Check your passport

Check your passport

You must have at least 6 months until your passport expiry date at the time you want to ENTER Indonesia.

Make sure there are no tears, water damage, or pen marks on important data.

The new passports have plastic data pages, but unfortunately the seams are not strong.

If you do have any damage, you may be denied boarding. 

But what is damage?

1. Tears in any page, not stitching coming apart, but an actual tear.  You cannot have any missing pages, and if a page is falling off you cannot use the passport

2. Watermarks, watermarks that have caused discoloration or paper to buckle.

3. Pen marks, or any marks that are over data or your photo.

4. Stains, no coffee stains etc

5. Severe creases to the data page or cover

Even Babies require a visa.

Visa on Arrival (VOA) allows a 30-day stay in Bali and can be used to visit all over Indonesia,

The VOA is available for citizens of 97 countries (see drop down below for countries list) .

The cost is 500,000 IDR when paid directly to immigration.

You can currently still purchase the VOA at the airport when you arrive.

Make sure you have an email address for them to use (and you can access), so you can use the smart gates after paying for your visa (for over 6 years old). 

 Immigration VOA desk officers will have you fill your details in on a tablet. 

If you have children, there is a fast lane for children and elderly.

For 30 visa day online, this is still the easiest way to obtain your visa

 https://evisa.imigrasi.go.id/web/application_bvk.

 You just need your passport, your phone and a credit card. However, we do not suggest using this currently if you wish to renew for 30 days, as the system is glitching for renewals (we will keep this updated, so check back to this page if you plan to stay longer than 30 days)

TIP: Its an instant system, so you can do it after you check in at the airport, while waiting to board your flight (if the airport WIFI is good)

HELP: If you do your visa, paid, and now you cant find it. Here is how to find your visa https://www.c-bali.com/tourist-visas/how-to-find-your-e-voa
