For entry into Indonesia, you need to fill out a customs declaration. This can be done online at the airport when you arrive in Bali. There are banners with QR codes at the airport that you can scan to access the declaration page. However, we recommend doing this in advance on the official website to save time and ensure a smooth entry process.
Some airlines may require passengers to have a completed customs declaration before boarding the flight. There have been cases of passengers being denied boarding for not having a completed declaration. Therefore, it is highly advisable to check the rules and requirements of your specific airline in advance to ensure a smooth travel experience. Always be prepared and informed to avoid any last-minute complications.
You can fill out the declaration no earlier than two days before your arrival in Indonesia. The process is straightforward and should only take a few minutes. Here's how to do it:
1. Go to the official website, If you do not understand Indonesian, switch the language to English.
