How to Enter Bali in 2026: Every Link, Form and Price

Arriving in Bali in 2026: you need 3 essential documents

Planning a trip to Bali? Before you start dreaming about rice terraces and sunsets, there are a few things you need to sort out - and I'm not talking about packing.

I've been living in Bali for over two years and I still see people panicking when they need to find information about the exact entry rules.

At the end of 2025, the Indonesian government introduced some new forms that visitors need to fill in, which led to new scam websites that charge you for services that are completely free.

In this article I break down the 3 MAIN DOCUMENTS that you need for entering Bali in 2026:

1. Tourist Visa (e-VOA)

2. All Indonesia Arrival Card

3. Tourist Tax - Bali Levy

( bookmark or screenshot so you don’t forget the details )

1. Bali Visa on Arrival (e-VOA) 2026

All European citizens - and visitors from 90+ countries need a tourist visa to enter Indonesia. Your passport must be valid for a minimum of 6 months from your date of arrival.

Two options to get a Bali Tourist Visa:

1. Get it at the airport - You can get a Visa on Arrival at the counter when you land. But sometimes there are big queues, especially during peak season, and you won't be able to use the fast e-gates.

2. Apply online in advance (recommended) - The e-VOA (Electronic Visa on Arrival) is the smarter move. It gets issued almost immediately after payment, the process is extremely easy, and the best part is it lets you skip the visa queue entirely and you can use the automated e-gates at Ngurah Rai Airport. You can do it yourself, there is no need to do it via agency.

• Citizens of certain countries - may need to apply for a different visa type. Check the official list at evisa.imigrasi.go.id

Link to apply for eVOA: evisa.imigrasi.go.id

📌 Key details:

• Cost: Rp500,000 (~$35 USD / ~€30)

• Valid for 30 days from arrival, and should be used within 3 months of issuing

• Extendable once for an additional 30 days (same price), you will need to visit the Immigration center in Denpasar, Bali

• You'll need a passport photo and a confirmed return or onward ticket (they don’t always ask for it)

💡 Pro tip:

Apply as soon as your trip is within 3 months - it takes 10 minutes and saves you 30–45 minutes in line.

2. All Indonesia Arrival Card 2026

This is the digital form that replaced the old customs declaration, health form, and immigration arrival card - all combined into one single submission. It is mandatory for all international arrivals and it is FREE to submit.

Fill it in here:allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id - the only FREE website you should use

📌 Key details:

• Must be completed within 3 days (72 hours) before your arrival

• Free - no payment required

• You'll receive a QR code to show at immigration

• You'll need your passport details, flight info, and your accommodation address in Bali

💡 Pro tip:

You cannot do this much in advance. So once you book your tickets, just add this step as a reminder to your Calendar. It takes about 3 minutes. Have your hotel or villa address ready (the full address, not just "Bali").

⚠️ Scam warning:

There are websites which advertise the All Indonesia Arrival Card form and before submitting they will ask you to pay. This is a scam and the form is free to fill in and submit through the website above.

3. Bali Tourist Tax (Levy) 2026

Since February 2024, all international visitors arriving in Bali must pay a one-time tourism levy. This is separate from your visa and goes toward preserving Balinese culture, temples, and the natural environment.

Pay here online: lovebali.baliprov.go.id

📌 Key details:

• Cost: Rp150,000 per person (~$10 USD / ~€9)

• One-time payment per trip, regardless of how long you stay

• You'll receive a QR code via email - this is your proof of payment

• Payment by credit/debit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) or QRIS

What happens if you don't pay?

Tourism police conduct random spot checks at popular attractions like Uluwatu and Tanah Lot. If you can't show your QR code, you'll be asked to pay on the spot. You can also pay at the airport when you land, but doing it online before your flight saves time and avoids any stress.

💡 My tip:

Pay online, screenshot the QR code, and save it to your phone's photo favourites. The Love Bali website can be slow at times - if it's not loading, just try again later. Don't panic and don't use a third-party site.

⚠️ Scam warning:

Same story as the visa - scam websites advertising on Google charge up to 3-4x the official price. The only legitimate site is lovebali.baliprov.go.id. Anything else is overcharging you for a 2-minute form.

So, once you land at Bali airport, at immigration, you'll show:

① your e-VOA approval,

② your All Indonesia Arrival Card QR code

③ your Love Bali QR code may be checked at the same time

Some Travel Hacks for even smooter trip:

You've got the paperwork covered. Here's what else will make your first days much smoother:

• Get an eSIM Before You Land 📶 - my go to solution for staying connected

Don't waste time buying a SIM card at the airport. eSIMs activate instantly and you'll have internet the moment you land, which you'll need for Grab, Google Maps, and showing your QR codes.

I use and recommend Airalo- affordable plans, easy setup, and it works perfectly across Bali and the rest of Indonesia. You can set it up before you even board your flight. You can use my code KAROLI5252 to get $3 off your first purchase.

• Get Travel Insurance 🏥

Bali is generally safe, but hospitals here often require upfront payment and medical costs add up fast. Don't skip this.

I recommend using your country’s trusted Travel insurance company. I’ve used Allianz Travel insurance, which covers you for up to 90 days at a time.

As a digital nomad in Bali, visiting other countries, I switched to Genki. They offer a monthly subscription and a free cancelation.

Get Genki Health Insurance here.

Make sure your policy covers scooter riding if you plan to rent one - most basic policies don't.

• Money - get Wise or Revolut

Having Wise and Revolut when traveling anywhere in the world is extremely smart, and Bali is no exception.

In Indonesia, Wise is widely used and very practical.

You can sign up for Wise using my link here and open a free account. As a welcome reward, you can choose either a free physical card or zero transfer fees on your first transfer.

• Download These Apps 📱
