Bali Entry Requirements 2026: Visa, Tourist Levy & e-Arrival Card Guide

Q: What is the All Indonesia e-Arrival Card and when should I complete it?

The All Indonesia e-Arrival Card is a mandatory digital arrival form for Indonesia that replaces immigration, customs and health declarations, including the previous SATUSEHAT system. It is recommended to complete it online before travel to avoid delays, ideally within 72 hours of departure, but it may also be completed on arrival if necessary.

Q: Do I need a Visa on Arrival for Bali?

Most nationalities, including Australians, can obtain a Visa on Arrival (VoA) or apply for an e-VoA before travel. Both allow a 30-day stay and can be extended once for a total stay of up to 60 days. A passport valid for at least six months and an onward or return ticket are required.

Q: How much is the Bali Tourism Levy and how do I pay it?

The Bali Tourism Levy is IDR 150,000 (around AUD 14 / USD 10) per person, separate from visa costs. It can be paid online before arrival via the official Love Bali website or on arrival at designated counters.

Q: Do I still need separate health or customs forms?

No. The All Indonesia e-Arrival Card consolidates all immigration, health, and customs declarations into a single form, replacing older requirements such as the SATUSEHAT Health Pass.

Q: Are there safety or behaviour rules I should know while in Bali?

Yes. Petty theft can occur in crowded areas, and flooding may disrupt travel during the wet season. Indonesia enforces strict cultural and religious laws, and inappropriate behaviour at temples can result in fines or deportation. Travellers should follow local laws and carry identification when required.

Current Entry Requirements

All Indonesia e-Arrival Card

The All Indonesia e-Arrival Card is required for all international arrivals. It is strongly recommended to complete it online before departure to avoid delays, but it may also be completed on arrival if necessary. This single digital form replaces all previous immigration, customs and health declarations, including the old SATUSEHAT form.

Completing the form online within 72 hours before arrival is strongly recommended. It applies to all international entry points including Ngurah Rai Airport. You’ll need to present the QR code at immigration on arrival. The form is mandatory for all travellers including children and infants, though if you haven’t completed it before landing it can also be done at the airport, with some additional waiting time.

Access the form through the official All Indonesia portal

Visa on Arrival (VoA) & e-VoA

Most nationalities, including Australians, UK, US and most European passport holders, can enter Bali using a Visa on Arrival or electronic Visa on Arrival. Citizens from 97 countries are eligible.

The VoA is available at the airport on arrival. The e-VoA can be applied for online before travel at imigrasi.go.id and allows you to use the automated e-gates at Ngurah Rai Airport, skipping the visa queue entirely. Allow at least 3 working days if applying online.

Both options cost IDR 500,000 (~AUD 50 / USD 35) and allow a 30-day stay, extendable once for a further 30 days to a total of 60 days. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date, and a return or onward ticket is required.

Visa-free access applies to a limited ASEAN group, subject to change.

Apply for an e-VoA through the official Indonesian immigration website before travelling.

Bali Tourism Levy

Since early 2025, all international visitors to Bali must pay a Bali Tourism Levy of IDR 150,000 (≈ AUD 14 / USD 10).

The levy can be paid online before arrival via the Love Bali website or on arrival at designated counters.
Funds support cultural preservation and environmental programs.
Keep the digital or printed receipt handy, as it may be checked at accommodation or tourist sites.

Proposed Changes to Entry Requirements

Bali’s provincial government is developing a Regional Regulation on the Implementation of Quality Tourism. The regulation has NOT been approved by the Bali regional legislature and is NOT currently in effect. There is no confirmed implementation date, and these proposals do not apply to current travel. Key proposals under consideration include requirements for proof of sufficient funds, detailed travel itineraries and assessment of intended length of stay.

30-day Visa on Arrival (current rules) No proof of funds requirement is currently in effect for VoA travellers. Immigration officers may request proof of funds or onward travel at their discretion, as is standard at most international borders.

60-day Visitor Visa (C1/D1) — separate visa system The 60-day C1/D1 visa operates under a different system to the VoA. Applicants are typically required to provide 3 months of bank statements showing a minimum balance of approximately USD 2,000 at the time of application. This is existing long-stay visa policy and is not connected to the proposed regulation.

Proposed regulation The broader provincial regulation, which would extend financial screening to all tourist categories including VoA arrivals, remains a draft proposal subject to legislative approval. It may also require sign-off from Indonesia’s national government before it can affect VoA entry conditions. Travellers should monitor All Indonesia portal for updates.

What happened to the SATUSEHAT Health Pass?

SATUSEHAT was Indonesia’s previous digital health declaration system, used during the post-pandemic travel period beginning in 2022 and subsequently replaced in 2025. It has now been fully replaced by the All Indonesia e-Arrival Card.

Travellers will no longer need to complete a separate SATUSEHAT Health Pass for entry into Bali or any other part of Indonesia, as health and customs declarations are now consolidated into the new unified arrival system.

If you come across older travel guides or third-party information referring to a “SATUSEHAT Health Pass” requirement, these references are outdated and no longer reflect current entry procedures.

All travellers should now complete the All Indonesia e-Arrival Card prior to arrival where possible.
