Bali entry requirments and regulations.

Stay updated with the official government regulations regarding Bali Entry Requirements .

General travel requirements to Bali include Customs, Covid Vaccination status, plus more.

Below we will answer all the questions you may have about your eligibility to enter Bali.

Visa Regulations

Bali Visa regulations relate to how long you plan to stay in Bali, Visa on Arrival, B211a, Valid and expired passports etc.

You may find on our Bali Visa Page .

Bali Quarantine and Travel Requirements

Are there international flights to bali.

ABSOLUTELY. The number of flights to Bali may be lesser than before. Still, airlines are gradually including it again in their schedules, with airfares increasing significantly due to the pandemic – Singapore Air, KLM, Qatar, and Jetstar are among them. However, they aren’t as frequent anymore.

Do I Need a Visa to Enter Bali?

Depending on your nationality, the purpose of travel and the duration of stay, you can find out what documents are required for your visit. Please click the button below to check which visa requirements apply to you.

Bali Visa Regulations.

Do I Need a B211A Visit Visa?

If your country is not included in the list of visa-free and Visa on Arrival to Bali countries, or if you are planning to stay for more than 60 days, then a B211A Visit Visa is necessary. It’s worth noting that the original Visa on Arrival has been improved, so it now covers business meetings, sourcing and purchasing goods, transit activities, and government duties.

Can I Visit Bali Now?

Exciting news for international travellers! Indonesia has relaxed most of its travel restrictions and visa requirements, enabling visitors to explore the country’s gorgeous landscapes. However, specific steps still need to be taken to enter Indonesia safely and hassle-free; let this page guide you through these crucial details so your trip is smooth sailing!

Covid Requirements for Travelling to Bali?

Travellers who are fully vaccinated DO NOT need to quarantine and can now travel into Indonesia without a PCR test.

After receiving two (or more) doses of Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, or other approved COVID-19 vaccinations , travellers can confidently enter Bali, Indonesia with peace of mind that they are safe from any potential risk of catching it more in Bali than anywhere else in the world. 

Unvaccinated

For the unvaccinated, entry into Bali/Indonesia is possible; however, only with a Medical Exemption Letter. Your doctor should provide this letter and explain any comorbid diseases or other conditions that would prevent you from receiving vaccinations.

However, this will not apply if you remain unvaccinated due to personal choices rather than medical reasons – in which case entry will unfortunately not be permitted.

If you have already recovered from Covid-19 and only received one dose of the vaccine, a recovery certificate will be required to travel to Bali. This document proves that you are no longer an active transmitter of Covid-19. Without this certificate, entry into Bali is strictly prohibited.

Proof of Vaccination

To travel to Bali, Indonesia, you must present a valid digital or printed proof of Covid Vaccination with the final dose taken 14 days prior. Although officials may not check your status upon arrival in Indonesia, airlines typically verify this requirement when checking in. Therefore, you must meet this criterion for entry.

Date of Vaccination (Expiry)

Currently, Indonesia does not have an expiration date for vaccinations; instead, it simply monitors the number of vaccinated people.

At this moment, no other quarantine conditions are necessary. You will be qualified to enter Indonesia following the abovementioned regulations, or you won’t be able to make your way into the country. 

Regulations can often fluctuate, and different airlines may enforce the rules more strictly than others. Unfortunately, some carriers might even struggle to stay up-to-date with changing regulations and could ask for documentation that is no longer necessary. Consequently, verifying your airline’s requirements before you travel to Indonesia is essential to avoid any unnecessary complications during your trip.

What Other Documents Do I Need for Bali?

Accelerate your arrival in Bali by completing the ONLINE Customs Declaration Form: E-CD (Electronic Custom Declaration).

Airlines and immigration authorities may require you to have a return ticket within the time frame of your visa validity.

Also, ensure that your passport is valid for at least six months from arrival, or they will deny entry! Finally, fill out all paperwork BEFORE you arrive to save time in airport customs when visiting Bali.

It is essential to ensure your passport has an empty page before embarking on any international journey.

