Indonesia eVisa for Hong Kong Citizens

Yes. HKSAR passport holders need a visa for tourism, business, or transit through immigration. Bali is a province of Indonesia (in the way Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of China), so the same eVOA applies whether you land at Denpasar (DPS), Jakarta (CGK), or Lombok (LOP). BNO passport holders should use the UK page instead.

All-in USD pricing: Standard $99 (72 business hours), Priority $139 (48 hours), Express $179 (12 hours). One transparent fee, no add-ons, no FX surprise on the statement.

Yes. Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, UnionPay, JCB, Apple Pay, and Google Pay all process cleanly in USD. HSBC, Hang Seng, BoCHK, Citi, Standard Chartered, and DBS cards all work. AlipayHK and FPS are HKD-domestic and not supported.

The eVOA is valid for 90 days from the date of issue, which is your window to enter Indonesia. Once you arrive, you can stay 30 days. Single entry. Extendable once in-country for another 30 days, taking total stay to 60 days.

The eVOA is fully active at Ngurah Rai (Bali / DPS) and Soekarno-Hatta (Jakarta / CGK), the two airports nearly all HK itineraries route through. It is also accepted at Yogyakarta (YIA), Surabaya (SUB), Lombok (LOP), Manado, Medan, Batam, Bintan, and other authorised entry points across Indonesia.

Most tourist zones, including Bali, Lombok, Yogyakarta, and Java, currently sit outside the HK Outbound Travel Alert system. Remote zones in Papua and parts of Sulawesi may carry separate notices. Check sb.gov.hk before flying.

Travel insurance is not required, but Cathay and most HK credit-card cover is limited and capped. A medical evacuation from Bali can run into the tens of thousands of dollars, so most HK travellers add a Bowtie, AXA, or HSBC travel cover.

No, all three are HKD-domestic. For warungs, Bluebird taxis, and markets you'll need IDR cash from any Bali ATM. Apple Pay and Google Pay work at most cafes and larger shops.

If you stay airside in the international transit area without passing immigration, you do not need an Indonesian visa. If you exit immigration in Indonesia for any reason, including overnight layovers in Jakarta or Bali, you do. The eVOA covers transit purposes too, so when in doubt, get the eVOA.

No, they are separate. The eVOA is your entry visa to Indonesia. The Bali Tourism Levy is a separate IDR 150,000 (approximately $10 USD) fee charged by the province of Bali to all international visitors. We do not collect or process the levy. Pay it directly at lovebali.baliprov.go.id before you fly, or at the DPS arrival kiosk.

Yes. The eVOA can be extended once in-country for another 30 days, taking total stay to 60 days. Extensions require an online filing plus an in-person biometric appointment at a local Indonesian immigration office. Useful for HK travellers who turn a long weekend into a workation in Canggu.

Apply 3 to 5 days before your flight. Processing takes 12 to 72 business hours depending on tier. Around CNY, Easter, Mid-Autumn, and Christmas long weekends, applying a week ahead is sensible because last-minute volume spikes alongside Cathay seat prices.

Denials are rare (around 2%) thanks to our pre-submission expert review. If Indonesian immigration declines your file, our team walks you through the reason in writing and advises whether a re-application makes sense. See our refund policy for the details.
