Entry and Immigration Procedures in Indonesia: real experience from chats

Short answer
Travelers to Bali must have a passport valid for at least six months, an E-Visa or VOA, and proof of an onward flight. You should complete the electronic customs declaration 72 hours before arrival and consider using new USD bills for currency exchange.

From real experience

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.

When traveling to Bali with a minor (17 years old) and parents, a passport is generally sufficient.
A birth certificate with translation may not be required, but it's best to confirm with the airline. The tourist tax is often optional if not paid at the airport upon exit. It's advisable to use new USD bills for exchanges, as older notes may not be accepted. Exchanging IDR is recommended over exchanging RUB due to poor rates.

Travelers arriving in Indonesia must fill out the 'All Indonesia' electronic arrival card 72 hours before arrival.
A physical return ticket (not just a booking) is often required by immigration. Travel insurance is highly recommended even if not strictly enforced at the gate.
✓ 1 report from chats
Autogate entry in Indonesia is typically available for children aged 6 and older.