Additionally, please be aware that Emergency Passports and Temporary Travel Documents are no longer acceptable forms of travel documentation.

To assist with a smooth transition amid this pandemic, we strongly recommend downloading a “Travel Health App” before travelling abroad for all necessary health advisories and updates.

Bali Travel Regulations FAQs

Those under 18 years of age typically don’t require vaccinations; however, if they apply for a B211A Visa (not the one issued upon arrival), they must provide a medical statement indicating why vaccination is impossible.

Following January 2023, the President officially abolished all COVID-related travel limitations (PPKM measures), such as testing and mask-wearing. As a result, the situation is entirely under control, with so many millions of people now vaccinated.

Top 5 airlines serving from Indonesia to Australia

Good, ontime performance...hard products is somewhat out of date

Food quality can be improved for the price of the ticket.

On air services are excellent. The Garuda Lounge at Terminal 3 Soekarno-Hatta International Airport need to have special management attention in cleanliness and the service quality.

I hopefully cancelled this flight and will get a refund. I am disappointed that you did not stop alerts about this flight and seem to think we went on it. It doesn't seem like your company communicates well internally. Also from my end, I hope you have some clout to resolve things. That has to be part of the package you offer. Thank You, William Ashley

At CGK, need to walk from one gate all the way to the other gate to board the plane. Which makes me wonder, why can’t we just gather at the correct gate in the first place?

The seats are so uncomfortable. The food doesn't exist unless you pay. Disappointed

This time is good . Don’t cancel flight with out early notice .

Very good experience, considering the short flight the meals were served promptly after takeoff.

X class seats in row 3 with the new configuration are very poor in fact I feel 3B and 3E should no longer be considered as X class seat as there is no forward seat pocket available to these seats and greatly reduced leg room due the intrusion of the business class armrests/table module

It was pretty good. Everyone friendly. Like all airlines, the draconian limitations on baggage and weight and not giving even a free soda kind of drags down the experience a bit.

Last 10 minutes boarding they canceled the flight and didn’t organise anything

Estheticly the plane looks great, although the seats are way too upright. If the seats were just slightly more reclined then the comfort level would increase tenfold. I had the stiffest neck after just a short flight due to this. A nap was almost out of the question.

Cabin crew were very professional and welcoming. They certainly appeared to have lifted their game. Congratulations

I know not directly a Virgin "thing" but I hold Virgin responsible for their subcontractors. Had to wait 45 minutes waiting for baggage at PER before the belt conveyor even started. This is unacceptable and hopefully Virgin engages with whoever to pull their fingers out. I realise PER staff are generally slow at the best of times but this was ridiculous. Maybe more seating for those waiting, a cafe in the baggage area for a light meal while we wait or at the very least a troop of dancing girls to entertain the punters while they stare at the conveyor belt start light almost willing it to fire up.

Very poor. Flight was cancelled due to captain exceeding hours. Told to fend for ourselves for 12 hours until a new flight could be done. This meant overnight accommodation in Hobart. Next plane was delayed and no food onboard. No apologies from Virgin. Extremely disappointing.

The seats are too close together and are smaller than they used to be. Makes for a cramped experience.

The international flight from Sydney to Dallas had great food. I have travelled a lot over the years and this has been the most memorable in my experience so far.

flight delayed, wait in crowded gate. staff inattentive. had to remind them to get my coat from their closet. not many new movies, media choices were limited (nothing compared to Emirates.) Lounge was crowded

flight delayed, wait in crowded gate. staff inattentive. had to remind them to get my coat from their closet. not many new movies, media choices were limited (nothing compared to Emirates.)

Initial flight was cancelled so moved to an alternative flight. As a result, stuck in a middle seat. Flight then place in holding pattern prior to landing resulting in a very late trip home.

There was nothing I didn’t like, prices a little lower would help

Flight delay was informed at the last minute. Food quality is not up to Qantas standard I was unable to book an online boarding pass on any of my 6 flights.

