HKSAR vs BNO Passport — Bali Visa 2026 Complete Guide
HKSAR (Hong Kong SAR) passport holders get 30-day visa-free entry to Bali, no fee, no pre-application. BNO (British National Overseas) holders need an e-VOA (USD 35, ≈ HKD 275) at evisa.imigrasi.go.id. Everyone pays the Indonesian tourist levy (IDR 150,000) and submits the All Indonesia eArrival card.
