Planning your Bali escape in 2026? With the new Bali entry requirements now in effect – including the All Indonesia Arrival Card, the tourist levy, and visa requirements – entering Bali can be smooth and stress-free if you prepare ahead.
Here’s your step-by-step guide to entering Bali hassle-free, complete with official government links and a simple way to stay connected with an AdventureSIMs Bali eSIM.
🛂 Step 1: Organise Your Visa (VOA or e-VOA)
Australians can enter with either:
- Visa on Arrival (VOA) — pay at the airport (approx. AUD 75).
- e-Visa on Arrival (e-VOA) — apply online for faster processing.
Official e-VOA sites:
- evisa.imigrasi.go.id (Indonesian Immigration)
- indonesiavoa.vfsevisa.id (official VFS Global platform)
Tip: Apply at least 48 hours before departure for smooth entry.
💳 Step 2: Pay the Bali Tourist Levy
Since 2024, Bali charges a tourist levy of IDR 150,000 (approx. AUD 15).
- Official payment portal: Love Bali – Official Website
- When to pay: Online before you fly (recommended) or at the airport.
- Proof: You’ll receive a QR code “Levy Voucher” via email — save or print it.
✅ Step 3: Complete the All Indonesia Arrival Card
As of 1 September 2025, all travellers (including Australians) must complete the All Indonesia Arrival Card before arrival.
- What it is: A free digital form that combines immigration, customs, and health declarations into one.
- When to do it: Complete it within 72 hours before your flight.
- Where: allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id (official site).
- How it works: Fill in passport, flight, accommodation, and health/customs details. Once submitted, you’ll receive a QR code via email — show this at immigration.
Tip: Don’t leave this until you land – airport kiosks can mean long queues.
📖 Step 4: Check Your Passport
Your Australian passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date. Without this, airlines may deny boarding.
📱 Step 5: Staying Connected When You Arrive In Bali
You’ve just got off a long flight.
It’s hot. You’re tired. You just want to get to your hotel and have a cold beer.
The last thing you want is messing around at the airport with dodgy SIM counters, upsells, or wandering down the street trying to work out which stall to trust.
If you sort your mobile data before you leave, you don’t have to deal with any of that.
With a Bali & Indonesia eSIM, you’re connected the second you turn off airplane mode, so you can:
-
Book a Grab straight out of the airport
-
Message your hotel without hunting for Wi-Fi
-
Open Google Maps and get moving
-
Get out of the heat and start your trip properly
AdventureSIMs’ Indonesia eSIM lets you set it up before you fly, so when you land, your phone just works – and you can get on with enjoying Bali (including that first ice-cold Bintang 🍺).
