Bali visa if you live in France

A French address or residence permit does not replace passport nationality. Indonesia checks the travel passport, while French or Schengen documents may matter for your return journey.

The short answer

Your travel passport determines the Indonesian route; living in France does not change it.

French ordinary passport holders are eligible for B1 e-VOA. Other passports may qualify for different routes, so check the passport you will present before booking or applying.

Which visa does your passport need?

This guide shows EUR starting references and selected passport examples. The route follows the passport used to travel, not place of birth or residence. Prices are fixed in EUR on this page and do not change with the header currency selector; the written quote confirms the current route and exact total.

INSEE reports Moroccan and Tunisian residents as a combined group; this page does not split that count. INSEE’s 2025 estimates report foreign residents by nationality. Some published categories combine nationalities (including Moroccan and Tunisian residents), and French citizens are not in the foreign-national table. The figures describe residents, not Bali travel demand; combined groups are not split into unsupported passport rows. Actual eligibility follows the passport you will travel on. Check the published passport lists.

Starting references are approximate conversions from the published VBS tiers: 1 USD = 0.897215 EUR (checked 29 October 2026). The B1/C1 reference includes the listed visa fee and assistance tier; third-party payment charges, extensions and Bali’s tourist levy may be separate. We confirm the current scope, currency and payable total in writing before you pay.

Does living in France change your Bali visa?

A visa, work permit or residence card issued by France does not give you the Indonesian visa access of a French passport holder. Indonesia checks the passport you present for the application and at entry.

If you hold more than one passport, tell us which one you will use. Keep that passport consistent for the application, airline check-in and entry to Indonesia.

Returning to France

French citizens should travel on a valid French passport. Non-EU residents returning to the Schengen area should check that they have a valid passport and applicable residence permit or long-stay visa. Requirements vary with nationality and status; use the official French guidance for your situation.

Before you travel from France to Bali

Check the passport used for Indonesia and the travel document or residence card needed to return to France. If you transit outside the Schengen area, check that country’s transit rules too; an Indonesia visa does not cover the transit stop.

Check Indonesia’s official e-Visa portal for current passport validity, onward-ticket and document requirements. Immigration makes the final entry decision.

Bali visa prices from France

Published starting references are €36 for B1 and €90 for C1 in EUR. Visa-free passports do not pay an Indonesian visa fee for the eligible short visit. Your final total depends on the route, current government charge and supporting work; we send it in writing before payment.

The local-currency figures are fixed to this residence guide, not the header display setting. Exchange rates and official fees can change, so treat them as starting estimates.

Bali visa questions from France residents

Passport eligibility, local return documents, EUR starting references and our review process.

Why does the France guide not split every origin group?

INSEE publishes some nationalities together, including Moroccan and Tunisian residents. We keep those combined figures intact rather than invent separate passport counts.

Do French passport holders need a visa for Bali?

French ordinary passports are included on Indonesia’s published B1 Visa on Arrival list. B1 allows up to 30 days initially and may be extended once, subject to current rules.

Does my French residence card change my Indonesian visa?

No. Indonesia checks your travel passport. A valid French or Schengen residence document may matter when returning to France, depending on your nationality and status.

How much does Bali visa assistance cost in euros?

The starting references are approximate EUR conversions of the published VBS tiers using a dated rate. Your written quote confirms the current route and exact payable total before payment.

Can a Turkish passport holder living in France visit visa-free?

Türkiye is listed for Indonesia’s visa-free visit facility for eligible visits up to 30 days, which is not extendable. Verify the current official list and conditions before travel.

Do I pay when I submit a review request?

No. We review the documents and route first. If we can proceed, we email the written scope and a secure payment link.
