After arriving in Indonesia or Bali, follow these steps to quickly enjoy your vacation:
- Disembark
When you arrive at Bali Airport, follow instructions to disembark. - Apply/Pay for Visa on Arrival
If you haven’t applied for an electronic visa in advance, your first stop should be the Visa on Arrival (VoA) counter at the airport.
▶️ VoA or eVoA? See Indonesia/Bali eVisa Complete Guide - Complete Online Health Declaration Form
To prevent the spread of infectious diseases like monkeypox and pneumonia, travelers must complete the “Health Declaration (SSHP)”.
▶️ How to fill it out? See SSHP Instructions - Queue at Immigration - Visa/Passport Check
At the immigration counter, you’ll need to queue for passport and visa verification. Ensure your passport and visa documents are ready. - Electronic Immigration Service
If you have an electronic visa, skip step 4 and use the “Automatic Immigration Gates” available at Jakarta International Airport and Bali International Airport.
▶️ How to use automatic immigration? See Bali Automatic Immigration Process Guide - Collect Luggage
After completing immigration/automatic immigration, proceed to the baggage claim area to collect your luggage. - Customs Inspection
The final checkpoint is customs inspection. Complete the electronic customs declaration (e-CD) in advance and present it to customs officers. Be sure to follow regulations and avoid bringing prohibited items like fruits, plants, or excess foreign currency.