Following a marathon flight riddled by delays and changes from Santiago, Chile, my flight to Melbourne from Sydney was on schedule but I was transferred to the next flight. The reason by ticketing and the floor manager was I missed the entry to flight by one minute! That's right, the emphasised that if I was 1 minute earlier I would be on the flight. I asked what was the point them emphasising 1minute overdue and how that helped me or the situation. They didn't care at all. Replying that if it was one minute earlier they would've done something and smirking delivering the information. Australian's do call Australia home, Qantas calls Australian's suckers.

Rescheduled after ticket purchased and issued, not 2 or 3 times and not a fourth but by 5 times, by Qantas, that's right, 5 changes! Forcing an overnight stay in Chile and need for visa. Qantas can no longer provide basic services as a national or international service provider. Professionalism is extinct and the provider needs to be mentored and educated in perfecting who to operate as an airline. Qantas is the spirit of Australian dissatisfaction.

Amazing! Was put on the earlier flight and I requested for an aisle seat and was given it. Thanks Qantas!

a constant reminder that you need to work harder so you can avoid this airline

For some reason the cabin was kept very cold. Unlike my flight over which i would say was excellent this was a long, cold flight home.

Note that food has to be purchased in flight. No free food. And no entertainment in flight. So I’ve treated these two items as okay which, in this case, means neutral/not applicable.

My Dad needed assistance to board the plane. The Jetstar staff were excellent with him and made the experience a lot easier😁

No food taken so can't rate also no entertainment so can't rate.

Boarding was easy and unstressful, though the early "final call" was a bit off-putting. The crew were pleasant, and the seats were comfortable. The prices for food and drink were reasonable, apart from tea and coffee, where simple percolated coffee was charged at espresso prices. Deboarding was OK, though some Jetstar passengers appear to have a bad habit of pushing forward from their assigned rows, making it more difficult to get out for passengers that have paid a premium to sit up-front. Jetstar might want to look to address this to stop it from spreading.

I got to the airport earlier than I expected, and they let me change to an earlier flight with no trouble.

The price difference/saving isn't sufficient to compensate the experience difference, don't recommend unless flight is under 3 hours. Huge queues for check in and the priority lane of other ailines blocked checked in Jetstar passengers from proceeding through to screening. Gate change to a "dungeon gate" that didn't have toilets in the vicinity. 45minute delay in boarding, no updates or explaination, let alone apology for any inconvenience. 1 scanner working for a full fight to board, no coordination. Loaded on to crowded buses to get on the plane in the middle of the tarmac, up stairs with no explaination. 4 bus trips. No system for boarding in sections. Over an hour late departing. Nothing complimentary, not even water or in-flight music. Pay wave not available and no cash sales. Staff onboard were friendly and professional.

Flight was delayed by 1 hour, we board then had to sit on the tarmac for another hour before take off. The flight was fine but again another delay with the baggage which took another hour to appear on the carousel.

It was a super crowded time to travel out of Melbourne, but the flight was OK

Due to very heavy rain in Jakarta which caused bad floods on the highways the captain kindly delayed the departure to allow many passengers to reach the plane with almost 2 hours delay. Otherwise the flight was smooth and uneventful. I was disappointed that given the long delays the passengers were not even treated to a free bottle of water. I had to buy a packet of salted peanuts and bottle of water since I missed lunch.

They don t offer even a glass of water need to buy a drink if you are tursty they can save money and timeby cancel the food offer for 1 hr fly both fly nobody buy and try sale on boad thinkthe we can buyduty free store

Compared with other LCC, Air Asia is a lot better

AirAsia is running a bait scam by listing a lot of flights to get as much booking as possible but ending up merging the flights to fill the seat. They will change the schedule as much as they would like. Just beware when booking their flights and if you are tight on schedule. Prepare to be disappointed.

We had an emergency seat to more comfortable and more leg room. It was good for a budget airline

Liked the food. It’s was delicious! The cleanliness was average.. we saw dried liquid stains on the seat head in front. The flight was delayed. My experience with other airlines is that the flight crew usually announces an apology for the delay . Maybe air Asia doesn’t deem it necessary.. In summary the only positive that stood out was the food.

