Big change for travellers going to Bali kicks in from today - here's what you need to know
- Arrivals in Bali will have a new customs process
- All Indonesia card will replace several documents
New entry rules for Aussies tourists' favourite holiday island, Bali, will kick in on Monday.
From September 1, all international arrivals at Ngurah Rai International Airport will be required to hold a new 'All Indonesia' declaration card.
The card is free to complete online through a new digital platform that replaces multiple other forms.
Those combined forms include the health (SATUSEHAT), customs (e-CD), immigration and quarantine declarations.
The All Indonesia form will require entering tourists' personal and passport details, as well as information about their travel, transport and accommodation.
Visitors must complete the form three days before arrival.
When it has been successfully processed, the applicant will receive a QR code which they can then present to Indonesian customs on arrival.
However, the new form does not waive the need for a visa.

International arrivals in Bali will be required to complete an All Indonesia declaration card

The process for customs when travelling to Bali will change from Monday

Bali's (pictured) Ngurah Rai International Airport will be the first to introduce the card, which will be rolled out to other Indonesian international airports on October 1
Tourists can apply for an e-Visa on Arrival (e-VOA) which must be done separately to the All Indonesia form.
The visa application is available on Indonesia's immigration website and, ideally, is completed no later than 48 hours before arrival.
Visa applications incur a $50 fee and requires visitors' passport information. The passport must be valid for at least six months from the arrival date.
The new entry process follows the introduction of a 150,000 IDR tourist levy (about $14 Australian) in February last year.
Authorities said the funds would be used to help protect Bali's culture and environment.
The All Indonesia declaration card will extend to all international airports in Indonesia from October 1.
