Visa on Arrival - International
Visitors holding valid passports from designated countries can obtain either a 7 or 30 day non-extendable visa at any of the 15 airports and 21 seaports designated as “international gateways” by the Indonesian Immigration department. The fee for this visa, payable upon landing, is US$10 for a 7 day visa and US$25 for a 30-day visa.

Customs
Weapons, narcotics, pornography, and radio-cassette players are prohibited in Bali. Yes, it is strange that cassette players are not allowed into the island but this law is rarely enforced. Anything with Chinese characters written on it is forbidden. The same rule applies to fresh fruits, plants, animals, exposed films, and videos. Pets are strictly banned to prevent the spread of rabies. But if you insist on taking your furry friends along, an official letter is needed from your veterinarian stating that your pet is disease-free but this would not guarantee a quarantine. Feel free to contact your local Indonesian consulate/embassy for details.

You are only able to bring a maximum of one liter of alcohol, 200 cigarettes, 50 cigars or 100 grams of tobacco, and a reasonable amount of perfume into Bali. Photographic equipment, typewriters and radios are admitted, provided that they are taken out on departure. All these must be declared via a customs declaration form that must be completed before arrival. In addition, export of national treasures are frowned upon - tortoise shell, crocodile skins, and ivory are not to be taken out of Indonesia.

History of Ngurah Rai Airport
Ngurah Rai Airport started operations in 1931 by using a grass runway. The runway was upgraded during the years of 1941 to 1947 and lengthened to 1600 metres. It was named Tuban Airport as it was in Tuban Village.

In 1949 buildings and other flight facilities were added. But it wasn't until 1963 that the International Civil Aviation Organisation admitted Tuban Airport as an international airport.

In the years 1965 to 1969 the runway was further lengthened to 2700 metres. This involved major works as an area of sea was reclaimed for about 1000 metres. The finishing of the runway extension was marked by the official Opening ceremony on August 1st 1969 by president Soeharto and was renamed Ngurah Rai Airport

To accommodate the ever increasing number of passengers using the airport, the Government of Indonesia decided to increase facilities. The runway was lengthened to 3000 metres, the taxiways relocated, and the airport updated with new navigational aids and aircraft re-fuelling facilities.
