Bali arrival visa at Denpasar Airport: how much does it cost and how long do immigration, customs, and baggage claim usually take?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 14 days ago
TL;DR
At Denpasar Airport, the usual Visa on Arrival fee is IDR 500,000 for 30 days. Immigration, baggage claim, and customs typically take 45–90 minutes total, but during busy arrival periods it can take up to 2 hours, so a transfer with only 90 minutes of free waiting is a bit tight.

For timing at DPS, most travelers allow 45–90 minutes for the full arrival process: paying for the visa, immigration, baggage claim, and clearing customs. If several international flights land at once, the total can easily stretch to 1.5–2 hours.

If you are booking an airport transfer to Nusa Dua or elsewhere in South Bali, 90 minutes of free waiting is only usually enough on a smooth arrival. It is safer to book a driver with up to 120 minutes of waiting time or complete an e-VOA and the electronic customs declaration in advance to reduce queue time.
