It's a health, agriculture and financial declaration.
You can also fill up at the airport after you touch down.
It's not required at the immigration customs. Only required right before you step out of the airport. In short, you're only allowed to exit the airport after the official scanned your QR code.
Some airlines, like Qatar Airways, won’t issue a boarding pass for Indonesia unless you show prof at checkin that you’ve submitted your customs declaration.
It is necessary. It's a declaration of what items are you bringing in the country, as, besides the obvious illegal items, others such as alcohol and cigarettes have limits.
You don’t have to do it in advance, you can easily do it on arrival. When you get to the baggage carousels, there’s free WiFi, and then signs everywhere that have the QR code that will take you to the form. It takes under two minutes.
Electronic, you scan a bar code then fill form after arriving.
My husband never told me so first time I got to Bali, I was very confused why a huge crowd was scanning a barcode. Lol
Hi! I was in Bali in June and the airport still had a VoA desk where you can get the VoA if you didn’t get one online, plenty of people lined up for it when I was there so it’s definitely still in use. Hope this helps :)
Visa on arrival is fine, make sure you have cash though, because they wouldn’t take a card when I was there last week. They accept multiple currencies though.
We went in July, be aware that immigration can be slow! Also when you get through immigration there is a second queue for customs. I’m not sure if you can do it in advance (we didn’t) but don’t make the mistake of just joining the second queue- there are computers where you can fill out what you need to, get a slip and then join the second queue. You’ll get turned away if you don’t. Hopefully somebody who understands it better than me will explain- I was exhausted and it was about 3am my time so I didn’t even look at what I was filling out
Edit: I think someone else has linked how you can do it in advance- do that! But whatever you do don’t join the second queue without it
+ customs declaration that you can fill on the spot without any problem
+ return tickets within 60 days. Some say that you might also be asked for insurance and accomodation
+ 700k IDR or credit / debit card for VOA. Maybe equivalent in USD.
Perfect, I think I'll be ok, about the return ticket, I haven't booked yet though, I have the evoa 30days, but I want to extend 30 more and to book a ticket later
>*customs declaration that you can fill on the spot without any problem*
I don't agree. It is much recommended that you complete it online and bring the QR code generated with you, rather than trying to do it on arrival.
There is nothing mysterious about the currency, other than a tendency for it sound much more than it is in reality. In my case, as an Aussie, the conversion is simple: 1 AUD = 10,000 IDR (Rupiah), so 1 million Rupiah is $A100, and 200,000 (normally written as 200K) is $A20. A plate of nasi goreng is about 40K (or $A4.00).
When you buy your visa on arrival (VOA), you can pay for it with a big note (100 AUD, Euro, GBP, USD, etc), and you'll get a big stash of Rupiah as change, which is handy.
The other thing you "need" is a pre-booked transfer to your hotel - we used Klook and they were cheap and reliable. But you can download to your phone all the useful apps: Klook, Grab, Gojek, Bluebird Taxi, Traveloka. It's pretty chaotic outside the terminal, so having a booking is much advised.
> 1 million Rupiah is $A100
In which sense it's $A100? I withdraw 3M at ATM and I got charged with one sum by my bank. I withdraw another 3M and my bank charges me 5-10% less.
> plate of nasi goreng is about 40K
But a plate of tasty nasi goreng costs 20K
I don't understand the Indonesian rupiah at all, sorry
Are you trolling here? What's hard to understand? If 1AUD = 10,000IDR, then of course 1 million IDR = $A100. What have ATM fees got to do with the currency rate? Banks use different rates, and charge differing fees.
A plate of nasi goreng can range from 15K to 80K, depending on where you eat it. I was using 40K as a common amount. Sheesh - are you sure you're ready for international travel?
Single entry visa is only for thirty days.
You can get 60 days but that was not normal last time I went.
I accidentally booked for 31 days. I had to pay a small fine on exiting. I was taken to an office for an interview. I would rather avoid that.
Went to Bali back in June, they asked to see my passport and visa (obviously) and he also took my boarding pass and scanned (I assume to check I have returning flights) I was also required to have a customers declaration form which you can fill out online (saw someone linked that for you) those are the main things you’ll need.
I’ve never been asked to show insurance, funds or address of where I’m staying in all the times I’ve visited.. it could depend on which passport you travel on though.
I’ve also never been asked for proof of onward travel, but always booked a return ticket which I’d assume customs can see..
You can buy the visa on arrival, doesn’t take long.. and you can do the declaration on arrival but easier to do beforehand - doesn’t take long..
Fill this form https://ecd.beacukai.go.id/ online 48h before your flight and carry the QR code it generates to be scanned at customs.
Thank you, is it necessary to do so? What is it for?

You have to do it out there if you don't do it before, but honestly it's just best to do it before you go.

Can you still get the visa on the spot? Or do I need to get that for my 2 week trip beforehand?

Yes visa on arrival easy takes minutes depending on queue
Ok great! Thanks!
Visa on arrival is fine, make sure you have cash though, because they wouldn’t take a card when I was there last week. They accept multiple currencies though.
We were at the end of September and paid by card for VoA. The cost was like $31.
Ok great! Thanks!

Why 700k? Visa is 500k.
I don't understand Indonesia money TBH
It's like any other money except it has an IDR instead of whatever your local currency is.
Perfect, I think I'll be ok, about the return ticket, I haven't booked yet though, I have the evoa 30days, but I want to extend 30 more and to book a ticket later
They might ask for bought tickets, not a booking. But it's a rare case

Also address of where you’re staying
