Maritime paperwork in Indonesia can be daunting – let Bali Yacht Services handle it for you
We have a good working relationship with the local governing departments such as Customs, Immigration, and Harbour Master, ensuring all legal procedures are adhered to. We also have good contacts and the required permits to organise cruises to most Asian countries.
Vessel Clearance
For crew wishing to stay in Indonesia longer than 30 days we recommend all crew acquire a 60 day Tourist Visa from the nearest Indonesian Consulate prior to arrival (this visa can be then extended for an additional 30 days in the country). This visa is not essential, but it will save you the cost of renewing visas every 30 days. The captain will be cleared in as crew; they will be issued a 30 day yacht visa on arrival and will then require organising a crew bond which is outlined below to leave the country after 30 days. On return the tourist visa will be enacted.
For this service to run smoothly we will need the following:
- original vessel registration documents;
- sclearance papers from last port;
- all crew and passenger passports;
- letter of authority from owner to captain to act as captain for your boat;
- If the vessel ownership is under a company name, please contact us to receive templates of the correct paperwork required.
* A copy of all the listed paperwork is required prior to the yacht arriving in Bali, you can fill out our online application forms here.
Procedure
Once you have arrived in Bali waters we will meet your vessel at any location and collect all necessary documentation. We will then proceed to check you and your vessel into Indonesia. This procedure normally takes 3 to 5 hours to receive the correct documentation and stamps.
Your vessel will then be entitled to stay in Indonesian waters for 6 months or for 1 year if your vessel is berthed in a marina. Once this period is close to expiring we can then have the customs declaration extended a further 3 times to a maximum of 2 years. This is outlined in the vessel extension section below.

To clear the vessel in without the captain present, additional charges payable to the authorities are required and these are dependant on the yacht size.
