Departing from Bali: Essential Steps
Here's a breakdown of what you need to do before leaving Bali:
Documentation:
Passport: Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your intended departure date.
Boarding Pass: Complete online check-in or obtain your boarding pass at the airport check-in counter.
Visa: If applicable, ensure your visa is still valid on your departure date. Overstaying your visa can result in hefty fines.
Return Ticket: While not always checked, having a return or onward ticket is often a requirement for entry into Indonesia and may be requested by airlines or immigration officials.
Customs Declaration: Fill out the online customs declaration form prior to your departure.
Airport Procedures:
Arrival Time: Arrive at Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) at least 2-3 hours before your scheduled departure time, especially during peak season, to allow ample time for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
Check-in: Proceed to your airline's check-in counter to check your luggage and obtain your boarding pass if you haven't already checked in online.
Security: Pass through security screening, ensuring you comply with baggage restrictions and prohibited items regulations.
Immigration: Present your passport and boarding pass to the immigration officer for exit stamping.
Departure Gate: Locate your departure gate and wait for boarding announcements.
Additional Considerations:
Airport Tax: As of November 2023, there is no departure tax for leaving Bali.
Currency: Exchange any remaining Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) to your preferred currency before leaving the airport, as it may be difficult to exchange it outside of Indonesia.
Transportation: Arrange transportation to the airport in advance, considering factors like traffic conditions and distance. Taxis, ride-hailing services, and private transfers are readily available.
Tips:
Check with your airline for specific requirements or restrictions.
Keep your passport and boarding pass easily accessible.
Allow ample time for airport procedures, especially during peak season.
Familiarize yourself with baggage restrictions and prohibited items regulations.
Have some Indonesian Rupiah on hand for last-minute expenses.
