The government of Indonesia has changed its visa policy for international visitors, effective January 2010.

Visa on Arrival

The majority of visitors to Bali are able to obtain a visa on arrival. Obtaining your visa on arrival is simple and requires you to fill out a form and pay the fee. No photographs or additional documentation is required. With Pacific World this procedure is even easier – we whisk you off the plane, take your passport and fee from you, zoom you past the queues, fast-tracking the process so that you feel like royalty!
