This page is about the basics that you may need to know – to get a Bali Tourist Visa for Australian’s and enter Bali Indonesia via Air. The passport and visa requirements also apply to cruise ship visitors. Visitors from other country’s must check their own entry requirements. Click the link for more information.
VISA ON ARRIVAL EVERY ONE FROM AUS NEED THIS
* 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.
* Entry requirements for Visa On Arrival
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.
There are no compulsory vaccinations.
To get your VOA visitors to Bali enter through the following: Air - Ngurah Rai airport in Denpasar, there is a new international being built up near the old Capital City of Singaraja, eventually. 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.

Thanks for your information on visa requirements, exit tax amounts etc. We have been to Bali many times over the last 30 years however we have booked online for our next holiday and as it has been a couple of years since our last visit, it was great to access your website for clear concise information on the current requirements .
Thanks heaps
as I website possessor I believe the subject matter here is real great , appreciate it for your efforts.
we are going for the first time in being of Nov this year and need all the help we can get, so this web site is very helpfull. thanks
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
Thanks for sharing all this information it certainly has been very helpful.
I am heading to bali (first time traveler) with my partners brothers and sisters for there little brothers 18th birthday in November this year.
Off to read some more!
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!
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.
I am planning on going to bali this july, however I do not know how to apply for a tourist visa since Iam not Australian citizen. I know I need a tourist visa but I can’t find any information on how or where to apply for one.
Any Suggestions?
