Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

Timing

Do the three Bali arrival chores before you land

e-VOA, All Indonesia QR, and the IDR 150,000 Love Bali levy are three different official portals.

Visitor visa / e-VOA is IDR 500,000 on evisa.imigrasi.go.id (Ngurah Rai is a listed port). A proposed fee rise announced in August 2026 was not in force on the official page as of this check. Free All Indonesia card at allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id. Bali-only tourist levy IDR 150,000 at lovebali.baliprov.go.id. They do not replace each other.

Terminal

International vs Domestic — there is no T3

Two passenger buildings. The airside transfer bridge (open since 17 Aug 2026) is only for eligible airline connections.

Eligible connecting passengers with a boarding pass for the next flight can stay inside and have checked bags transferred. Everyone else still uses landside walking plus InJourney’s free 24-hour arrivals buggy. Ask the airline on the day.

Food

Eat in Kuta if you can; Flight Club is a PP restaurant, not a lounge

Airside food is typical tourist-airport. We are not inventing restaurant or water-bottle prices.

Priority Pass lists Flight Club DPS (international, Level 2 opposite Gate 2, 05:00–01:00) as an Eat voucher that burns a lounge visit for one set menu. Alcohol and à la carte are extra; the restaurant can refuse when full.

Status

Match lounge to terminal — Prayana is the old Concordia Domestic

Domestic: Blue Sky Premier (Gate 6) and Prayana (Gate 2). International: Concordia 3rd floor. No branded Plaza Premium Lounge.

Live Priority Pass / LoungeKey list is three lounges plus Flight Club Eat. Plaza Premium only resells IAS Hospitality rooms. Garuda has separate airline lounges both sides. No live DragonPass airport page was found, so none is tagged.

Live conditions

Right now at DPS

Security waits and operational status from official feeds, where the airport publishes them.

Honest verdict

Who this airport works for

Best for

South-Bali beach stays (Kuta/Seminyak/Jimbaran)

Short hop to Kuta

Watch out for

Arrivals taxi touts
Immigration/VOA queues without e-VOA
Bali tourist levy is separate from the visa
Nyepi airport closure (gazetted 9 Mar 2027)

Traveler Tips
File the three Bali arrival chores before you land. (1) Visitor visa / e-VOA at the official evisa.imigrasi.go.id portal — IDR 500,000 on the live Immigration page; Ngurah Rai is a listed port. A proposed rise to IDR 750,000 / IDR 1,000,000 was announced in August 2026 and was not on the official fee line when we checked. (2) Free All Indonesia e-arrival card at allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id. (3) Bali-only tourist levy IDR 150,000 at lovebali.baliprov.go.id. These are separate. Third-party “visa + levy” sites are not Immigration.
