Before going to Bali: online Visa on Arrival, Tourist Levy, Customs Declaration | Bali Travel 2024

[@lindamarietravel]

NOTE: As of 29/8/2024 there is another form you must fill out online BEFORE going to Bali or entering Indonesia, you need to complete an electronic health declaration (the SATUSEHAT Health Pass). After completing the form, you will get a barcode linked to your health and travel history. Indonesian authorities will scan the barcode on arrival in Indonesia. Save your barcode, screenshot it, and take a printed copy with you to ensure authorities can scan it on arrival. SATUSEHAT Health Pass: sshp.kemkes.go.id/register Update to the online visa website, it is now at: evisa.imigrasi.go.id/

[@joefong5611]

Should we also fill this out within three days of arrival? Thanks.

[@lindamarietravel]

@@joefong5611 Yes, this needs to be done now too.

[@joefong5611]

@@lindamarietravel Thank you. I already paid and got my VoA and Tourist Levy QR code. I will do the custom and health declarations three days before I arrive. :)

[@jofoster2144]

Thanks so much great information well done

[@ralphpetry1745]

I am so glad I came across your video. I have watched many and was up to speed with the visa but no one had mentioned doing the levy and customs online before hand. I can relate to the "it takes longer than your think" comment. This happened last year when we tried to scan and everyone was giving up thinking the system wasn't working - lol! Finally someone came over to say be patient and it did take almost 5 minutes before the processing was complete, far longer than one would think.

Whats the name of the correct website to fill in the customs to bali

[@lindamarietravel]

Hi, it's The official eVisa website for Indonesia: evisa.imigrasi.go.id/

[@TracyIngham]

Hello. Thanks so much for the arrival information. I jumped the gun a bit on applying for the online visa entry and it is going to run out prior to our arrival in Bali. My bad, I should have read all the information first on the form. I was wondering if it is possible to reapply closer to our departure date while the original one is still active or would it be better to wait until the original visa expires. We arrive on January 15 and the visa expires January 6th. Lesson learned. Always read the fine print! I also read that you shouldn’t apply for the visa until 14 days ahead of travel? Doesn’t make much sense when the visa is good for 90 days. Thanks for your advice in this regard.

[@lindamarietravel]

I'm glad the information was helpful, I'm sure would be able to reapply closer to the date for another before this one runs out. Have a great time in Bali 🙂🌴🏖️

[@johnrivera2615]

can you with card payment once you land in Bali to pay for visa?

[@lindamarietravel]

yes you can pay with card at immigration once you land in Bali

[@TeluguPie]

Thanks for the information! I got e-Visa recently and I found that the date of the issue of the passport is mismatched though I gave the correct date. Will there be any problem at immigration? Rest of the details are matching though

[@lindamarietravel]

You're welcome, for the information. I'm not sure about about the date mismatch. Enjoy Bali!

Hi , nice guide but your link to the Visa isnt working , do you have another ?

[@6861Charley]

I'm now on the process of choosing sites for my 2025 vacation and Bali is one on my bucket list. Just completed my 2 weeks vacation in Thailand and I really enjoyed it. How soon do you think in advance to apply for a visa to Bali?

[@lindamarietravel]

Hi, Where did you go in Thailand? So many lovely places, I really enjoy Thailand too! For Bali, you need to apply for the e-visa at least 2 days before you travel, 1 or 2 weeks before you go is okay. Enjoy planning your vacation to Bali! 🙂

[@JBoardOnly]

Very helpful video. Do you upload your passport and photo as Pdf or Jpeg. Thanks

I am looking after 2 additional travellers can I put all there certificates on my phone? or do I put each persons on thier own phone? TIA

[@lindamarietravel]

Hi, The visa on arrival will be electronically linked to each passport, and you will receive emailed document for each visa on arrival. For each tourist levy, and each customs declaration you will also receive emails. I recommend printing the emails and customs QR codes, its easier. Or you could access them all from your phone. Enjoy Bali 🙂

Hi thank you for the tips! I have done the 3 things you recommend in this video. However, my flight land at international airport at 12:05pm and I have to get through immigration and get my check in luggage and then have my connection flight on domestic terminal with departure time 3:35pm. It is about 3h30 layover time, do you think it is enough ? I am very stressed, especially with my luggage!

[@lindamarietravel]

Hi, yes I think you have enough time. Getting through immigration with you visa on arrival already done is fast through the e-gates. And fast through customs if you already have filled it out and have your QR code. Enjoy Indonesia! 🙂

I don't have e-passport but normal passport, can I go through the Auto gates of Bali airport. I have already received the evisa.

[@lindamarietravel]

Hi, You can use the e-gates if you have a biometric passport, that is, a passport with a chip that stores your biometric data. If your passport has a small golden square with a circle in the middle beneath your national emblem, then it can be scanned by the automated systems.

Print out the document evidence of the visa you already have obtained and paid for, and at the airport go through the immigration line and show them manually.

Thank you so much. I waited 2 hours last time when I went. Did not know about the E gate. So when we apply for the 30 day visas. Do we have to print out the visa?. Or the visa links to your passport automatically?.

The visa links electronically to your passport automatically. You do receive a PDF document of the visa details, I printed this and took it with me just in case any confusions or issues occurred. But all was automatic and electronic. Enjoy Bali! 🙂

What's the rush? Why not queue? If it's your first time arriving in Bali you get to talk to your first Balinese. Many bloggers tell all about how to get in there fast. None tell that you'll wait forever to pick up your luggage😂.

Good point Robert! Some people don't like to rush, happy to take time through airports slowly and chat to people. I travel carry-on luggage only, and so don't have to wait for luggage pickup, and I like to move quickly through the airport if I can. 🙂
