Arriving at Bali Airport

After landing, international passengers go through immigration (buy or show your visa on arrival or e-VOA), collect luggage and clear customs before reaching the arrivals hall. Queues are longest when several long-haul flights land in the evening, so allow an hour at busy times. Since 2024 foreign visitors also pay Bali's tourist levy, which can be paid online through the official Love Bali website or app before you fly.

ATMs and money changers are in the arrivals hall; withdraw some rupiah for small purchases and tips. SIM cards and eSIMs are sold at counters past customs, but they are usually cheaper in town.

Traffic and Travel Times

The airport sits on a narrow isthmus, so every road south and north funnels through a few junctions. Drive times above are for light traffic: in the late afternoon or during ceremonies, Canggu and Ubud can easily take twice as long. The Bali Mandara toll road over the bay is the fastest route to Nusa Dua and Sanur.

Departure Tips

Arrive at least 2.5 hours before international flights; check-in queues and security can be slow.
Bali's airport closes for 24 hours on Nyepi, the Balinese Day of Silence in March. Check the date before booking flights.
Domestic flights to Lombok, Labuan Bajo and Java leave from the separate domestic terminal, a short walk away.
