💡 Quick Answer

Traveling to Bali with kids? Does your child need their own visa, can the family queue together on arrival? This guide answers both, with fees to expect.

Bottom line: There is no special child visa — whether it’s an infant, toddler, or adult, the whole family applies for the same electronic visa (e-VOA), with the same fee of Rp 500,000, valid for 30 days and extendable once. It’s strongly recommended that the entire family apply for the e-visa in advance rather than getting a visa on arrival at the airport: the on-site queue for a visa on arrival can take 30 minutes to over an hour, and waiting with a tired child is exhausting; if you apply for the e-visa at home before departure, you can go straight to the automated gate upon arrival and complete immigration in 3 minutes.

Can a Two-Year-Old Apply for an E-Visa?

Great news! A two-year-old can apply for an Indonesian e-visa (e-VOA).

Indonesia’s e-visa system has no age restrictions. Whether it’s an infant, toddler, or adult, everyone can apply for an e-visa online before departure. This means you can pre-arrange e-visas for the whole family (including your two-year-old), saving a lot of time queuing at the airport.

Advantages of the E-Visa

Apply in advance: Complete the application at home before departure, no need to crowd at the airport
Time-saving convenience: Go straight to the automated gate upon arrival (if eligible) and complete immigration in under three minutes
Same fee: The e-visa costs the same as a visa on arrival, 500,000 Indonesian rupiah
Valid for 30 days: Extendable once, for a total stay of up to 60 days

Should the Whole Family Choose an E-Visa or Visa on Arrival?

Recommendation: Apply for E-Visas for the Whole Family

While it is technically possible for the whole family to apply for a visa on arrival together, it is strongly recommended that all family members apply for an e-visa in advance. Here’s why:

Disadvantages of Visa on Arrival:

You need to queue at the airport to apply, with uncertain waiting times
During peak season or when multiple flights arrive at once, you may wait 30 minutes to over an hour
Standing in long lines with tired children makes for an exhausting start to the trip
You need to have cash or a credit card ready for payment on-site

Advantages of the E-Visa:

Apply in advance for peace of mind
Use the automated clearance system (applicable for children aged 6 and above) for a quick and convenient process
Even if your child is under 6 and cannot use automated clearance, there is a dedicated fast lane
Avoid long queues at the airport with your children

Automated Clearance System (for ages 6 and up)

Currently, children aged 6 and above can use the airport’s automated clearance gates. If your child is 6 or older, congratulations—the whole family can use automated clearance, and the entire process takes less than three minutes!

Airport staff are very friendly. As soon as you get off the plane, someone will ask if you have applied for an e-visa and guide you to the automated clearance area. The process is simple: scan your passport, facial recognition, and you’re through.

目前6歲以上的兒童就可以使用機場的自動通關門。如果你的孩子已滿6歲，恭喜你，全家人都可以使用自動通關，整個過程不到三分鐘就能完成！

機場工作人員非常友善，一下飛機就會有人詢問是否已申請電子簽證，並引導你前往自動通關區域。自動通關的流程簡單：掃描護照、臉部辨識、通關完成。

What About Children Under 6?

If your child is under 6 (for example, a two-year-old), they can’t use the automated gates, but there’s absolutely no need to worry!

Real experience shows:

Parents can first use the automated gates for quick entry
Customs officers will immediately assist and take the child to a dedicated counter for processing
This dedicated counter is highly efficient, with no waiting in line at all
Parents wait nearby at the counter, and it’s done in just a few minutes
Overall, it’s still much faster than the whole family queuing for a visa on arrival

One parent visiting Bali shared: “When the customs officer saw that only one child in our family couldn’t use the automated gates, they immediately led the little one to a dedicated counter nearby. It was very efficient, with absolutely no queuing.”
