Before you can sit by the pool sipping tropical drinks and dining on delicious Balinese cuisine, there is a bit of paperwork that needs to be done so you can enter Indonesia from Australia. Luckily, it's not complicated and we're here to share everything you need to know about Bali tourist visas for Australians.

Do you need a visa for Bali as an Australian?

Yes, and you can get it on arrival at the airport in Denpasar or in Jakarta, if you're connecting through the capital. Australians do qualify for the Visa on Arrival program, which currently costs 500,000 Indonesian Rupiah (IDR), or about AU$50.

This allows you to stay in Indonesia for 30 days, and it can be extended once for a total of 60 days.

Can a visa be organised in advance?

Yes! And you'll probably want to, as line ups at Bali's I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport can be long and slow. In fact, Traveloka can even help you skip the queue.

We've recently introduced a fuss-free visa program where we can sort an Indonesian visa for you for no additional cost than it would be at the airport. You can add this on to any hotel or flight booking to Bali or elsewhere in Indonesia.

Indonesia visa requirements for Australians

The process for visas is pretty simple, but there are a few requirements:

You'll need to provide a clear copy of your passport: The image will need to be in landscape form, not have anything covered by a hand holding it and the copy on the page needs to be legible.

You'll need to provide a photo: While it doesn't need to be a professional passport photo, you'll need to upload a JPEG/JPG/PNG file in colour, that's at least 400x600px and less than 2mb in size. The photo should also have a white background.

Your total stay needs to be less than 30 days in Bali: Visas on Arrival are only valid for 30 days.

... but if your total stay is more than 30 days: There are two options. First, you can extend your initial 30-day Visa on Arrival once, for a maximum stay of 60 days. Alternatively, you can obtain a C-Type visa (previously called 211A), valid for 60 days.

Tourist Tax: Starting from 14 February 2024, Bali has implemented a tourist tax of IDR 150,000 (approximately AUD 15) per person. This fee is used to support the preservation of Balinese culture and environment.
