🇮🇩 Denpasar (Bali)Singapore 🇸🇬

Bali → Singapore is Indonesia's most-used visa run flight route for B211A / C1 (60-day tourist visa) or B211B / C317 (visitor stay visa) renewal. Since 2023 Indonesia has tightened visa rules requiring physical exit for extension — a 3-day Singapore mini-trip renews your Indonesian visa cleanly. Round-trip AirAsia + Scoot flights $150-350. Singapore is expensive but weekend food/culture makes it worthwhile.

Frequently asked

Why Singapore and not Kuala Lumpur for Bali visa run?

Both work. Singapore is 30% more expensive but has better food + culture. KL is cheaper (~30% savings on flight + hotel) + still visa-free for Westerners. Digital nomads split between the two based on preference + flight prices.

Do I need to actually stay in Singapore?

Yes for at least 24 hours — physical exit + re-entry stamps required. Same-day return flights don't reliably reset the visa (immigration officers sometimes reject).

B211A vs B211B — which visa needs the run?

B211A (60-day tourist): reset every 60 days via exit (this run). B211B (visitor stay, up to 6 months): can be extended in-country by immigration consultants without exit. Discuss with your visa agent.

Best flight airlines Bali-Singapore?

Scoot (Singapore Airlines LCC) — direct, reliable, best schedule. AirAsia — cheapest but less legroom. Jetstar — Australian LCC, moderate. Singapore Airlines main line — most comfortable but 2-3x price.
