“PIMPASA Bali” sits inside the Sanur Special Economic Zone (SEZ) for health tourism, so patients and healthcare providers usually combine KEK Sanur facilities with standard Indonesian visas rather than a separate “PIMPASA visa.” What you actually use are existing visa categories adapted for medical treatment, business setup, or employment under the health tourism scheme.
Below is a practical 2026 guide based on current Indonesian immigration rules and official fee structures.

1. What “PIMPASA Bali” Really Means for Your Visa Strategy
PIMPASA operates within the Sanur Health SEZ, which was formally established by Government Regulation (Peraturan Pemerintah) No. 41 of 2022 on the Sanur Special Economic Zone in Denpasar, Bali (verified fact: https://jdih.setneg.go.id/Produk). That regulation sets Sanur as a zone for health, tourism, and supporting services, but it does not create a new visa class; instead, foreign patients and professionals still use standard immigration categories such as e‑VOA (B1), single‑entry visit visas (C1/C2), or limited stay permits (ITAS/KITAS) depending on purpose and length of stay (general practice based on current visa framework in PP No. 31 of 2013 and its amendments).
For most medical tourists attending PIMPASA‑related hospitals in Sanur, the practical choice is:
- Short treatment or check‑ups under 60 days: e‑Visa on Arrival (e‑VOA, B1).
- Treatment up to 180 days or multiple visits: single‑entry C1 or multiple‑entry D1 tourist/medical visit visa.
- Foreign doctors, nurses, technicians joining PIMPASA: work‑based ITAS (KITAS) sponsored by the hospital or operating company.
The SEZ status mainly helps with investment, licensing, and customs; visa rules still come from immigration law and Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham) regulations.

2. Choosing the Right Visa Type for PIMPASA Bali in 2026
Indonesia reorganized visit visas in 2023–2024 under the new visa coding system (B1, C1, C2, D1, D2, etc.), as reflected in the Directorate General of Immigration’s official e‑visa system at https://evisa.imigrasi.go.id (verified fact: Indonesian e‑visa categories and applications are processed via evisa.imigrasi.go.id, operated by Direktorat Jenderal Imigrasi, Kemenkumham). Health‑related stays for PIMPASA usually fit into one of these:
For foreign patients:
- **e‑Visa on Arrival (B1)**
– Stay: up to 30 days, extendable once to 60 days total (verified fact: the Directorate General of Immigration describes e‑VOA as valid 30 days and extendable once via evisa.imigrasi.go.id and immigration offices).
– Uses: tourism, short medical consultations, check‑ups.
– Eligible nationalities: about 90–100 countries; list published by Immigration and periodically updated at https://www.imigrasi.go.id (verified fact: immigration publishes VoA‑eligible countries on imigrasi.go.id).
- **Single‑Entry Tourist Visa (C1)**
– Stay: up to 60 days on arrival, extendable up to 180 days in total via two 60‑day extensions (verified fact: visit visa C1/C2 extension rules are set in Minister of Law and Human Rights Regulation/Permenkumham No. 22 of 2023 on Visas and Stay Permits, accessible via https://peraturan.go.id or https://jdih.kemenkumham.go.id).
– Uses: longer treatment plans, recovery, family accompaniment.
For business and professional activity inside KEK Sanur:
- **Single‑Entry Business Visit Visa (C2)**
– Use: meetings, negotiations, training, short‑term non‑paid activities with PIMPASA partners.
- **Multiple‑Entry Visit Visas (D1/D2)**
– Use: frequent travel to Bali over a year for repeated consultations, follow‑up treatments, or business development.
When a PIMPASA hospital or clinic formally employs foreign medical staff, the sponsor will arrange a limited stay visa (VITAS) leading to ITAS/KITAS under the manpower and health‑professional categories set out in Law No. 6 of 2011 on Immigration and its implementing regulations (verified fact: Law No. 6/2011 regulates stay permits, including ITAS and ITAP, text at https://jdih.kemenkumham.go.id).

