Who it is for, how long you can stay, and what you need to know.

Two months, four months or six months - you can decide how long to stay as your plans develop.
Over 100,000 C1 visas in six months. Why do people choose it?
Indonesia, January-June 2026.
According to official statistics, 113,323 C1 visas were issued in the first half of 2026.
One of the main benefits of C1 is flexibility. You can plan a longer stay in Bali without deciding on the full six months at the start.
You do not need to plan all six months now
C1 gives you an initial stay of 60 days from the date you enter with this visa.
You can then apply for two extensions of 60 days each. With approved extensions, you can stay in Bali for up to 180 days in total without leaving the country between extensions.
