Do not bring more than the equivalent of IDR 100,000,000 (approximately AUD 10,000) in cash into Indonesia. Amounts above this limit must be declared and may be subject to tax.

Yes, you can. International flights to Jakarta are sometimes significantly cheaper than flying directly to Bali, especially during peak seasons. Travelers with flexible time — such as backpackers — often choose this route.

After arriving in Jakarta, you can catch a domestic flight to Bali on the same day using airlines such as Citilink, Super Air Jet, Batik Air, AirAsia, Lion Air, or Garuda Indonesia. One-way fares range from USD 50 to 150.

Important: Allow at least 4 hours between your international arrival in Jakarta and your connecting flight to Bali. You’ll need to clear immigration, collect your luggage, and transfer to the domestic terminal.
