C1 Tourist Visa
Sixty days on entry, extendable twice for up to 180 days without leaving.
C1 Tourist Visa
The C1 is the workhorse visa for people who want a long Bali season without qualifying for the E33G. Applied for online before travel, it gives 60 days on arrival and can be extended twice in-country by 60 days each, for a maximum of 180 continuous days. It is still a tourist permit with no work rights, but for a six-month stay it beats stacking visa runs.

- Each extension needs biometrics in person at the local immigration office
- Leaving the country cancels the visa; it is single entry
