BACK TO BALI: Everything you need to know post-COVID

in partnership with the

Bali's back, baby! But before you switch your watch to island time, make sure you're across the latest entry requirements and COVID-19 updates for the province of Indonesia.

BEFORE YOU TRAVEL

All travellers to Indonesia must be vaccinated with at least two COVID-19 vaccine doses. Your last vaccination needs to have been completed at least 14 days before you travel.

Children aged between six and 17 years, who are only partially vaccinated, may be required to complete their vaccinations by local authorities.

ON ARRIVAL

You'll need to make sure you have comprehensive health insurance to enter Indonesia, which is a requirement to get a tourist visa. Your insurance must cover you for COVID-19 treatment and medical evacuation, if required.

VISA requirements

Once you've had at least two COVID-19 vaccine doses, you can apply for a tourist visa on arrival at the airport, as well as some Indonesian seaports or land crossings, as long as you meet specific requirements.

If you want to apply for a tourist visa when you arrive in Bali, it will cost 500,000 Indonesian Rupiah (approximately $50 AUD). This is valid for a 30-day stay. To have it approved you'll need to have proof of a return or onward flight booking.

TRAVELLING WITHIN BALI

Download and access Indonesia's COVID-19 Peduli Lindungi app. You'll be asked to consent to the app periodically identifying your location and providing you with information about current conditions where you are.

And don't forget your masks — they're not required outdoors, but are still necessary indoors and on public transport.

WHEN IN BALI...

Once you've got all your medical boxes ticked, it's time to plan your itinerary. With great restaurants, urban resorts and bars, we wouldn't blame you if you wanted to look at extending your stay.
