There is more than one type of Visa for Indonesia but all we are concerned about on this Blog is about the basics that you need to know – to get a Bali Tourist Visa for Australian’s and enter Bali Indonesia. The passport and visa requirements also apply to cruise ship visitors. Visitors from other country’s must check their own entry requirements.

Entry requirements for Bali Indonesia
Passport must be valid for a minimum of 6 (six) months as from the date of entry into Indonesia. A friend of ours was recently refused permission to board his Aeroplane to Denpasar because his passport expiry date came under the 6 month expiry between booking and boarding. There is no compensation for a mistake like this.
Onward or return tickets are compulsory.
Your hotel or accomodation address is required.
And a VOR ( Visa On Arrival)
* A Tourist visa is required ( called Visa On Arrival ) and as Australians you purchase this as you go through to ( but Just before ) the Immigration check out at Denpasar airport. This lasts for 30 days and costs US $25.00 which you can pay in Aus dollars, remember to get this before you stand in line at immigration or you will be sent back to get it. I do not know at what age this kicks in, if u know pls advise via the comment box.
*There are no compulsory vaccinations.
*To get your VOA visitors to Bali enter through the following: Air – Bali Ngurah Rai Airport (Denpasar) Sea – Benoa and Padang seaports.
* When you leave Bali to come home there is a exit tax of Indonesian 150,000 Rupiah and to be paid in Rupiah. This is about Aus $20.00. We put this aside in our hotel safe with our passport. All passengers pay this including children.
* When you get there and if your hotel is not picking you up you will need transport, particularly groups and or families. Bali is 8 degrees south of the equator and can get hot and sweaty which means airconditioned transport is needed. Phone our adopted drivers for wheels.

I am heading to Bali next week , travelling alone . I have not been to Bali before. Would it be safe to go out at night alone ? Any tips for a woman alone?
BTW I have been on the web researching for a while and this is the best website by far. Thanks so much.
Also if anyone has any must do’s in Bali ( cultural etc not night clubs) I would really appreciate your feedback.

Hello Alli
Sorry to take so long in replying, the only tips i can get from daughters is it is the same in Bali as here and that going out alone should be avoided, especially at night.
The main entertainment strip in Kuta at night should be ok as there is usually a lot of people around otherwise go with some one. It is no different to Australia in that
you need to aware of your surroundings.
One of the best parts of our trip was staying overnight at http://www.marariversafarilodge.com/ The pictures are exactly what u get, even the picture from the Restaurant
with the lion in the background, there is only sheet glass between you and real nature.
I am going back to Bali at the end of July and as i am not a night life person i will be checking out Sanur, i have been told it is quite and i can walk around without the street
pests that hang around Kuta.
Let me Know how you went and if you found any interesting places to go.
Cheers John

Lucky I checked your site out. I thought the minimum time the passport had to be valid was 3 months not 6. My passport will only be valid for 4 months when I leave. Hopefully I can sort it out!
Stevie says:
I will be travelling to Bali for the first time in 26 days (not that im counting).
I will only be taking hand luggage over but will be returning with a suitcase. I will be taking medication on the plane as i require it once a day. Will i need to carry a letter from my doctor explaining the use of the medication? A friend obtained one for a holiday to NZ and i am enquiring if something similar is necessary for Bali.
