Before you fly
A practical checklist to sort out before you board — most of it takes minutes.
Documents
Passport and visa/approval
Check passport validity against your visa's rules, and carry both a printed and a saved digital copy of your visa or approval.
All Indonesia arrival declaration
Complete it from 3 days before arrival at allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id — it covers immigration, customs, health and quarantine in one form. Save the QR it gives you.
Bali tourist levy
IDR 150,000 per foreign tourist, paid via lovebali.baliprov.go.id. Some categories such as KITAS/KITAP may be exempt — check the official FAQ for your case.
Onward or return ticket
If your visa requires it, keep proof of an onward or return ticket ready to show.
Accommodation details
Save your accommodation's name and address offline, in case you are asked or lose signal.
Health & money
Travel insurance
Arrange cover before you fly and keep the policy number and emergency line handy.
Medication
Bring a prescription or doctor's letter for any medication, especially controlled ones.
Digital prep
App Wallet and Offline Pack
Add screenshots, PDFs and QR codes of your documents to this app's Wallet and Offline Pack before you leave.
Install ride apps
Install Grab, Gojek and Bluebird before landing so they are ready the moment you arrive.
Roaming, eSIM or local SIM
Decide your connectivity plan before takeoff — roaming, an eSIM, or buying a local SIM on arrival.
Save key contacts
Save the VISIO WhatsApp contact and local emergency numbers before you fly.
Packing practicals
Power
Bali uses type C/F plugs at 230V. Pack a power bank in your cabin bag, not checked luggage.
Sun and mosquitoes
Bring reef-safe sun protection and mosquito repellent, plus light long sleeves and a sarong for temples.
