On September 1, 2025, Indonesia introduced a mandatory digital arrival card All Indonesia for all foreign tourists. Initially, it will be valid at the three largest airports — Bali (Denpasar), Jakarta, and Surabaya. And from October 1, the requirement will extend to all international airports in the country, including Sumatra, Komodo, Makassar, and Manado.
The All Indonesia card combines several documents that previously had to be filled out separately: customs declaration (e-CD), SATUSEHAT medical form, as well as immigration and quarantine data. Now tourists will be able to complete everything online before their trip, which will speed up the control process.
The form must be completed on the website no earlier than 3 days before the date of entry. The declaration must include personal and contact details, flight number, and hotel name.
In addition, from October 1, 2025, a tourist tax of 150,000 Indonesian rupiah (approximately USD 14) will be introduced. It can be paid either online or upon arrival.
Please note!
To enter Bali, you need to fill out a customs declaration. This can be done online upon arrival. At the airport, there are banners with a QR code that you need to scan to get to the page for filling out the declaration. However, in order not to waste time upon arrival, we recommend filling it out in advance on the official website.
Some airlines also require a completed declaration before boarding. It must be filled out no earlier than two days before arrival in Bali. We recommend that you check the rules of your airline for this information.
When entering Indonesia, a new mandatory requirement has been introduced - filling out an electronic questionnaire on the website sshp.kemkes.go.id. This is a precautionary measure aimed at preventing the importation of monkeypox (mpox).
In the questionnaire, you need to indicate:
- Countries you have visited in the last 21 days;
- The presence of symptoms characteristic of monkeypox;
- Information about contacts with people who have symptoms of mpox.
Important!
Starting in 2024, all international tourists coming to Bali must pay a tourist tax of 150,000 IDR (approximately 9-10 USD). This fee is aimed at supporting environmental and cultural initiatives on the island. Payment is made through the official platform before arrival or directly on the spot at Denpasar Airport.
If you are a citizen of one of the 9 countries for which the visa-free regime is in effect, you do not need a visa to enter Bali. The visa-free regime is valid only for 30 days and, unlike the e-VOA (visa on arrival), cannot be extended and is intended for tourist purposes only.

Visa-free citizens traveling to Bali in 2025 must present a valid passport to Indonesian immigration authorities upon arrival at the border. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months. In addition, you must have additional documents confirming the trip, such as a return ticket.
If tourists from visa-free countries want to stay in Bali for more than 30 days, they need to apply for an Indonesian visa.
The visa allows you to enter the country for 30 days with the possibility of another 30-day extension, after which you must leave Bali. To obtain a single-entry visa, you will need $35 and a return ticket or a ticket to a third country + insurance with coverage of at least $25,000.
