The Bali Immigration Consultation is a paid, private 45-minute session — by video call or WhatsApp — with a Bali immigration consultant from our team, designed for people whose situation is too complicated for a generic guide. In one structured conversation you get an eligibility assessment across every current Indonesian visa track (B1, C1, D1 and the E-class residence permits), a review of your documents, and a written roadmap you can act on immediately, whether you continue with us or not.

Most of the guides on this site are free, and for a straightforward Visa on Arrival or a single 30-day extension they are usually all you need. This session exists for everything else: overstay history, mixed-nationality families, switching from one visa track to another mid-stay, remote workers unsure whether they even need a work-linked permit, and anyone who has received conflicting answers from agents, forums and embassy pages and wants one clear, accountable plan.

What the Consultation Is — and What It Is Not

This is a strategy session, not a sales call. You book a fixed 45-minute slot, we prepare using the intake form you complete beforehand, and the call is spent entirely on your case. You do not need to buy any further service afterwards, and the written roadmap you receive is yours to use with any provider — including going directly to the immigration office yourself.

It is also not legal representation. We are an immigration services and information team, not a law firm. Where your case genuinely requires a licensed Indonesian advocate or notary — for example contested sponsorship, deportation proceedings, or company structuring questions attached to an investor permit — we say so plainly during the call and, if you wish, coordinate the handover to licensed partners rather than improvising outside our lane.

Who This Session Is For

Book a consultation if any of the following sounds like you:

If your question is simply "which visa fits a normal trip", start with our free side-by-side visa comparison — it may answer you in five minutes at no cost. The consultation is for when the comparison table is not enough.

Complicated or unusual cases. Dual citizenship questions, prior visa refusals, name mismatches across documents, passports expiring mid-application, or nationality-specific restrictions that make standard checklists unreliable.
Overstay history. Indonesia's overstay fine is IDR 1,000,000 per day, and a past overstay — even a short, paid one — can affect how you should structure your next entry. We help you understand where you stand and how to re-enter cleanly.
Mixed-nationality families. One partner eligible for visa-free entry, the other needing a C1; children on different passports; a foreign spouse of an Indonesian citizen weighing a family KITAS against repeated visit visas. These cases almost always benefit from being planned as one household strategy rather than four separate applications.
Switching visa tracks. Moving from repeated tourist entries to a proper long stay visa, from a C1 visit visa toward a KITAS, or from a work-sponsored permit to an investor or retirement route. The order of operations matters, and getting it wrong can mean leaving the country to restart.
Long-horizon planners. Remote workers, retirees and second-home candidates comparing the digital nomad route, the retirement visa, the second home visa and the golden visa before committing money to any of them.

What You Receive: Deliverables

Every session includes three concrete deliverables. This is the substance of what you are paying for:

1. Full eligibility assessment across all current tracks

We map your nationality, purpose, timeline and history against the 2026 visa structure: B1 visa-free entry and Visa on Arrival (30 days, one 30-day extension, 60 days maximum), the C1 single-entry visit visa (60 days, extendable up to 180 days total), D1/D2 multiple-entry visit visas (1, 2 or 5-year validity), and the E-class residence permits — work KITAS, investor KITAS, family KITAS, retirement, second home, golden visa and the digital nomad route, through to KITAP for long-term residents. You leave knowing which tracks you qualify for today, which you could qualify for with preparation, and which are closed to you.

2. Document review

Send your key documents through the secure intake form before the call — passport bio page, current visa or stay permit, and anything relevant to your target track (bank statements, sponsorship letters, marriage or birth certificates). We flag expired validity, missing legalizations, inconsistencies between documents, and anything an immigration officer is likely to question, before you submit anything officially.

3. Written roadmap

Within two working days of the call you receive a written summary: the recommended track, the step-by-step sequence, the documents to prepare, realistic timelines, the official government fees involved (for reference, the VOA and its extension are each IDR 500,000 at the official rate), and clearly separated service fees if you choose to have us handle the process. The roadmap also notes which steps happen online via the official e-visa portal (evisa.imigrasi.go.id) and which require a physical visit to an immigration office in Denpasar (Renon), Ngurah Rai Airport or Singaraja.

How the 45 Minutes Are Structured

The session follows a fixed shape so no time is wasted: roughly ten minutes confirming the facts of your case from your intake form, twenty minutes working through eligible tracks and the trade-offs between them, ten minutes on documents and sequencing, and the final five minutes agreeing what goes into your written roadmap. If your case needs a licensed legal partner, we identify that during the call and explain exactly what the handover involves.

Consultation Fees (Indicative)

Fees below are indicative and confirmed when you book; payment is taken in advance to secure your slot. All figures are per session, not per person on the call.

Session	Length	Indicative fee	Includes
Standard consultation	45 minutes	From USD 75	Eligibility assessment, document review, written roadmap
Priority consultation (within 2 working days)	45 minutes	From USD 95	Everything in Standard, expedited scheduling
Couple / family session	60 minutes	From USD 110	Everything in Standard, covering up to four family members as one strategy

The fee is credited in full if you proceed with any full visa or permit service through us within 30 days of your session — so if you continue, the consultation effectively costs nothing. Full service fees for each visa track are listed on our pricing page, and complex cases are quoted individually on request after the call.

Why Book This With Bali Immigration

Bali Immigration is part of Juara Holding Group, an Indonesian group operating in Bali travel and expatriate services since 2015. The consultation draws on the same team that maintains the visa guides on this site and handles day-to-day visa, extension and permit work for travellers and residents — so the advice you get reflects how the process actually runs at Bali's immigration offices this year, not how it ran three regulation changes ago. Where a case needs capabilities beyond immigration paperwork — secure transport, relocation logistics, or concierge support on arrival — we route it through our sister brand Bali Premium Trip rather than pretending to do everything ourselves.

Important Disclaimer

This consultation, and everything published on this site, is general information and process guidance — it is not legal advice, tax advice or financial advice. Indonesian immigration regulations change frequently, individual cases vary, and final decisions on any visa or stay permit rest solely with the Directorate General of Immigration. Where your situation requires formal legal representation, we coordinate with licensed Indonesian partners rather than acting as lawyers ourselves. Always verify current requirements with the official e-visa portal, the immigration office, or a licensed professional before making decisions that depend on them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the consultation be done entirely over WhatsApp?

Yes. Many clients prefer a scheduled WhatsApp call, and the intake form, document review and written roadmap all work the same way. Video is only recommended when we need to walk through documents together on screen.

What if my case turns out to be simple?

Then the call is short and decisive: we tell you which track to use, confirm your documents are in order, and your roadmap doubles as a checklist. If we can see from your intake form that a free guide fully answers your question, we will say so before you pay.

Is the fee really credited if I continue with a full service?

Yes — the full consultation fee is deducted from any visa or permit service you book with us within 30 days of the session. The credit applies once, to one service, and cannot be exchanged for cash.

Can you guarantee my visa will be approved?

No, and you should be cautious of anyone who says otherwise. Approval decisions belong exclusively to Indonesian immigration authorities. What we can do is make sure you apply under the right track, with complete and consistent documents, in the correct sequence — which is where most avoidable refusals come from.

I have an active overstay right now. Should I still book?

Yes — sooner rather than later. An active overstay accrues IDR 1,000,000 per day and the options narrow the longer it runs. Mention it in your first message and we will prioritise scheduling; see our overstay guide for the immediate basics while you wait.

General visa questions are covered in our main FAQ; the questions below are specific to the consultation itself.
