If you're heading to Bali on a holiday, you will need to complete these four steps to enter Indonesia. We just got back for the most amazing 3 weeks in Bali and it was a quick and easy entry process compared to previous trips.
If you’re travelling to Bali for a holiday under 30 days, this is what you’ll need to complete before arrival.
There are 4 steps!
1: Visa On Arrival ($50 AUD)
2: Electronic Customs Declaration (free)
3: Health Pass (free)
4: Tourism Levy ($15)
*pricing is a guide as it depends on the exchange rate on the day*
Step 1: VISA On Arrival
Using this link: https://evisa.imigrasi.go.id/web/application_bvk simply choose your Visa type - B1 - then use your phone camera to scan the bottom of your passport. It will auto fill your details. Carefully cross check them all and tick each box below if correct.
Enter your accommodation name/address and then select to pay online. You can pay on arrival, but it’s much quicker to do online. Price is IDR500,000 per person (around $50 AUD) for a 30 day stay (B1 Tourist Visa)
For e-VOA there is only ONE official Government website: https://evisa.imigrasi.go.id/web/application_bvk don’t use the other sites that charge triple the price.
Once this is done, you can then skip the payment and immigration queues and use the e-Gates to self scan yourself through Immigration. Head straight past the lines to the e-Gates. Children 6+ can use these e-Gates. You scan your passport and move through the gate. If you have children younger than 6, you will have to go via the immigration counter (the line didn’t look too long).
Once you head through the gate, you grab your luggage and then head through customs.
