So how to live in Bali for a whole year with one visa and save more than $300 on extensions?

Sunrise Visa Agency is on air. In this article, we have prepared a few tips that will help you not only live in Bali for a whole year on one visa, but also save a lot of money on extensions!

Have you been living in Bali for a long time and you are tired of visa runs? Have you just arrived but already realize that Bali is your place of strength and you want to stay longer? Maybe you're planning to start a business in Indonesia and want to immerse yourself more in the island's atmosphere and understand where the best places to invest are? 💼

Either way, you definitely need a long term visa!

"But why? After all, I can safely visa run every 60 days and apply for a visa on arrival," you might say.

Unfortunately, you cannot anymore. And there are two reasons for that.

Reason №1 - Indonesia has tightened the legislation on visa runs. Now you may not be allowed to enter the country after the first visa, justifying it by the fact that if you want to live in Indonesia for more than 30 days - get a long-term visa to avoid possible problems.

Reason №2 - Now, to apply for a new visa, you must first close the "current" visa. Consequently, you can only start the procedure for a new visa when you are already in another country.

What is the solution? In fact, with the new visas in 2024, it is now possible to stay in Bali even longer and cheaper. We will tell you how.

Step-by-step algorithm on how to live in Bali for a year, spending only $449 on a visa

Apply for a D12 visa for a year for only $449. You can read more about the D12 visa and why you should apply for it with us rather than trusting unverified agents in this article:

In short, the D12 is a one or two year multi-visa that gives you up to 180 days of stay each time you arrive in the country. It allows you to fly in and out the country as many times as you like. It's a multi-visa, so each time you fly out, the stay countdown starts again! ✈️

Thus, you have issued a D12 visa and live peacefully for six months, without thinking about extensions, without giving your passport to anyone and without visiting the immigration office.

There are two options to live in Bali for another six months:

Option №1 is to extend this visa for $350 without leaving Bali. It is perfect for those who do not want to spend even one day and leave Bali.

Option №2 is a one-day visa run to Kuala Lumpur. Just buy the cheapest tickets and fly in one day (round trip). 🛫

Thanks to the fact that you have a D12 visa, you do not need to buy return tickets and prove to immigration officers the reasons for your long-term stay.

What's more, you don't even need to queue. There are new electronic terminals at Denpasar airport - autogates. Just scan your passport and there you are in the paradise island of Bali for another 179 days! 🌞

Compared to the same 211A visa that needs to be extended every 60 days for $160, that's an incredible savings. 💰

Best of all, you'll definitely protect yourself from deportation as there will be no "why are you living in Bali for so long?" questions for you with this visa.

Also, don't forget that you can combine getting a visa with traveling and exploring a new country. 🌏

For those who want to live in Bali for 2 years, you can apply for a D12 for 2 years. However, in this case, you will still have to visa run every 180 days.
