Visitors holding valid passports from designated countries can obtain either a 7 or 30 day non-extend able visa at any of the 15 airports and 21 seaports

designated as “international gateways” by the Indonesian Immigration department. The fee for this visa, payable upon landing, is US$10 for a 7 days visa and US$25 for a 30-day visa.

Customs

Weapons, narcotics, pornography, and radio-cassette players are prohibited in Bali. Yes, it is strange that cassette players are not allowed into the island but this law is rarely enforced. Anything with Chinese characters written on it is forbidden. The same rule applies to fresh fruits, plants, animals, exposed films, and videos. Pets are strictly banned to prevent the spread of rabies. But if you insist on taking your furry friends along, an official letter is needed from your veterinarian stating that your pet is disease-free but this would not guarantee quarantine. Feel free to contact your  consulate/embassy for details.

You are only able to bring a maximum of one liter of alcohol, 200 cigarettes, 50 cigars or 100 grams of tobacco, and a reasonable amount of perfume into Bali. Photographic equipment, typewriters and radios are admitted, provided that they are taken out on departure. All these must be declared via a customs declaration form that must be completed before arrival. In addition, export of national treasures is frowned upon – tortoise shell, crocodile skins, and ivory are not to be taken out of Indonesia.
