BEFORE YOU ARRIVE

1. Complete your arrival declaration

All international travellers arriving in Indonesia need to complete the All Indonesia electronic customs declaration.

You can complete it online within 3 days of travelling. We recommend doing it before you leave home so you have everything ready when you land..

2. Check whether you need a visa

Your visa requirements depend on your nationality and how long you plan to stay in Indonesia. For a holiday in Bali, these are the options most relevant to our guests:

B1 Visa Free Entry
Citizens of certain countries can enter Indonesia without a visa for tourism for up to 30 days. This entry cannot be extended.

B1 Visa on Arrival (VoA)
For eligible nationalities, the B1 VoA allows an initial stay of 30 days and can be extended once for another 30 days, giving a maximum stay of 60 days. The fee is IDR 500,000. You can apply for an electronic VoA before travelling or simply purchase the visa on arrival at the airport.

C1 Tourist Visa
If you’re planning a longer holiday, the C1 Tourist Visa allows an initial stay of 60 days and can be extended several times, up to a maximum of 180 days. The current visa fee is IDR 1,000,000

Visa rules and eligible nationalities can change, so we recommend checking the official Indonesian Immigration website before travelling.

3. Check your passport

Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your arrival date and you may need a return or onward ticket.

Make sure your passport is also in good condition. Torn, damaged or loose pages can result in you being refused boarding or entry.

OTHER USEFUL TIPS

1. Getting from the airport

Bali airport can be busy and chaotic, especially when you first arrive. To avoid confusion, waiting around and wasting time after a long flight, we recommend booking your airport transfer directly with your hotel.

2. Getting connected

A local SIM or eSIM makes getting around Bali much easier. Telkomsel generally offers the best coverage across Bali and Indonesia. There are kiosks at the airport where you can easily purchase one.

3. Money

There are a handful of ATMs at the airport, but if you need to exchange cash, you’ll generally find better rates outside the airport.

Cash or Cards? Cards are widely accepted at hotels, restaurants and larger businesses, but you’ll still want some Indonesian rupiah for smaller shops, local warungs, markets and parking.
