. Fill out the form, gather all listed documents, and ensure their compliance with the requirements.

3. Pay the visa fee. This fee covers the cost of processing and is non-refundable, even if your application is denied. Check for available payment options: this may include cash or bank transfer depending on the embassy’s requirements.

4. Submit your documents.

- If submitting in person, hand over the documents to the consulate staff.

- If submitting by mail, place each set of documents in a separate envelope, label them clearly, and send them in a larger envelope to the embassy.

5. Receive your passport with the visa. After your application is processed, you will receive your passport with the visa attached. If you applied by mail, the embassy will return it the same way.

Tip: Always contact the diplomatic representation well in advance, verify current requirements, and ensure your passport meets all conditions for visa issuance.

Useful tips for travelers from Kosovo planning a trip to Indonesia

• Some tourist areas now accept cryptocurrency – check in advance if this is convenient for you.
• Local insect repellents are often more effective than those you bring from home – purchase them on-site.
• Renting scooters in remote areas is not only economical but also allows you to explore less accessible places.
• Bali and Java have unique black volcanic sand beaches – they are less crowded but incredibly beautiful.
• In certain areas (e.g., Raja Ampat Islands), electricity is available only for a few hours a day – prepare a power bank.

Customs declaration for entry to Indonesia

Kosovo citizens are required to complete a customs declaration when entering Indonesia. This can be done:

- Online after arrival. Airports display banners with QR codes that you can scan to access the declaration form.

- In advance on the official website to save time after landing.

Some airlines also require a completed declaration before boarding. The form should be completed no earlier than 2 days before arrival in Indonesia. We recommend confirming this requirement with your airline.

Mandatory electronic health declaration

To enter Indonesia, you must also complete an electronic health declaration form on the website sshp.kemkes.go.id. This precautionary measure is aimed at preventing the spread of monkeypox (mpox).

The form requires you to provide:

• The countries you have visited in the past 21 days;
• Any symptoms characteristic of monkeypox;
• Information about contact with individuals showing mpox symptoms.

Completing the form in advance will help you avoid delays during immigration control.
