Jetstar Bali visa rules: what travellers need before flying

Jetstar passengers heading to Bali must check Indonesia’s entry rules before departure: most travellers need a visa, an arrival card is required for all international arrivals from 1 September 2025, and Bali charges a tourist levy of Rp150,000. Jetstar’s guidance also says passport validity, onward travel and visa length depend on the type of entry you use.

What visa does Jetstar say travellers need for Bali?

Jetstar says a visa is required for most travellers visiting or transiting through Bali, and it gives two main options: apply online for an e-Visa before arrival, or apply for a Visa on Arrival at the airport. For holiday travel, Jetstar’s Singapore page says the Visa on Arrival is valid for 30 days and a single-entry visa is valid for 60 days.

Jetstar’s Bali pages also say that if you plan to stay longer than 30 days, you need to apply for a visa online before travel.

What documents are checked at the airport?

Jetstar says travellers should have a passport in good condition with at least 6 months’ validity from the planned departure date from Indonesia, plus proof of a return booking to Australia or onward travel to another country within the visa validity period. Jetstar also says all international passengers, including children and infants, must show a passport at check-in.

Jetstar’s travel alert says the new All Indonesia Arrival Card is required for all international travellers arriving in Bali from 1 September 2025, can be completed online within 72 hours before flying, and produces a QR code to save or print.

How much is the Bali tourist levy?

Jetstar’s Indonesia page says all tourists visiting Bali must pay a tourist fee of Rp150,000. Jetstar’s travel-alert pages describe that as a required Bali tourist levy and say it is part of the pre-travel entry process.

The levy amount is stated in Indonesian rupiah, and Jetstar does not say in the pages reviewed that it replaces any visa requirement.

How does Jetstar’s advice compare with Indonesia’s official visa site?

Indonesia’s official e-visa site says a visitor visa application requires a passport biodata page with at least 6 months’ validity from the date of arrival, a passport photo, an email address and a valid Mastercard, Visa or JCB credit card. Australian government travel advice says tourism visitors can apply for an e-VOA online at least 48 hours before travel through Indonesia’s immigration e-Visa website or the All Indonesia website after the arrival card is submitted.

That means Jetstar’s Bali guidance broadly matches the official government process: check the visa type, complete the arrival card, and make sure passport and onward-travel documents are ready before departure.

What should Jetstar Bali travellers do before flying?

• Check whether you will use a Visa on Arrival or an e-Visa before departure.
• Make sure your passport has at least 6 months’ validity and is undamaged.
• Prepare proof of onward or return travel.
• Complete the All Indonesia Arrival Card within 72 hours before flying.
• Budget for the Rp150,000 Bali tourist levy.
