Bali Tourist Visa | tourist visa bali

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.

* 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.

* There are restrictions on the size of the hand luggage you can take on board the plane. From Air Asia i got this { by the way we traveled with Air Asia } All guests (except infants) are allowed only one (1) piece of hand carry luggage on board provided that it does not exceed the dimensions of 56cm X 36cm X 23cm and does not weigh more than 7kg” The following link is for Qantas  * Qantas Baggage * so check with your own airline.

* There are restrictions on what you can carry in your hand luggage. As i do not have a complete list check with your airline, i have included some websites to help.                            Liquids, aerosols and gels.                                                                                                            The following extract is from the Australian Government website and for the full page click here   * Australian Gov Website*    Liquid, aerosol or gel products must be in containers of 100 millilitres/grams or less. The containers must be carried in one transparent, resealable plastic bag. The four sides of the bag’s sealed area must add up to no more than 80 centimetres (e.g. 20×20 cm or 15×25 cm). The plastic bag must be the type that can be sealed and resealed with a sealing mechanism, like a sandwich bag or freezer bag. No flammable liquids allowed.                                                                                                 Dangerous Items.
Dangerous  items should be obvious and include knives, razor blades, nail files, letter openers, knitting and crochet needles, corkscrews, metal scissors and basically anything that can harm another passenger.  Use the following links from the * Australian Gov Prohibited Items *  and * Qantas Dangerous-Goods *

* Your hand luggage will be scanned and if you try to take things on board the plane that you should not it will be confiscated.

* It is easier to pack shampoo and medication etc not required for the flight or anything else into  your suitcase.

* Use your common sense and all should be ok, there are many thousands of people going on overseas holiday every year with out fuss and enjoying them selves.

* One thing to remember, illegal drugs in Indonesia carry the death penalty if caught, do not do it!

* 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.
