Dreaming of a trip to Bali? This beautiful Indonesian island is a popular tourist destination, and for good reason! With stunning beaches, delicious food, and a rich culture, Bali has something to offer everyone.
But before you pack your bags and book your flight, there are a few things you need to take care of first, like understanding the entry requirements. Here’s a quick rundown of what you’ll need to do to enter Bali:
Visas
In most cases, you will need a visa to enter Bali. There are two main options:
- Electronic Visa (e-Visa): This is the most convenient option for many travelers. You can apply for an e-Visa online before your trip. Be sure to check if your nationality is eligible for an e-Visa before applying.
- Visa on Arrival (VOA): If your nationality is not eligible for an e-Visa, you may be able to get a VOA upon arrival at the airport in Bali. However, this is not always guaranteed, so it’s best to check with the Indonesian embassy or consulate in your home country beforehand.
Passport and Other Documentation
- Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months from your date of arrival in Bali. You’ll also need to have at least one blank page in your passport for entry stamps.
- You will need to show proof of onward or return travel from Bali.
- Depending on your airline’s requirements, you may also need to have a negative COVID-19 PCR test result.
- Fill out the Indonesia Customs Declaration Form online before your arrival.
Other Requirements
- You may need to pay an arrival fee when you enter Bali.
- It’s a good idea to have travel insurance in case of unexpected events.
