Definitive checklist for Bali

[Flyerwin]

Hi

We are heading to Bali, Indonesia, in a month's time. The threads here have confusing and conflicting information, and I wanted to consolidate everything I need to do beforehand into a single post here:

1. Electronic Visa On Arrival (EVOA) at least 2 days before: https://evisa.imigrasi.go.id/web/application_voa

2. ⁠Health pass form within 3 days of travel: SSHP

3. ⁠Customs declaration done after collecting bags but before leaving arrivals: Indonesian Customs Declaration (e-CD)

4. ⁠Tourist Levy for Bali, paid here: https://lovebali.baliprov.go.id/home

Is that it? Thanks!

Yes, the four things identified are the current requirements.

With the Healthpass, you need a seat number. And with the Healthpass, they count the day of arrival as a day, so actually two days prior to day of arrival. (eg Today 10 June, one can only apply up to 12 June arrival)

For the visa, technically you have a few options and the options available will vary depending on if you are staying up to 30 days or 31 - 60 days.

Visa for up to 30 days
a) You can get one on arrival
b) You can get one online - going through your link
c) You can get one online - using this passport scan quick link
https://evisa.imigrasi.go.id/web/application_voa (You need a camera - smartphone camera is easier to scan, but it can be done on a laptop webcam as well)
[Note: Arrival airport for Bali is Bandara Internasional Ngurah Rai. You will need to identify your regency/district of your accommodation in a later drop down box - see Step 8 below].

Both online methods can be applied for up to 89/90 days prior to arrival date, so you can apply now if you wish.

There is a different passport scan link for those that have a passport from a visa exemption country (eg ASEAN countries) and it seems they need to wait closer to arrival date to apply.

I've not done a 60 day visa (or a 30 day visa and extending it in country), but it does seem more involved.

Have a great trip!

Some web instructions off a tripadvisor post

Web instructions

Hi all, I have seen so many confused posts about payment on the web version of the B1 Visa, I thought I would detail the process as I just did it.

1) https://evisa.imigrasi.go.id/web/application_voa

2) Select airport

3) Payment type – Counter or Credit Card (select CC)

4) Scan Passport – this will open up a reader through your camera

5) Check the details of the scan

6) Add in phone number

7) Add in address with no commas and no new line return breaks

8) Choose City (i.e KAB. GIANYAR for Ubud)

9) Add email (twice)

10) You will see an orange box that says “To make visa payments, after successful registration you can go to the VOA counter at your destination airport in Indonesia by showing your passport” – ***don’t worry about this, you will pay on the next page

11) Check info one last time and click to certify

12) Click submit

13) A pop up will come up – “Are you sure you want to continue” –click yes

14) On next page scroll all the way to the right – there will be a payment button – click it

15) On the next page – scroll all the way to the bottom – there will be a payment button - click it

16) Enter CC details – click continue

17) At this point you can check your email and the visa will be there.

18) Click “back to main page”

19) Scroll down to where is says ‘Application Information” below that there is an “e-visa” button – click it (make sure you have a PDF viewer on your phone)

20) Voila! Your visa – download and save it on your phone

The shortcut for entering your address is start with the postcode!

Most of the other fields are then filled in and you just then add the hotel name in the first field.

Do you mean in point three above, doing the customs declaration some time in the three days after you’ve entered the country? If so, that’s not correct. You have to have it checked after collecting bags and before leaving the arrivals area.

Suspect you know that but it’s just different terminology for point three from the way you described the timing in points one and two.

When I read the thread title I thought I was going to see something like…

Ok, I amended my first post. So you mean you can't do it before flying, but you have to do it while waiting for luggage and before leaving arrivals?

I think you can do in the period before arrival. Just has to be before getting to the customs point. Not sure how many days before as I’ve always just done it taxiing in or whilst waiting for bags.

Tourist Levy: i paid it for our family of 4 in our trip in April. But no one even checked it when we entered and exited Bali. So maybe you can get away not paying it?

Apparently random checks in tourist areas. Those without proof are fined. Allegedly.

We did our before departure from Australia while waiting to board.

The customs declaration can be done anytime in the 3 days up to the customs declaration point.

If I remember correctly, you get a QR code which the customs officer scans.

For us we declared some regular prescription medicine (also got a doctor's letter and prescription receipt - as per Smart traveller recommendation), only taking enough to cover a couple days over our trip and in original packaging. Customs officer asked for verbal confirmation that it was prescription medicine and just waved us through without sighting it or anything.

My understanding is the Tourist levy is a State tax, so unlikely to have much presence in the airport.

Apparently random checks at tourist sites. Reports of about 40% collection rate. So the Bali government will try to improve collections rates. Last I heard there were proposals to have fines as much as 10 times the levy amount and/or somehow linked to departure approvals.

Thanks.

I can't edit my first post to say this now. Hopefully future readers will figure this out.
