Bali has been one of the world’s most beloved travel destinations. Millions of visitors set foot on the island each year to enjoy the endless sunshine, rich culture, world-class surf breaks, and natural beauty. If you’re planning a trip to this Indonesian paradise, make sure to stay updated with the latest Bali entry requirements to ensure a smooth arrival.
Here are some things you’ll need to prepare before your journey.
Visa requirements
If you’re coming from outside Indonesia, check if you need a visa to enter.
Passport holders from the following countries are visa exempt:
- Cambodia
- Malaysia
- Singapore
- Philippines
- Thailand
- Brunei Darussalam
- Lao PDR
- Vietnam
- Colombia
- Suriname
- Hong Kong
If you are not a passport holder of the above countries, you can either apply for a visa from your home country or obtain a Visa On Arrival (VOA) at the Bali airport.
A VOA will allow you to stay in the country for 30 days with the possibility of extending your stay once. Extensions can be applied for through Bali’s Immigration Office.
Indonesia offers VOA for passport holders from 97 countries, so do check if you’re eligible for one before flying.
Tourism levy
Another Bali entry requirement is the tourism levy. Introduced in February 2024, this tourist tax costs Rp.150,000, or the equivalent of around US$9.
This fee contributes to the preservation of the island’s natural environments and tourist spots. You can pay before you leave for your trip via the Love Bali website or app.
Customs declaration form
Make your way through customs quicker by completing the declaration form beforehand. As with any destination, a customs declaration form is a part of Bali’s entry requirements. This can be filled electronically through ecd.beacukai.go.id. Alternatively, you can also scan the customs barcode when you reach arrivals at the airport.
Autogate entry
For a more seamless arrival experience, the Bali airport has installed automated gates in the international terminal.
To use these gates, Bali entry requirements state your passport must be an electronic passport, valid for at least 6 months, and carry an approved e-visa for Indonesia.
Health pass form
As part of the initiative to ensure safer travels in Indonesia, the country requires visitors to declare their travel history and health condition in the SATUSEHAT Health Pass.
Fill in the form at sshp.kemkes.go.id within 72 hours of your departure. Once completed, you will receive a QR code to show upon arrival.
Once you’ve followed these requirements and made it through customs and immigration, you’re free to explore the island! Bali is teeming with nature spots and activities for every kind of traveler – from the thrill-seeker to those who seek to kick back and relax.
