Throughout your stay in Bali, visas will be one of the main expenses. However, there are a few ways to use your money more effectively.
Most tourists arrive in Bali with a VOA tourist visa, which allows them to stay on the island for 30 days. After that, you can extend your visa for another 30 days. However, if you do the extension yourself, you will need to visit the immigration office three times, which takes time and patience, while using an agency requires only one visit for taking a photo and fingerprints. After the 30-day extension, you will need to leave Indonesia.
To avoid leaving every 60 days, you can use an agency to obtain a B211 business visa, which allows you to stay in Bali without leaving for 6 months, but expires upon leaving Indonesia. Every 60 days, this visa needs to be renewed through the agency that opened it for you, as they act as your sponsor. Remember that the penalty for overstaying any visa is 1 million Indonesian rupiahs per day. Therefore, it is important to choose a professional agency that handles your visa processing and monitors their renewal deadlines. This way, you can avoid huge fines and problems with re-entering Indonesia.
If your stay on the island is related to work, the most advantageous option would be to register a PMA company and obtain a KITAS investor visa, which allows you to stay in Bali for 2 years with the possibility of engaging in commercial activities.
