Bali Entry Requirements: Visas, All Indonesia and Tourist Levy

Last fact-checked: 18 October 2026. Flying to Bali? Prepare your passport and entry permission, complete the All Indonesia arrival declaration, and check whether you must pay Bali’s tourist levy. These are separate requirements: a declaration or levy receipt does not replace a visa.

Before you fly: a practical checklist

• Check the visa or visa-exemption rules for your nationality, travel document, purpose and length of stay.
• Check passport validity and prepare your return or onward travel documents.
• Complete All Indonesia from three days before arrival and save its QR code.
• Pay the Bali tourist levy if it applies, or confirm the exemption requirements.
• Keep your travel documents and the separate declaration and levy records accessible.

1. Check your passport and choose the right entry permission

For ordinary national-passport holders using visa exemption or Visa on Arrival, Immigration’s published requirements include a passport valid for at least six months and a return or onward ticket. Different travel documents can have different conditions. Check your exact document and visa requirements through Indonesia’s official eVisa portal before booking. See Immigration’s visa requirements.

• Visa exemption: available to eligible nationalities, for a stay of up to 30 days that cannot be extended. Do not assume eligibility from an old country list. Check the Ngurah Rai Immigration guidance and official visa system.
• Visa on Arrival / e-VOA (B1): for eligible travelers, an initial stay of up to 30 days, with one extension allowing up to 60 days in total. Immigration lists the initial visa fee as IDR 500,000. Check the current application conditions and extension procedure before relying on a longer stay. Official B1 information.
• Tourism visit visa (C1): Immigration describes an initial stay of up to 60 days, with extensions up to a total of 180 days, subject to the applicable process. Apply for the permission matching your actual activities; do not assume a tourism visa permits work or volunteering. Official C1 information.

The deadline to use a visa for entry is different from the permitted length of stay after arrival. Check the conditions on your own visa and stay permission.

2. Complete All Indonesia for your international arrival

For arrivals by air or sea, Customs now directs passengers to All Indonesia, which combines immigration, customs, health and quarantine declarations. You can start from three days before your scheduled arrival in Indonesia. Complete the form and save the resulting QR code. Official Customs arrival guidance.

For a flight arriving from overseas into Bali, use this integrated process rather than following an old guide that tells you to complete a separate e-CD arrival form. Follow the form’s questions about your health, baggage and quarantine items accurately. The government states that All Indonesia is free to use. Official All Indonesia FAQ.

3. Check the Bali tourist levy and its exemptions

Bali’s foreign-tourist levy is IDR 150,000 for travelers who are required to pay. The provincial regulation covers foreign tourists reaching Bali directly from abroad or through another part of Indonesia. Payment is separate from visa fees. Use the official provincial Love Bali website and keep your payment record. Bali Provincial Regulation No. 2 of 2025.

It does not apply to every foreign visitor regardless of visa. Exempt categories include crew, KITAS/KITAP holders, diplomatic and official visa holders, family-unification visa holders and student visa holders. Love Bali distinguishes these categories, exempt without an application, from Golden Visa and other eligible visa holders who must apply and receive approval. Check the current exemption instructions before travel and keep the relevant evidence. Official exemption guidance.

The payment system may also work with authorized partners. If using an intermediary, distinguish government charges from service fees and confirm the payment record. Bali’s amended rules provide for systems integrated with Love Bali; they do not establish that every travel agent is an official partner. Bali Governor Regulation No. 25 of 2025.

4. At Ngurah Rai Airport

Follow the signs and officers’ instructions for immigration, baggage collection and customs. Ngurah Rai has immigration autogates; Immigration describes access for eligible foreign travelers with electronic passports and e-VOA/eVisa. Follow the current eligibility instructions at the airport and use an officer’s counter if directed. Do not plan around a guaranteed clearance time. Immigration’s Ngurah Rai autogate guidance.

Official services and private assistance

Start with eVisa for entry permission, All Indonesia for the arrival declaration, and Love Bali for the provincial levy. Private agents may offer application assistance, but their services are separate from government portals. Before paying an agent, check its identity, scope of service, charges and refund terms. This guide does not endorse an agency or determine an individual traveler’s eligibility.

For practical preparation after arrival, see our Bali eSIM and SIM card guide. Check current packages and activation requirements directly with the provider, and save travel documents offline so they remain accessible without a mobile connection.
