Customs and Tourist Taxes in Indonesia: real experience from chats

Short answer
Travelers entering Bali must provide a valid passport, an e-VOA or VOA, a completed electronic customs declaration, and proof of onward or return travel. It is recommended to have screenshots of your QR codes ready and to use an e-VOA to ensure compatibility with airport autogates.

From real experience

For entry into Bali, travelers need an e-visa and a completed Customs Declaration (ECD).
While immigration officers may not always ask for an outbound ticket, airlines often require proof of return or onward travel upon check-in. If caught without one, travelers sometimes book last-minute onward tickets to neighboring countries (e.g., Malaysia) via platforms like trip.com or use 'onward ticket' services.

Arrival procedures in Bali for international travelers usually include an E-Visa or VOA (Visa on Arrival), Customs Declaration (ECD) filled out online in advance, and a tourism tax payment.
Passport validity must be at least 6 months. Proof of an onward/return flight is often strictly enforced by airlines at the departure airport and immigration officials upon entry.

To enter Indonesia, tourists need both a VOA (Visa on Arrival) and a completed Customs Declaration (ECD/Electronic Customs Declaration).
The e-VOA can be processed online, while the standard VOA is available at the airport. Electronic gates (autogates) for immigration are available for biometric passports, but they may only be accessible if the visa is in the system (e-VOA is preferred for this).
✓ 1 report from chats
Entry requirements for Bali include a mandatory online customs declaration (All Indonesia).
Tourists should prepare screenshots of QR codes in advance. Travelers may be subject to manual inspection at customs. Automatic gates (autogate) for immigration have age restrictions; if scanning fails, manual processing is available.
