One of the most common questions foreigners ask before traveling to Indonesia is whether they should apply for a Single Entry Tourist Visa or a Multiple Entry Visa.
Single Entry Tourist Visa allows you to enter Indonesia once for tourism purposes. Once you leave Indonesia, the visa is no longer valid. Multiple Entry Visa is one of visa types for travelers who expect to visit Indonesia several times. This visa type allows you to enter and leave Indonesia multiple times throughout its validity period.
Single Entry Tourist Visa
- Can only be used for 1 entry to Indonesia
- Foreign nationals are required to submit their visa application before entering the territory of Indonesia, except for nationals of countries eligible for Visa on Arrival (VoA) which becomes invalid once you leave Indonesia even if the validity period has not expired.
- Suitable for tourism, family visits, business visits, social activities, and other short-term purposes
Multiple Entry Visa
- Can be used for multiple entries during the visa validity period
- Foreign nationals are required to submit their visa application before entering the territory of Indonesia.

Final Thoughts
Every travel plan is different, which is why there’s no one-size-fits-all answer.
Rather than choosing a visa based on its name or how long it’s valid for, think about how you’ll actually use it. Are you planning one extended stay in Bali, or do you expect to travel in and out of Indonesia several times?
That single question is often enough to point you toward the right visa. And if you’re still weighing your options, our team at E-Visa Bali is here to help you make the decision with confidence.
