E-Visa: You can also opt for a eVisa. Visit this official website to get your e-visa beforehand.

Tourist Levy Fee: You should also pay a fee of approximately Rs.900 (INR).

Things to Note:

• Visa regulations and requirements change over time. Before your trip, you must always check with the Indonesian embassy or visit the official website for updated visa information.
• Booking a return flight and accommodation is mandatory before coming to Bali.
• Custom Declaration is mandatory before leaving the airport.

Currency

Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) is Bali's official currency.

(Rs.1 = 191 IDR) is the rough estimation based on the April 2024 currency exchange rate.

Though Indian currency exchange counters are available in Bali airports, tourist spots, banks and ATMs, it is difficult to exchange INR in airports.

Credit cards are widely accepted in popular tourist areas, but carrying cash in case of emergency is equally important.

Tips for INR Exchange:

• Currency exchange counters in the airport do not accept Indian Rupees. So, carry US dollars or euros, which are easily accepted at the airport.
• Remember that exchange rates and fees may apply when exchanging INR or using your card abroad. Compare exchange counters or bank rates to ensure you get the best deal.
• Small shops and street vendors in local markets may only accept cash. So, keep the cash ready with you.
