Bali Travel Entry Requirements 2026 – Official Guide

Entering Bali in 2026 is an entirely digital-first process. To avoid delays, follow this exact sequence:

1. Check Passport: Ensure 6+ months validity.
2. Secure Visa: Apply for e-VoA or B211A 72 hours before flight.
3. Pay Tourist Levy: Complete the Rp 150k payment via Love Bali.
4. Fill e-CD: Complete the Customs form online to get your QR code.
5. Health Protocol: Check the latest SATUSEHAT app mandates.

Beyond the 6-month rule, the **physical condition** of your passport is hyper-critical. Bali immigration is famous for rejecting travelers with:

• Water damage or blurry ink on any page.
• Rips or loose threads on the cover binding.
• Loose or detached bio-data pages.

If your passport looks "damaged," replace it before you fly, or you risk being sent back on the next available plane at your own expense.

Don't just default to the VoA at the airport.

• Visit < 30 Days: e-VoA (B1) is the fastest.
• Visit 30-60 Days: e-VoA (B1) then extend onshore, or pre-apply for B211A.
• Social/Business 60+ Days: B211A is the only legal option for tourists to reach 180 days.

Once you land:

• Step A: Follow 'All Passports' or 'e-Visa/Autogate' signs.
• Step B: If you have an e-Visa, go straight to the Autogates. No line, no talk.
• Step C: If you need a paper VoA, line up at the Bank counter first to pay 500k, then line up for the officer.
• Step D: Collect bags and scan your e-CD Customs QR code.

While the Rp 150,000 Bali Levy is often paid before arrival, there are spot-check counters at the domestic and international exit of the airport. Keep your 'Love Bali' confirmation email or QR code handy on your phone to show the officers.

While COVID rules have relaxed, Indonesia uses the **SATUSEHAT** app for health monitoring. During outbreaks of Mpox or other regional health concerns, you may be required to fill out a health declaration within this app before boarding or upon landing to pass the thermal scanners.

Bali Customs is extremely strict on:

• Alcohol: Maximum 1 Liter per adult. Anything more is confiscated and destroyed.
• Tobacco: 200 cigarettes or 25 cigars.
• Vapes: Generally allowed for personal use, but heavy quantities may be flagged.
• Narcotics: ZERO tolerance. Medical marijuana is illegal in Indonesia.
