Travellers heading to Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta and Juanda International Airport in Surabaya will also be required to follow the new entry rules from Monday.

“This requirement will be extended to all international airports in Indonesia from 1 October,” the Australian Government’s Smartraveller warned.

“You can apply for the e-Visa on Arrival (e-VOA) through the All Indonesia website after submitting your All Indonesia Arrival Card online.”

Australians heading to the popular holiday island will need to apply for their All Indonesia card at least 48 hours before they travel.

The All Indonesia system has been introduced to help streamline and replaces multiple forms, including Bali’s health declaration forms, customs, quarantine and immigration declarations.

This does not include the $15 Bali tourist tax travellers are also now required to pay.

Before entering Indonesia, travellers are encouraged to read the Bali Provincial Government’s Do’s and Don’ts advice for foreign tourists before heading off.

These range from respecting local temples, customs and traditions to adhering to all specific provisions and rules that apply to each tourist attraction and tourist activity.

Smartraveller also advises Australians to check visa conditions and entry and exit requirements before travelling.
