C1 tourist visa for Bali: 60 days with extensions up to six months
C1 is for those who come to Bali for two months or more and do not plan to fly out often. How it works, what immigration requires, how much it costs with us and when the visa on arrival or D12 is a better choice.
The C1 visa for Bali is Indonesia's single-entry tourist visa for 60 days from the date of entry, arranged before your flight. Under the immigration rules it is extended up to 180 days in total. There is no separate 90-day tourist visa in Indonesia: 90 days means C1 plus one extension. With us C1 costs IDR 3 million and each 60-day extension IDR 2.6 million. Leave the country on C1 and the visa is gone: for frequent trips you need the D12 multiple-entry visa.

What the C1 visa is
C1 is Indonesia's tourist visa; before the indices changed it was called B211. Under the immigration rules it covers tourism, visiting friends and family, business meetings and medical treatment. It gives 60 days from the date of entry and is single entry: one entry, and it is gone when you leave. For entry, the visa is valid for 90 days from the date of issue.
The main difference from the visa on arrival: twice the stay and more extensions. The main difference from D12: a single entry.
C1, B211 and D1: do not mix them up
Older articles and chats call the tourist visa B211 or B211A: that was its name before the indices changed, now it is C1. D1 is a different visa: a multiple-entry tourist visa for 1, 2 or 5 years, every entry gives 60 days with extensions up to 180, bank statement from USD 2,000 (D1 page on imigrasi.go.id, checked on 8 November 2026). If someone writes about a «tourist multiple-entry visa», it is D1 or D12: C1 is always single entry. D1, D2 and D12 are compared on the D12 page.
Who it suits
- You are coming for three months or more and do not plan to fly out often
- You want to stay longer than the 30 days of the visa on arrival without a visa run
- You spend the winter in Bali in one go: 60 days and the extensions bring it up to six months
It does not suit you if you plan to travel: after leaving you need a new visa. Then take the D12 multiple-entry visa, it has unlimited trips abroad.
Immigration requirements
From the C1 page on the immigration website imigrasi.go.id, checked on 8 November 2026:
