Bali visa for Australian dental tourists

Arrival walkthrough, step by step

From landing to exiting the terminal — typically 45 to 70 minutes total.

1. 1
   Land at Denpasar Ngurah Rai (DPS) International Terminal

   Off the plane

   All Australian flights arrive at the international terminal. Disembark and follow the general arrivals flow — signs are in English throughout.

2. 2
   Follow Visa on Arrival signs — before immigration

   ~5 min

   VoA counters are positioned before the main immigration hall. You will see the "Visa on Arrival" signs immediately in the arrivals corridor. Do not proceed to immigration before paying — you must have the VoA stamp first.

3. 3
   Join the VoA queue and pay at the counter

   10–25 min

   Queues vary — typically 10 to 25 minutes during peak arrival windows (late evening and early morning when multiple Qantas/Jetstar/Garuda flights stack up). Bring IDR 500,000 in cash or USD $35, or use card if the counter accepts it. You receive a VoA stamp or sticker.

4. 4
   Proceed to immigration with your stamped passport

   5–15 min

   Present your passport at the immigration counter. Have your return flight confirmation and accommodation booking visible on your phone or printed. The officer stamps your 30-day entry. Typical immigration wait is 5–15 minutes.

5. 5
   Collect checked baggage

   10–20 min

   Baggage carousels are clearly labelled by flight. Typical wait is 15–20 minutes after clearing immigration.

6. 6
   Exit customs and clear the terminal

   5–10 min

   Declare any medication on your customs card (antibiotics, pain relief) — do not skip this. Open the Grab app and request a ride from outside the terminal to your hotel. Ignore all touts offering transport in the arrivals hall.

Is 30 days enough for dental treatment?

For the vast majority of patients, yes. Most dental tourism trips are structured around two shorter visits rather than one extended stay, which keeps each trip comfortably within the 30-day window.

Things to know before you fly

• 📘
  Passport validity

  Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned arrival date. A passport expiring in less than 6 months will be refused entry. Check your expiry before booking — Australian passports can be renewed at Australia Post.

• 📄
  Two blank pages required

  Indonesian immigration requires at least 2 blank pages in your passport for entry stamps. If your passport is nearly full, renew before travel.

• 🛬
  Arrival card on the plane

  Cabin crew distribute Indonesian arrival cards (disembarkation cards) on the flight. Fill it out before landing — it asks for your accommodation address, purpose of visit (tourism), and a contact number. Keep it until you hand it to immigration.

• 👶
  Children need their own VoA

  Each person requires their own Visa on Arrival, including children. A child on an Australian passport pays the same IDR 500,000. Children under the age of consent cannot sign their own forms — a parent signs on their behalf.

• 🔁
  VoA is single entry only

  Once you leave Indonesia, your VoA is void. If you exit to Singapore or Lombok (domestic exit does not apply) and re-enter, you need a new VoA. This rarely affects dental tourists — treatment trips do not usually involve leaving and re-entering.
