Visiting from abroad
Visa, permits for foreign nationals, and the nearest international gateway to Ubud (Bali)
Most nationalities can apply online for an e-Tourist Visa (30-day, 1-year or 5-year) instead of visiting an embassy. Apply at least 4 days before you fly; the 30-day visa can be applied for up to 30 days ahead, the longer ones up to 120 days ahead. Nationals of Nepal and Bhutan need no visa.
An e-Visa is valid for entry only at the designated international airports and seaports listed on the portal. Land borders are not on that list, so an overland arrival from Nepal or Bangladesh needs a regular visa.
Indian e-Visa portal (indianvisaonline.gov.in)No inner-line or protected-area permit regime is listed for Bali. Your visa covers the main tourist areas; districts along an international border can still run local checks, so carry your passport and a printed copy of the visa.
- Kolkata (CCU) - about 4,531 km straight-line
- Bhubaneswar (BBI) - about 4,538 km straight-line
Fly into the gateway, then use the domestic airports and transport listed above for the last leg. Road distance in the hills runs 1.3-1.6x the straight line.
Tourist SIMs (Airtel, Jio, Vi) are sold at international airport counters against your passport and visa; activation can take a few hours. Cards work in cities and larger towns; carry cash beyond them. UPI, the QR payment system you will see everywhere, normally needs an Indian bank account - some foreign visitors can get a prepaid "UPI One World" wallet at major airports.
Prices on this page are in Indian rupees. The currency selector in the footer shows estimates in yours.
