You can pay the tax in advance online via <a href=\"https:\/\/lovebali.baliprov.go.id\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>this page<\/strong><\/a>, but credit card payments sometimes fail.

Indonesia offers several options, but most foreign visitors use one of two types. Here&#8217;s how to pick the correct visa for your travel plans and avoid paying for the wrong one.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Visa on Arrival and Electronic Visa<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most foreign visitors use either an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/visa-indonesia.com\/ms\/product\/e-visa-on-arrival-indonesia\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">e visa (electronic visa)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or a visa on arrival. Apply for your e visa at least 48 hours before international flights depart. Both the visa on arrival and the electronic visa cost IDR 500,000 and give you 30 days. You can request one visa extension for another 30 days.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What does the appropriate visa cover? Tourism in major cities, government visits, procurement events, and transit. Even connecting through Indonesia requires the correct visa, which surprises many international travelers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>When Standard Visa Requirements Don&#8217;t Fit<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some entries need different visa categories. Maybe you&#8217;re landing where a visa on arrival isn&#8217;t available. Perhaps your travel plans exceed 30 days, even with a visa extension. You might need multiple entries, or your purpose goes beyond simple business meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apply for the appropriate visa before leaving home. Don&#8217;t squeeze into visa on arrival when it doesn&#8217;t match your travel plans. Indonesian authorities take visa requirements seriously.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Understanding Visa Scams and Consequences<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watch out for visa scams online. Only use the official Indonesian website for your electronic visa application. Scammers target foreign tourists with fake services.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overstaying after your visa expires costs IDR 1,000,000 daily. Indonesian authorities can detain you, deport you, and ban future entry. International travelers should track when their visa expires carefully.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Not sure which visa fits your situation?<\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/visa-indonesia.com\/ms\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visa-Indonesia.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> helps you choose the right visa category for your travel plans.

Let us handle the details while you focus on planning your trip. Get your visa<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>The Indonesia Arrival Card: Required Health Declaration<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indonesia&#8217;s new system,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/visa-indonesia.com\/ms\/product\/indonesia-arrival-card\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All Indonesia<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, combines the Indonesia Declaration Form and health declarations into one digital form. When entering Indonesia, you must complete the All Indonesia form within 72 hours before arrival. Immigration office staff might check your confirmation before processing you.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The old SatuSehat Health Pass and separate e-Customs codes stopped working on October 1, 2025. Use only the Indonesia Arrival Card going forward. This health declaration replaces earlier systems entirely.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have your passport details, international flights information, accommodation in major cities or other locations, and customs declaration items ready. Indonesian authorities use this data to process foreign nationals efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Bali Entry Requirements<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bali Entry Requirements follow the same entry rules as the rest of Indonesia. You need the same documents and visa requirements whether you&#8217;re landing in Denpasar or Jakarta. That means a valid passport with six months remaining, the correct visa (e visa or visa on arrival), an onward ticket, and your completed Indonesia Arrival Card.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the Bali Provincial Government does charge one additional fee called the Love Bali tourist tax. Every foreign visitor pays IDR 150,000 (about $10 USD) separately from visa requirements. This tourist tax funds local infrastructure, environmental protection, and cultural preservation across the island. You can pay online before your international flights through the official Bali government website, or pay at designated international airport counters when you land at Ngurah Rai Airport.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some visa categories qualify for exemptions, but most foreign tourists pay. Keep your receipt, local authorities sometimes check it at major hotels or tourist locations.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Documents International Travelers Must Carry<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Airlines and immigration office staff will ask for your onward ticket. This happens at check-in or when passengers entering Indonesia clear customs. Have your onward flight booking accessible on your phone or printed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indonesian authorities can request proof of sufficient funds. Not every foreign visitor gets asked, but local authorities have this right under entry rules.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carry digital and printed copies of your visa receipt, Indonesia Arrival Card confirmation, and Bali tourist tax receipt if applicable. Technology fails; having paper backups shows appropriate precautions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Your Arrival at the International Airport: Step by Step<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you land in Indonesia, whether in <\/span><b>Bali, Jakarta, or another international airport<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, here\u2019s how things usually go:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>1. Follow the visa signs<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After you step off the plane, follow the signs to the <\/span><b>Visa or Immigration area<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you already have an <\/span><b>e-VOA (Electronic Visa on Arrival)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, go straight to immigration. Some airports even have special e-gates for faster entry.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re getting a <\/span><b>Visa on Arrival (VOA)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, stop at the VOA counter first. You\u2019ll pay the visa fee <\/span><b>by card or cash<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, so keep both handy just in case.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>2. Go through immigration<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the immigration desk, officers will check your <\/span><b>passport validity<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (at least 6 months left) and may ask for your <\/span><b>return or onward ticket<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They\u2019ll then verify your visa and stamp your passport. A smile and polite attitude go a long way here.