JohnGc Posted July 21 #1 Share Posted July 21 When cruising to Lembar Indonesia I notice the custom declaration on line has to be filled in three days before arrival, this being the case I will not be having the internet package so it could be a problem as we will be at sea. Wondered what you guys do in this situation ? I gather R.C.C do not take care of it. Also is there any confirmation that if going to Lombock / Lembar you do not need the Tourist tax , only if going to Bali. Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted July 21 #2 Share Posted July 21 If travelling on Princess or P&O , the cruiseline has normally provided both hard copy forms or a internet link ( with wifi) to enable pax to fill out the forms for Indonesia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnGc Posted July 21 Author #3 Share Posted July 21 Thanks Mic, I am hoping R.C.C can produce a hard copy form on the cruise. Cant seem to get a straight answer from R.C.C. Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did the Indonesian Visa on line 2 weeks before going. For Bali and Lombok, we had to fill out arrival and departure on line. I did not pay for wifi but husband and I had a free day each of wifi being Diamond. However, as it was all new to me, I went to the Helpdesk. I was helped with the app and did the arrival and departure declaration. I feel for Lombok we were charged an arrival 'tax' that RCCL charged us for (may be about $13 US? each) In Bali, I don't think we were charged extra having done the visa on line and paid for it. Sorry, I hate all this stuff on line etc. especially when I am on a holiday, but RCCL staff were very helpful and IT help was available to passengers most mornings. Hard copies are a thing of the past. If we survived it, anyone can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkmw Posted July 21 #6 Share Posted July 21 The Bali visa is $50 AUD and the levy is $15 and are the ships charging those prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruiser3775 Posted July 21 #7 Share Posted July 21 The extra tax (as distinct from the eVisa charge) is only for Bali. They use it to improve infrastructure, I am told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have got all I need to do the eVoa when the time comes. I did read that the tourist tax only applies to Bali and not Lombock so now trying to find out if that is true.

It is called the Bali tourist levy that had me querying if it applied to Lombock. I also notice that you need the levy for about four islands that are part of Bali . Now just to sort out the customs declaration and I will be all sorted for the cruise. Still got my fingers crossed that the eVoa will be scrapped by late October 🤞 Cheers John Edited July 21 by JohnGc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
