Documents Required , Bali E-Visa Checklist
-
โ
Indian passport , valid 6+ months from arrival date
Must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date in Bali. Must have at least 2 blank visa pages for entry and exit stamps. The passport must be in good physical condition , water damage, torn pages, loose lamination on the bio-data page, or heavy creasing can cause Indonesian immigration to flag or deny entry. Unlike some countries, Indonesian officers are known to be strict about passport condition.
-
โ
e-VOA PDF with QR code Most Critical
Applied online at evisa.imigrasi.go.id. Apply 7 to 14 days before departure. The approved e-VOA is a PDF with your QR code , save to your phone and consider printing. This is your actual visa. Without it, you join the airport VOA queue (45 to 90 minutes peak season). With it, you use the automated e-Gates and clear in minutes.
-
โ
Bali Tourist Levy QR code Most Critical
Paid at lovebali.baliprov.go.id (official site only , IDR 150,000, approximately Rs 780). You receive a QR code voucher. Scanned at a separate checkpoint after immigration clearance. Can also be paid at the BRI Bank counter in the airport arrivals hall if you did not pay online.

You receive a QR code that gets scanned at immigration. Mandatory since August 2025 , without it, you fill manually on arrival adding 15 to 20 minutes.
-
โ
Return or onward flight ticket
Indonesia immigration expects proof you are leaving before your visa expires. A confirmed return ticket to India or an onward ticket to another country. Screenshot on phone is accepted but a printout is safer. Book it before you fly , trying to show a flexible or open-ended ticket raises questions.
-
โ
Hotel booking confirmation
Your accommodation for at least the first night, shown on the arrival card. Booking.com or Agoda confirmation on your phone is fine. You need the hotel name and street address for the arrival card.