My flight got cancelled 7 days before departure, the the replacement flight was cancelled again and I was not notified, but found out during check in.

Delayed by 2 plus hours and utter chaos at the boarding gate. Boarding gate changed twice. People were stuck at the boarding gate with no access to food water or medicine.

The seats are not great and there is no entertainment. However, it is a discount line, the people are great, check in was easy, the food options were decent and inexpensive, the flight was on time, and we arrived safely. No complaints for the cost. Would fly again!

Indonesia's free school lunch and milk policy a 'significant' opportunity for Australian farmers

Australia's dairy industry is licking its lips at the prospect of increased demand from Indonesia.

One of the key policies for Indonesia's president-elect, Prabowo Subianto, is to provide free lunches and milk to Indonesian school students.

The program is set to begin next year at an estimated initial cost of over $11 billion (120 trillion rupiah).

Dairy Australia's Charlie McElhone was in Jakarta this week and said the school lunch proposal would see milk required for 83 million school children.

"These are huge numbers and a huge task in front of the Indonesians and there was a strong interest [this week] in how Australia and Indonesia can work together to service that need," he said.

"We're still gathering more information as to what this will all look like ... and whether the demand will be for milk powders or UHT milk, but the opportunity is really significant."

He said Indonesia was already Australia's third-largest export market for dairy, worth about $130 million a year.

Mr McElhone said the per capita consumption of dairy in Indonesia was about 15 litres per year, compared to Australia which is over 300 litres per year.

Opportunities for various industries

Meat and Livestock Australia's general manager for international markets, Andrew Cox, was also in Jakarta this week with the Australian Food and Wine Collaboration Group.

He says Indonesia is buying more boxed beef from Australia and is our nation's number one customer for beef offal.

"It's a great market for some of the products that perhaps aren't in high demand in Australia such as [beef] lungs, tongue and hearts," he said.

"Every time I'm in Indonesia I always try some delicious snacks made from these products."

Mr Cox said Mr Prabowo's school lunch program was a major talking point and could open opportunities for a number of commodities.

"There's an air of excitement around this particular policy, especially from the dairy industry," he said.

"But there's also food opportunities, such as beef which is at the heart of their culture and cuisine.

"Australia is a great supplier of quality produce and there's some good opportunities with the new Indonesian president's interest in health nutrition for Indonesian school children."

Speaking to Bloomberg at the 2024 Qatar Economic Forum this month, Mr Prabowo said his core focus stepping into the role of president would be food security.

"We are determined to bring down poverty in a massive campaign; I'm determined to get rid of hunger amongst our people, especially the young," he said.

"In my heart I cannot accept that in this day and age, [in] Indonesia — the fourth-largest population in the world — many of my people are still living a very, very difficult life and I believe with my leadership I can contribute a lot to bettering the life of my people."

Australia and Indonesia have long had an uneasy relationship, over issues ranging from Timor-Leste’s independence to asylum seekers and bans on live cattle export to the aftermath of the Bali bombings.

While the politics have long been challenging, there’s reason to believe a change may be coming. One of the fastest-growing economies in the world, Indonesia has long been powered by coal. Now, it’s endeavouring to go green through renewables, grid modernisation, electric vehicles and geothermal.

That’s where Australia comes in. In March this year, the two nations formalised a climate partnership , named KINETIK. Through the agreement, Indonesia will secure supplies of lithium for EV batteries, and Australia will gain more export markets for its critical minerals, as well as potential access to the batteries’ industry supply chain.

Why has the relationship been rocky?

Since winning independence from the Dutch, Indonesia has focused heavily on keeping its many islands and ethnic groups united.

But Australia’s role has sometimes been destabilising. During the Cold War, Australian agencies backed the Indonesian army’s bloody purges of communists.

Australia also backed the cause of East Timorese secession. In 1998, Australian Prime Minister John Howard wrote to Indonesia’s President, B.J Habibie, pushing for East Timorese independence. A year later, over 5,500 Australian soldiers arrived as peacekeepers during a tense referendum over the region’s future.

