Bali Entry Requirements for 2026 and 2027 (Indonesia)

Bali entry requirements (and the rest of Indonesia)

Many countries are eligible for Indonesia’s Visa on Arrival (VOA). Below is a summary of the main entry requirements for Bali and the rest of Indonesia:

• Passport: Your passport must be valid for at least six months from the date you enter Indonesia.
• Proof of onward travel: You must have a ticket showing that you will leave Indonesia.
• Visa on Arrival (VOA): This visa allows you to stay in Indonesia for 30 days and can be extended for another 30 days, for a total stay of up to 60 days. You can apply through the official Indonesian immigration website.
• All Indonesia arrival declaration: You must complete this online declaration within the 72 hours before arriving in Indonesia. You can do so through the official All Indonesia website.
• Bali tourist levy: Visitors to Bali must pay a tourist levy of IDR 150,000. You can pay it in advance through the official Love Bali website.

Entering Indonesia with a Visa on Arrival (VOA)

VOA stands for Visa on Arrival and is one of the main entry requirements for tourists visiting Bali and the rest of Indonesia.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, there were two ways to enter Indonesia as a tourist. One option was to enter without a visa, which allowed visitors to stay in the country for up to 30 days. The other was to obtain a Visa on Arrival. Currently, all tourists must obtain the VOA.

The VOA costs IDR 500,000 and allows you to stay in Indonesia for 30 days. You can extend it once for an additional 30 days, giving you a maximum stay of 60 days.

You can apply for the VOA online (known as the eVOA), up to 90 days before your trip, or obtain a VOA upon arrival at eligible Indonesian airports.

If you already know that you’ll be staying in Indonesia for more than 30 days, I recommend contacting a visa agency during your first week in the country so they can start processing your extension.

How to Apply for a VOA for Indonesia

I’ll walk you through the application process step by step as I complete it for my upcoming trip to Indonesia:

Step 1: Go to the official Indonesian immigration website and click “Apply”.

Step 2: Select the nationality of your passport and the purpose of your trip. Choose “General, Family, or Social”, followed by “Tourism, Family Visit, and Transit”.

Step 3: Select the visa you want to apply for. In this case, choose “B1 – Tourist (Visa On Arrival)”.

Step 4: Read the visa information carefully. As you’ll see, the visa is valid for 30 days and can be extended for another 30 days.

Step 5: Upload a photo of your passport and a personal photograph, enter your first accommodation address in Indonesia, and upload your onward or departure ticket.

Step 6: Review all your details and documents carefully. In our case, the passport issue date appeared incorrectly in both applications, so make sure you double-check this information. Then accept the terms and click “Save”.

Step 7: Pay the VOA fee. The visa costs IDR 500,000, plus an additional IDR 19,500 service fee.

Step 8: Once your payment has been processed, you’ll receive a confirmation email containing your VOA document.

How to Complete the All Indonesia arrival declaration

You must also complete an online form called All Indonesia before travelling to Indonesia. You can submit it within the 72 hours before your arrival.

Here’s how to complete it, step by step:

Step 1: Visit the official All Indonesia website and select “Foreign Visitor”.

Step 2: Enter your personal information and contact details.

Step 3: If you’re travelling with other people, click “Add Traveler” to enter their details as well.

Step 4: Enter your arrival and departure dates and your visa information.

Step 5: Select your mode of transport and fill in your flight details.

Step 6: Enter the address of your accommodation in Indonesia.

Step 7: Complete the health, customs, and quarantine declarations.

Step 8: Review your information and submit the form.

Step 9: Save the All Indonesia QR code so you can present it when required.