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>3. Collect your baggage<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, head to the baggage claim area to grab your luggage. Keep your passport and visa receipt within reach; you might need them again soon.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>4. Customs and the All Indonesia Arrival Card<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before leaving the terminal, you\u2019ll go through <\/span><b>Customs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll need to show your <\/span><b>All Indonesia Arrival Card (AIC)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> atau <\/span><b>e-Customs QR code<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This form must be filled out online within 72 hours before you travel.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customs officers will <\/span><b>scan your barcode<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and ask if you\u2019re bringing in large amounts of cash (over IDR 100 million) or restricted items.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Answer honestly; it keeps the process quick and smooth.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>5. Bali arrivals: Tourist levy check<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re landing in <\/span><b>Bali<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, there\u2019s one extra step. All foreign visitors must pay the <\/span><b>Bali tourist levy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> daripada <\/span><b>IDR 150,000<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (about USD 10).<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can <\/span><b>pay online in advance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or at <\/span><b>airport counters<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Keep your <\/span><b>payment receipt or QR code<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> handy; you might be asked to show it before leaving the terminal or later at tourist sites.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Visa Extension Process at the Immigration Office<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/visa-indonesia.com\/ms\/product\/visa-on-arrival-extension-bali-indonesia\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">extend visa on arrival<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> once for 30 days. Visit an immigration office or apply online before your visa expires. Indonesian authorities might require a photo or an interview.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t wait until your visa expires. The visa extension process takes several working days in major cities, longer in remote areas. Plan appropriate precautions into your travel plans.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Private Accommodation and Local Authorities<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Major hotels register foreign nationals automatically with local police and Indonesian authorities. But foreign tourists renting private homes, villas, or Airbnbs must register themselves. Report to local authorities at your neighborhood office (RT) and local police when you arrive.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This legal requirement protects personal safety. Indonesian citizens follow similar rules. Local authorities need to know where foreign visitors are staying, especially regarding natural disasters or security concerns.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Special Situations Foreign Nationals Face<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not every traveler fits the standard tourist profile. Whether you have dual citizenship, existing medical conditions, or unique circumstances, Indonesian authorities have specific requirements you need to know about. Understanding these situations before you book can save you from complications at the international airport.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Passport Condition and Denied Entry<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even minor passport damage causes denied entry. Local authorities at the international airport can refuse foreign tourists with water stains or torn pages. Replace damaged passports before international flights; don&#8217;t risk denied entry.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Dual Citizenship and Background Checks<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indonesian authorities scrutinize foreign nationals with dual citizenship or criminal records. Contact an Indonesian embassy before booking travel plans. Better to understand entry rules now than face denied entry at the international airport.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Medical Requirements and Health Declaration<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You only need a yellow fever certification when arriving from risk countries. Otherwise, follow travel advice from your government about standard vaccines. The health declaration on your Indonesia Arrival Card covers recent exposure questions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Regional Travel Advice and Natural Disasters<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some areas have specific travel advice due to natural disasters, terrorist groups, or local customs. The Australian Government and other countries issue advisories about personal safety in certain regions. Monitor local media before and during your trip.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indonesia sits in an earthquake zone. Natural disasters can strike with little or no warning. Follow travel advice from local authorities, monitor local media, and know where secure locations are in major hotels and major cities.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Avoid These Common Entry Mistakes<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every year, thousands of foreign nationals face problems at Indonesian airports because of simple mistakes. These aren&#8217;t obscure rules; they&#8217;re common issues that cause denied entry, fines, or serious legal trouble. Here&#8217;s what goes wrong most often and how to avoid these problems.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Transit Rules for International Flights<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This confuses international travelers constantly: you need an appropriate visa even for transit. Connecting through Jakarta on international flights to other countries? You must have a visa on arrival or an electronic visa. Indonesian authorities don&#8217;t allow visa-free transit, which causes denied entry for unprepared foreign tourists.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Lost Passports and Entry Rules<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you replace your passport while in Indonesia, leaving gets complicated. You entered on one document, but have a different passport now. Indonesian authorities require special exit documentation. Contact your embassy immediately and expect paperwork before international flights home.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You must exit on the same passport you entered with, or get proper authorization from the immigration office for the new document.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Driving and Local Laws<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Need to drive? Get an international driving permit before you leave home. Indonesian authorities recognize these with a regular license. Local police enforce local laws strictly. Foreign nationals driving without proper permits face fines or worse.