Bali Arrival Card 2026: Entry Requirements, Levy & Visa

Your passport must be valid for at least six months. For visa-free entry, the six months count from the day you arrive; for a visa on arrival, from the date you apply. Visa-free entry, the visa on arrival and the e-VOA also require a return or onward ticket to another country.

Those are the official requirements Indonesian immigration lists for a tourist visit. The UK government also recommends at least two blank pages, and notes that a passport reported lost or stolen will be refused.

Temporary or emergency passports, titre de voyage, certificates of identity and laissez-passer documents cannot be used for visa-free entry or a visa on arrival. Travelers holding one should check the visa options with Indonesian immigration before booking.

The visa-free visit (A1) covers 19 countries and territories, including Indonesia's Southeast Asian neighbors, Hong Kong, Turkey and Brazil. It is free, valid for up to 30 days and cannot be extended.

Nationals of about 80 more countries and territories, including Australia, the US, the UK, Canada, New Zealand, India, Japan and every EU country, need the B1 visa on arrival instead. It costs IDR 500,000 for 30 days and can be extended once for another 30 days. Buy it online as an e-VOA, which arrives by email within 24 hours, or pay at the bank counter on arrival.

An e-VOA must be used within 90 days of issue, and one application covers up to five people. For longer stays, the C1 visitor visa costs IDR 1,000,000 for 60 days.

All Indonesia is the single arrival declaration for passengers from abroad, required at every Indonesian airport and seaport since 1 October 2025. It combines the immigration, customs, health and quarantine declarations, so the old electronic customs form (e-CD) is no longer needed.

The form is free to fill out on the website or in the All Indonesia app for Android and iOS. It opens three days before arrival and stays open until the day you land; health officials advise completing it before you board.

Once you submit, the form generates a QR code. Families and groups can file together, but each traveler's passport must be entered. On arrival, only the lead traveler shows the QR code, and the group should stay together through immigration, quarantine and customs.

Foreign tourists pay a levy of IDR 150,000 per person, once per trip, ideally online before you fly or on arrival in Bali. It is separate from the visa and the arrival card, and cruise passengers pay it too.

Payment is cashless. The Bali government strongly encourages paying before arrival on the Love Bali website or app, by card, bank transfer, virtual account, UnionPay or QRIS. Someone else can pay for you, and the voucher arrives by email with a QR code. Counters at Bali's airport and ports also collect the levy, as do registered hotels, travel agents and attractions.

Checks take place at entry points, accommodations and attractions, and visitors who have not paid are refused entry to attractions. Exemptions cover diplomatic and official visas, transport crew, KITAS and KITAP holders, and family-unification, student, golden and other visas.

Personal goods worth up to about IDR 8.2 million per person per arrival are free of duty and taxes; the excess is charged 10% import duty plus VAT. Each adult may bring 1 liter of alcoholic drinks (age 21+) and 200 cigarettes, 25 cigars or 100 g of tobacco (age 18+). Alcohol and tobacco over these limits are destroyed, and other goods over that allowance are charged duty.

Goods over the allowances must be declared, as must cash worth IDR 100,000,000 or more, animals, plants, medicines and weapons. The UK government warns that Indonesia has zero tolerance for illegal drugs, including cannabis and CBD products in any form.

Phones on a foreign SIM need no registration. Visitors staying 90 days or less who want an Indonesian SIM register the phone's IMEI at a mobile operator outlet.

Travelers arriving from countries affected by yellow fever need a valid vaccination certificate, and Indonesia's Ministry of Health advises getting the vaccine at least 10 days before departure. The UK government states the same rule: the certificate is required only if you arrive from a country listed as a transmission risk.

The health declaration is now part of All Indonesia, which replaced the SATUSEHAT Health Pass for arrivals. The old SATUSEHAT site points travelers to All Indonesia.

The health section asks about symptoms such as fever, cough, runny nose, shortness of breath, sore throat, rashes, diarrhea, vomiting, bleeding or yellowing of the skin or eyes. It also asks which countries you departed from, transited through or visited in the 21 days before arriving, and about any recent contact with sick people or animals.

Bali's code of conduct for foreign tourists is Governor Circular No. 7 of 2025, announced on 24 March 2025. It asks visitors to respect temples and holy sites, dress modestly at temples, attractions and public places, pay the levy, and use licensed guides, transport and accommodation. Visitors should change money only at licensed money changers that display a Bank Indonesia QR code.

The circular bars visitors from the main and middle temple courtyards unless they are praying in Balinese dress. Also banned: climbing sacred trees or monuments, using single-use plastic and working without a permit.

Anyone driving needs a valid international or national license, and motorbike riders must wear a helmet. The UK government says a UK license is not valid on its own, so UK drivers need an International Driving Permit.

Official Indonesian government websites end in .go.id. The arrival card is free on allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id, and e-VOAs are sold on evisa.imigrasi.go.id or in All Indonesia after you submit the arrival card. The levy is paid on lovebali.baliprov.go.id, in the Love Bali app, at airport and port counters or through registered collecting agents.

Lookalike sites can rank high in search results. On 6 December 2022, the Directorate General of Immigration warned that indonesia-evoa.com was a fake e-VOA site taking payments. The UK government warns about websites or email links that charge for the arrival card, and the Australian government tells travelers to beware of fake websites.

The UK government adds that fake visa agents can leave travelers with no visa or the wrong one, leading to overstay fines of IDR 1,000,000 per day, deportation and entry bans.
