Passport Requirements to enter Bali:
Please ensure that your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your date of arrival in Indonesia, and you have at least one clear page (preferably two blank pages) in your passport for the immigration stamps / stickers.
NOTE: the blank page(s) must not be "endorsement" pages (which say "endorsement" at the top) They must be valid pages for visas
To be very very clear- one page for visas is acceptable (we have verified this with the Immigration Officers at DPS airport in Denpassar, Bali); however, we recommend at least 2 blank pages to be safe.
Indonesian Customs (to be completed on June 20th):
You can now complete your customs declaration in advance. Indonesia now supports submitting the required form on arrival via an online electronic customs declaration.

One form per family will do. Just fill in how many are in your party or 0 when you’re an individual traveler.
You’ll receive a QR Code.
Make a screenshot of it on your phone and save it.
Once you’re approaching Customs, simply hold your QR Code in front of the QR Code Reader and your customs form is registered.
Customs may x-ray your luggage or do random checks.
Visa on Arrival:
With a passport from United States of America, you are able to get a visa on arrival at the airport when arriving in Indonesia. The VOA is $35 and is valid for 30 days upon entering Indonesia and can be extended once for another 30 days. So, the total visit duration is maximum 60 days.
US citizen passport holders also have the option to apply for an e-VOA (electronic Visa On Arrival) online before flying to Indonesia. This saves time at the airport since you can skip the visa queue and head straight to the immigration counter.
Click the button below, create and account and then follow the instructions for how to apply and pay for the visa in advance.
(Note: The electronic visa on arrival application in the button above will require you to upload a current picture of yourself and a clear picture of the information page on your passport. If you choose to fill this visa out in advance, the process takes some time, but will save you time at the airport on arrival. It is NOT mandatory to apply for a visa in advance- you can wait until you arrive in Bali to fill out this information and pay upon arrival.)

COVID-19 Vaccinations:
Foreign travelers must be fully vaccinated (minimum of two COVID-19 vaccines (or one Johnson & Johnson vaccine) in order to enter the country.

No PCR or Antigen test is required at this time.
All passengers, fully vaccinated and not fully vaccinated, must download the “Satusehat” app, available in the Apple Store or Android Play, and set up their profile.

Note: The Indonesian government is currently communicating that all international travelers must download the national health app, SATUSEHAT (formerly Peduli Lindungi) prior to entering the country.

F.A.Q.
IS AIRPORT TRANSPORTATION INCLUDED?
Yes
Private round-trip airport transportation is included in Singapore and in Denpasar, Bali.

For Maria Bay Sands, we have secured your hotel for the night prior, so that when you arrive, you may have immediate access to your room.
Feel free to set your things down, freshen up or take a quick nap.
Don’t sleep too long though! You’ll want to adjust to the time change, plus, we have a private food tour arranged for you so you can taste and see the best parts of Singapore!
For the Four Seasons Resort Bali At Jimbaran Bay in Bali, the check in is officially at 3pm. Your room may be ready before that time, but there is no guarantee. If your room is not ready, you may leave your things with the front desk and they will securely hold them for you while you enjoy the resorts’ amenities.
DO I HAVE TO WEAR MY MASK THE WHOLE TIME?
At this time, No.
When you are on your own, please follow all local laws.
IS BREAKFAST INCLUDED?
Yes, breakfast is included in both your Singapore hotel as well as your Bali accommodations
Do I need a passport or visa to visit Indonesia?
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after your entry into Indonesia. Please ensure that you also have an onward or return ticket with you. You will also need to ensure that you have AT LEAST TWO full Visa pages in your passport for the visa sticker that you will need to purchase upon arrival (see visa requirements below).
You will need a tourist visa to enter Indonesia, which can be issued on arrival at Manado Airport to citizens of most nationalities.
Foreigners with Visa Exemption facilities will be granted Visit Stay Permit for 30 (thirty) days
This visa is not extendable and can not be converted into another type of stay permit.
If you opt to pay for Visa on arrival ($35 US), you will receive a 30 day visa which you may extend within Indonesia for a further 30 days.
CAN I PAY BY ZELLE?
Yes!
We started taking Zelle payments last month and we found this to be a fast and FREE way to pay!
For those who don’t know what Zelle is… it is very much like a wire transfer (but it is not a wire transfer).
Everyone’s bank is different, though, so you may want to call/go in to your local bank and ask to have the maximum amount available to transfer every day.
Example: Some banks only allow $500/day transfer. Other banks will allow $1200/day.
Always be careful when making payments through Zelle to people that you do not know. There is no protection guarantee provided and you cannot reverse the fee.
The Pros for using Zelle:
It is FREE (no processing fees)!
It is instantaneous (funds will go directly to Zone Travel- so this is the absolute fastest way to make a payment)
The Cons for using Zelle:
Every bank is different when it comes to maximum amount available to be transferred every day. So, this may mean that you need to make multiple payments to Zone Travel, multiple days in a row.
It does require an app download onto your phone, and you need to set up your account with your bank information.
CAN I PAY BY CHECK?
Yes!
If you would like to avoid the 4%processing fees, you may pay by check.
It is very important that you pay in advance of the deadlines and allow ample time for delivery.
You can make checks payable to “Zone Travel”
Please mail your checks (allowing 3-5 business days for delivery - PRIOR to deadline) to:
Zone Travel
PO Box 12052
Columbus, OH 43212
Payments received after the deadline could result in cancelation of your reservation or increased fees.