3. Current 2025–2026 Visa Costs Relevant to PIMPASA Bali
Official government fees for visas are set in Government Regulation (PP) No. 28 of 2019 on Types and Tariffs of Non‑Tax State Revenue (PNBP) in the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, which defines the core visa tariff of IDR 500,000 for Visa on Arrival (verified fact: PP No. 28/2019 lists the Visa on Arrival immigration fee at Rp500.000, text via https://jdih.setneg.go.id or https://peraturan.bpk.go.id). Online platforms and private agencies charge higher bundled prices because they include service and payment processing.
For reference, Bali‑based visa agencies quoting 2025–2026 pricing show:
- **Official Visa on Arrival fee:** IDR 500,000 if paid directly at the airport or via the government e‑VOA portal (verified fact: eVisa Bali and Visa‑Indonesia cite the official immigration fee for VOA at IDR 500,000, e.g., https://balivisasagency.com and https://visa-indonesia.com).
- **Typical agency prices for popular visas (all‑in, including immigration fee):**

4. Step‑by‑Step: e‑VOA (B1) for Short PIMPASA Visits
For a brief health consultation or initial screening at a PIMPASA partner hospital, an e‑VOA keeps the process simple.
Step 1 – Check eligibility and passport
- Confirm your nationality is on the e‑VOA list at the Directorate General of Immigration website: https://www.imigrasi.go.id and then via the e‑VOA portal link (verified fact: DGI publishes VoA‑eligible nationalities and directs to the e‑VOA portal).
- Make sure your passport is valid at least 6 months beyond arrival and has one empty page; this requirement is repeatedly stated in official and agency guidance (verified fact: passport validity and one blank page requirement cited at https://visa-indonesia.com/indonesia-visa-info).
Step 2 – Apply online
- Go to https://evisa.imigrasi.go.id and create an account.
- Select the e‑Visa on Arrival (B1) product.
- Upload:
– Passport bio page
– Recent photo
– Return or onward ticket proof (general practice, as immigration and airlines commonly require proof of onward travel; see explanation at https://visa-indonesia.com/indonesia-visa-info).
Step 3 – Pay the fee
- Pay IDR 500,000 plus the payment processor fee shown on the portal (verified fact: official e‑VOA fee is IDR 500,000 according to PP 28/2019 and reconfirmed by multiple agency summaries, e.g., https://balivisasagency.com and https://visa-indonesia.com).
- Processing usually takes 1–3 working days according to immigration and agency experience; this timeframe is advertised by multiple licensed agents (general practice as communicated at https://visa-indonesia.com and https://flado.id).
Step 4 – Arrival and extension
- Present your e‑VOA at Bali’s Ngurah Rai International Airport. The officer will stamp 30 days.
- If your treatment at PIMPASA requires more time, you can extend once at a local immigration office in Denpasar or via an agent, adding 30 days for a total of 60 days, as permitted by Permenkumham No. 22/2023 for B1 visit visas (verified fact: single extension for VOA/e‑VOA is regulated in Permenkumham No. 22/2023, available through https://jdih.kemenkumham.go.id).

5. Step‑by‑Step: C1 Visit Visa for Longer Treatment at PIMPASA
If your PIMPASA treatment plan lasts more than 60 days, a single‑entry C1 visit visa is usually more appropriate.
Step 1 – Confirm category and sponsor
Permenkumham No. 22 of 2023 groups visit visas by purpose, including tourism and other non‑work activities, and allows sponsorship by individuals, companies, or institutions in Indonesia (verified fact: Permenkumham 22/2023 on visas and stay permits defines visit visa sponsorship; see https://jdih.kemenkumham.go.id). For a medical stay, your sponsor can be:
- A licensed Bali‑based travel/visa agency
- A hospital or clinic located inside KEK Sanur (PIMPASA partner)
Step 2 – Gather documents
Typical documents requested by sponsors for C1 include (general practice, aligning with patterns described by agencies like Flado Indonesia at https://flado.id and official visa outlines):
- Passport valid ≥ 6 months
- Recent passport‑style photo
- Bank statement showing sufficient funds
- Return or onward ticket
- Sponsor letter and identification (handled by the sponsor)
Step 3 – Application through sponsor
- Your sponsor submits the online application through https://evisa.imigrasi.go.id, attaching your documents and their guarantee letter.
- Immigration issues an electronic C1 visa; you do not need to visit an Indonesian embassy for stamping, as confirmed by the e‑Visa system description published by Kemenkumham and summarized by licensed agencies like Flado (verified fact: e‑visa process does not require embassy visit; see explanation at https://flado.id).
Step 4 – Length of stay and extensions
- On arrival, C1 typically grants 60 days.
- Permenkumham No. 22/2023 allows up to two extensions of 60 days each for C1/C2, giving a maximum stay of 180 days per entry (verified fact: C1/C2 extension limits specified in Permenkumham 22/2023, text via https://jdih.kemenkumham.go.id).
- You must submit extension requests no later than 7 days before expiry at the local immigration office in Bali; this deadline is reflected in official guidance an
