Do Israelis need a visa for Indonesia (Bali)?
Yes — and it's complex. There's no visa-on-arrival for an Israeli passport; a visa must be obtained in advance under the 'calling visa' process, which involves prior immigration approval and sometimes a sponsor. Entry is only via approved airports.
Permitted stay: Up to 30 days, per the visa
What is Indonesia's 'calling visa'?
Israel is on Indonesia's 'calling visa' list — a category requiring pre-screening and approval by the immigration authority in Jakarta before any visa can be issued. The process takes longer than a regular visa, usually requires a local sponsor, and approval is not guaranteed.
