New Entry Requirements for Bali (Updated October 2025)

Travelling to Bali in 2025? All visitors must now complete the All Indonesia e-Arrival Card online within 72 hours before travel, replacing all previous customs and health forms. You’ll also need a valid passport (6+ months), a return or onward ticket, and for most nationalities, a Visa on Arrival (VoA) or e-VoA obtained via the official immigration site. A Bali Tourism Levy of IDR 150,000 (≈ AUD 14) applies to all international travellers, payable online or on arrival.

Entry Forms – “All Indonesia” Digital Declaration

From 1 September 2025, Indonesia launched a single digital form known as the All Indonesia e-Arrival Card, which replaces previous immigration, customs, and health declarations.

Travellers arriving by air or sea must:

• Complete the All Indonesia e-Arrival Card online within 72 hours before arrival (at least 48 hours recommended).

• Present the QR code at immigration.

• This system applies to all international entry points from 1 October 2025.

👉 Access the form through the official All Indonesia portal

Visa on Arrival (VoA) & e-VoA

Most nationalities, including Australians, can still enter Bali using a Visa on Arrival (VoA) or electronic Visa on Arrival (e-VoA).

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

• The visa is valid for 30 days and can be extended once (total 60 days).

• Travellers must hold a passport valid for at least 6 months from entry and a confirmed onward or return ticket.

• Those with e-VoA may be eligible for automated e-gate processing at Bali’s Ngurah Rai International Airport.

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.

While in Bali

Travellers should stay alert to petty theft and scams targeting tourists, especially in crowded areas and transport hubs. Heavy rain and flooding can disrupt roads and flights during the wet season, so avoid walking or driving through floodwaters. Local authorities enforce strict cultural and behavioural laws; disrespect toward temples, religion, or local customs can result in fines or deportation. Be cautious with alcohol consumption, as cases of methanol poisoning from counterfeit or spiked drinks have been reported in tourist areas like Kuta and Canggu. Always carry ID, follow local instructions during weather or safety alerts, and ensure your travel insurance includes medical cover and emergency evacuation. Want in-app alerts while in Bali?