Many people in Indonesia saw Australia’s involvement as a threat to national unity and cohesion. Before Howard and Indonesia’s next president, Megawati Soekarnoputri, had time to restore the relationship, tensions ramped up again after the 2002 terrorist bombings in Bali which killed 88 Australians .

Four years later, the Australian decision to grant temporary protection visas to 43 asylum seekers from Papua, which has long sought independence from Indonesia, led Indonesia’s ambassador to Canberra to be recalled .

This diplomatic incident bore positive fruit, resulting in improved dialogue and, the same year, the signing of the Lombok Treaty , in which both countries promised not to interfere with the sovereignty of the other.

Since then, Australia has been diplomatically silent on other Indonesian territorial issues, such as the separatist movement in Papua.

Despite these efforts, many differences remain. Experts have often warned the relationship is tenuous.

In 2019, the two nations signed a new Comprehensive Economic Partnership after a tortuous negotiation period. With a focus on climate change and energy transition, this paved the way for this year’s announcement.

In a broader context, this partnership also illustrates Australia’s approach as a middle power nation to counterbalance China’s increasing economic dominance in the Indo-Pacific region.

Could the green transition help the relationship?

In 2022, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese visited Indonesia, where he promised A$200 million to kickstart climate and infrastructure projects.

Now we have a formalised partnership . This is an important step, which should improve the political relationship.

The two nations already trade $18 billion of goods and services yearly, centred on Australian coal and beef and Indonesian fertilisers and petrol.

But there is room for much more growth. Indonesia’s population is young and large, with almost 280 million people. By 2030, estimates suggest it could be the world’s fifth-largest economy.

If the KINETIK partnership works, it will be because it offers both nations what they need – Australia gets a new export market for green minerals, technology and know-how, and Indonesia starts to shift away from coal.

The agreement builds on a memorandum of understanding on electric vehicles and another between Export Finance Australia and Indonesia’s State-owned Electricity Company last year.

What are we likely to see as tangible outcomes?

Indonesia perches on the Pacific Ring of Fire, with a number of active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes. This also means the archipelago nation has huge geothermal resources, estimated at 40% of the world’s total . Many geothermal plants are already running .

But making the most of the resource faces many technological challenges. The best underground heat resources tend to be located in mountains or in isolated areas. The KINETIK partnership could help through connecting Australian mining expertise to Indonesia’s deep heat resources.

Australia’s expertise in using renewables to power isolated communities will be vital to make exploration easier. And Australian investors will be allowed to own a majority share of Indonesian geothermal plants.

The partnerships are expected to align with Indonesia’s National Energy Policy , which aims in part to shift from exporting raw energy resources and critical minerals to exporting value-added energy products through downstream projects such as EV and battery industries.

Australia is home to the world’s largest hard-rock lithium mine, Greenbushes. The new partnership will open up options for Indonesian battery manufacturers to access this key metal.

Indonesia, in turn, is rich in nickel, which will be needed in great quantities for green technologies. In fact, cheaper Indonesian nickel has pushed some Australian producers out of the market. Indonesia has already secured commercial deals with EV and battery manufacturers such as Hyundai and LG from South Korea, as well as Foxconn from Taiwan.

Will this be enough?

Politically, the relationship between Indonesia and Australia has long been thorny. A new focus on mutual advantageous investment could help, especially given the deal has strong political backing on both sides. Developing electric vehicles in Indonesia was also a key campaign issue for the newly elected Indonesian president, Prabowo Subianto.

From the Australian side, the agreement bolsters the Albanese government’s push to make the nation a green energy superpower .

Of course, many agreements stay on paper and don’t shape the real world. But this one has a better chance, given the alignment between Indonesia’s efforts to make itself part of the electric vehicle supply chain, and Australia’s dream of becoming a green superpower.

Bilateral agreements like these also show how the world is changing. More and more, middle power cooperation is emerging as a counterbalance against the intensifying Chinese-American rivalry.

It’s also a positive sign Australia has realised the need to more actively build alliances across the Indo-Pacific region.
