Do you need a visa for Bali from South Africa?

Okay, so you’re wondering about whether you need a visa for Bali if you’re from South Africa, right? Well, good news! If you’re planning a trip that’s shorter than 30 days, you actually don’t need to stress about getting a visa beforehand.

Think of it like this: Indonesia, including Bali, offers South African citizens a visa-on-arrival (VOA) for those shorter trips. This means you can just hop off the plane at either Soekarno-Hatta Airport in Jakarta or, more likely, Ngurah Rai Airport in Bali (because, let’s be honest, who goes to Jakarta when Bali is an option? ????) and get your visa sorted right there.

I remember the first time I went, I was so worried about getting everything organized beforehand. I was picturing myself stuck at the airport but it turned out to be super easy! It was so much more relaxed than I’d expected, which was a relief.

Of course, this is just if you plan on staying in Bali for less than 30 days. If you’re thinking of a longer vacation, then you will need to start figuring out the visa situation beforehand. But for a quick getaway? You’re all set with the visa-on-arrival!
