🇮🇩 Immigration and Customs Requirements Mandatory Pre Arrival Entry Checklist

Bali Tourist Tax Payment and e-CD Customs QR Code Guide

Paying the provincial tourist tax and completing Indonesia's electronic customs declaration (e-CD) in advance speeds up airport arrival procedures in Bali. Completing both on official websites and saving the resulting QR codes ensures a smooth transition through immigration and customs checkpoints.

As of 2026-08-22

This is the Immigration and Customs Requirements item for a trip to Southeast Asia. The 3 checkpoints below can only be settled properly before you leave — put them off and you queue at an airport desk or spend the first day on them instead. Work through them once and nothing has to be reopened.

Key checkpoints

Pay the tourist tax before departure by entering passport details on the official Love Bali website or app, then save the payment confirmation QR code to your phone.
Complete the customs declaration for accompanying family members starting 3 days before arrival on the official Indonesian Customs e-CD website and capture the generated QR code.
Store image files of both QR codes for offline access on arrival day because airport Wi-Fi connections can be unstable.

What to do before departure, in order

Two rules decide the order. First, anything with a deadline — pre-registration, bookings, documents to be issued: miss the cut-off and there is no substitute. Then whatever also works locally, which costs little to postpone.

Most of the items above can only be done before you leave. After arrival, patchy connectivity and opening hours make them harder, so finish what you can while you are still at home.

What to pay attention to in Southeast Asia

Visa-free stay lengths and entry conditions differ country by country in Southeast Asia, so the region as a whole tells you nothing — check each country. A passport valid for at least six months is a frequent condition.

Tap water is not drinkable in many areas, so decide how you will get drinking water before you go.
