New Travel Regulations for Bali in 2026: What Tourists Need to Know
Traveling to Bali in 2026 will come with a few important updates that visitors should be aware of before boarding their flight. While Bali remains open and welcoming to tourists, Indonesian authorities are introducing new digital systems and stricter screening measures aimed at improving entry processes and supporting “quality tourism.”
The most important confirmed change is the mandatory All Indonesia digital entry system, while a new proof-of-funds screening is being prepared for broader enforcement. The Bali tourist levy, introduced in 2024, also remains in effect.
Here’s a clear, up-to-date breakdown of what’s changing — and how to prepare.
Key Takeaways
- The All Indonesia app is now mandatory for all travellers entering Bali
- Entry declarations for immigration, customs, and health are now combined into one system
- A proof-of-funds check is being prepared for 2026 and may be requested at immigration
- The Bali tourist levy (IDR 150,000) is still required
- Paying fees and completing forms before arrival helps avoid delays
- Having documents ready makes arrival smoother and stress-free
Mandatory All Indonesia App (Confirmed Requirement)
As of late 2025, Indonesia has introduced a single digital entry system called All Indonesia, which replaces the previous separate customs and health declaration forms.
This system is now mandatory for all international travellers, including tourists arriving in Bali.
What the All Indonesia system does:
- Combines Immigration, Customs, and Health declarations into one digital form
- Replaces the old Electronic Customs Declaration (ECD) website
- Issues a QR code required for entry
When to complete it:
You can fill out the form up to 3 days before arrival in Indonesia.
What you’ll need on arrival:
- A QR code generated by the system
- This code must be scanned at immigration and customs
Where to access it:
- Official website: allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id
- Available as a mobile app
(The old customs site now redirects to this system.)
Important tip:
Complete this before flying to avoid delays at the airport.
New Proof-of-Funds Screening (Preparing for 2026)
Indonesian authorities have announced plans to introduce stricter financial screening for tourists in 2026, particularly for popular destinations like Bali.
While this is not yet a blanket requirement for every traveller, immigration officers may already request financial proof on a case-by-case basis, and broader enforcement is expected.
What may be requested:
- Up to 3 months of bank statements
- Proof you can financially support your stay
- A return or onward flight ticket
Why this is being introduced:
- To reduce overstays
- To prevent illegal work by tourists
- To support sustainable and responsible tourism
Practical advice:
- Keep a digital or printed bank statement ready
- Be prepared to show your banking app if asked
- Make sure your return flight is booked
This is a preparation measure — not a reason for concern — and applies mainly to travellers staying long-term or without clear onward plans.
Bali Tourist Levy (Still Active)
The Foreign Tourist Levy, introduced in 2024, remains fully active in 2026.
Key details:
- Cost: IDR 150,000 per person (approx. USD $10)
- Applies to: All foreign tourists entering Bali
- Validity: One-time payment per entry
How to pay:
- Online via the Love Bali app or website: lovebali.baliprov.go.id
- Payment before arrival is strongly recommended
Why pay in advance:
- Avoid airport queues
- Faster entry process
- Proof of payment is immediately available
What These Changes Mean for Bali Visitors
These updates do not make Bali harder to visit — they simply mean travellers should be better prepared.
If you:
- Complete the All Indonesia form in advance
- Pay the tourist levy online
- Have basic travel documents ready
…your arrival experience should remain smooth and efficient.
For most travellers staying in hotels or private villas with return flights booked, these changes will have minimal impact beyond a bit of pre-travel preparation.