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Medications and Local Laws<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some over-the-counter medications from other countries are controlled under local laws here. Prescription medication should stay in the original packaging with your medical prescription visible. Indonesian authorities take illegal drugs extremely seriously; penalties include death.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carry documentation for any medication, even common items. What&#8217;s legal in other countries might violate local laws. Take appropriate precautions with everything you pack.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Money, Valuables, and Customs Declaration<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The IDR 100,000,000 threshold on your customs declaration is serious. Indonesian authorities track this for both entry and exit. Declare honestly, penalties for false customs and health declarations are severe.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Health Services and Medical Treatment<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medical treatment quality varies dramatically between major cities and remote areas. Major hotels can recommend health services, but medical evacuation to other countries might be necessary for serious issues. Health services in major cities like Jakarta meet international standards.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get comprehensive travel insurance covering medical treatment and medical evacuation. Medical expenses in Indonesia can be high for foreign tourists, and medical assistance networks help international travelers find appropriate care. Medical evacuation to other countries costs tens of thousands without travel insurance.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Personal Safety and Local Customs<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Respect local customs and local laws everywhere. Some regions follow Sharia law with different rules for foreign nationals. The Indonesian authorities expect appropriate behavior from foreign tourists.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Personal safety concerns include petty crime in major cities and tourist areas. Use secure locations at major hotels for valuables. Sexual assault happens; take appropriate precautions, especially at night. Monitor local media for safety updates.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid direct contact with street food vendors unless major hotels or tour operators recommend them. Don&#8217;t leave food or drinks unattended; drink spiking affects foreign visitors.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Water and Natural Disasters Safety<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indonesia is beautiful but dangerous. Natural disasters include earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions that strike with little or no warning. Major hotels should have safety equipment and evacuation plans.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Near water? Check for life jackets and safety equipment. Drowning is a leading cause of death for foreign tourists. Many beaches lack lifeguards. Tour operators should provide proper safety equipment for water activities.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Communication with Local Authorities<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep emergency numbers saved. Know how to reach local police, your embassy, and medical assistance services. In major cities, English-speaking support exists. Remote areas might need translation help.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If arrested or detained, Indonesian authorities must allow you to contact your embassy. Know your rights under local laws. Foreign nationals get consular support, but you must ask for direct contact with your embassy.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Terrorism and Security Forces<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Terrorist groups target areas where foreign nationals gather. Major hotels, tourist sites, and major cities see heightened security forces presence. While rare, attacks happen. Monitor local media and follow travel advice from local authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Security forces conduct random checks. Carry your passport copy and visa documentation always. Indonesian authorities can ask for identification anywhere. Being cooperative with security forces prevents complications.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Scams Targeting Foreign Tourists<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond visa scams, foreign visitors face various schemes. Fake local police asking for passport checks, overcharging by tour operators, and fraudulent business meetings targeting international travelers happen. Use tour operators recommended by major hotels or your embassy.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t give your passport to anyone except immigration office staff or actual local police in official stations. Scammers in major cities impersonate local authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>International Child Abduction Concerns<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traveling with children? Indonesian authorities watch for international child abduction. If you&#8217;re not traveling with both parents, carry notarized permission letters. Immigration office staff at the international airport can deny entry to foreign nationals with children lacking proper documentation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This applies to Indonesian citizens and foreign nationals equally. Local laws protect children. Be prepared with all documents.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Sexual Contact and Local Laws<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sexual contact laws differ from those in other countries. Age of consent, prostitution, and same-sex relations have specific local laws. Indonesian authorities prosecute foreign nationals who violate these rules. Penalties are severe. Understand local customs and local laws before any sexual contact.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Business Travelers and Visa Category<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Business meetings fall under a visa on arrival, but actual work requires different visa categories. Foreign nationals conducting training, opening businesses, or extended corporate activities need work permits and appropriate visas. Using a visa on arrival for work activities risks deportation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re a foreign pilot, consultant, or specialist, verify your visa category with Indonesian authorities before arrival. Business meetings are brief discussions, not performing work duties.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Food and Water Safety<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t leave food or drinks unattended in major cities&#8217; nightlife areas. Drink spiking affects foreign tourists regularly. At major hotels, food safety standards are higher. Street food requires appropriate precautions; monitor local media about food safety issues.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tap water isn&#8217;t safe. Buy bottled water even for brushing teeth. Medical treatment for waterborne illness is common among international travelers who ignore this travel advice.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>How We Help Foreign Visitors Navigate Entry Rules<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We handle complex entry and exit requirements so international travelers avoid denied entry.
