UPDATE: BALI TRAVEL CHECK-LIST Rules to enter Indonesia + Everything to prepare for a smooth arrival

February 24, 2023

So, you are planning your trip to Bali or booked your tickets? Stoke levels are high! But now comes the rest... it isn’t a no brainer anymore as it was to just buy your ticket and suitcase and go. Although entry is finally possible again for foreign travelers - which is the most amazing news after 2,5 years of no international tourism for the island! - there are certain travel conditions and regulations. To make your life a little easier we made a checklist for all things you need to know, bring and do when traveling to Bali now.

Make sure to prepare well for a smooth arrival.

Important note: with the quickly changing rules and regulations for traveling to and within Indonesia - please inform with your local authorities as well. We are not responsible for any unforseen changes.

We update this Bali Travel Checklist each time we receive new updates.

Have a safe flight and have the most amazing time on the island. Make sure to share your tropical adventures with us by tagging @welikebali in your stories and posts!

1. Flight Tickets

If you arrive on Visa on Arrival make sure your return date or date that you’re flying to another country is within 60 days. 

2. Your Passport

At least valid for another 6 months.

To enter Bali you need a visa. For your vacation you need a Visa on Arrival (VOA). The VOA will cost IDR 500.000 (around 32 euros) per person (children as well). You can buy the visa when you arrive on the airport in Denpasar with cash (IDR, USD or Euro), Mastercard or Visa.

You can also apply for an eVOA before arrival with a dedicated immigration lane, eliminating much of the waiting-in-line delays. Details (including the full list of eligible countries) can be find here.

The VOA is a single entry visa and valid for 2 x 30 days. So you can stay max 60 days in total. This visa is not extendable. If you plan to stay longer than 30 days you will need an extension halfway at 30 days. You can arrange this with a local visa agent and will need to go on a specific time to the immigration office in Jimbaran for fingerprints. Note: because it's very busy at the moment at most visa agents, make sure to arrange this already a week after you arrive in Bali. 

If you plan to stay longer than 60 days, a B211A visa might be better for you. This visa you will need to apply for 10-15 days before your departure and costs around IDR 4.500.000 per person. Contact Bali Solve to arrange: WhatsApp on +62 812 37726811 (mention 'Welikebali'!). 

4. Download the Peduli Lindungi App

Before it was required to fill in the e-HAC but at the moment it's not necessary anymore. Just download the app on your phone, and they might be asking for it to show at the check-in and when arriving in Bali. 

 Fill in this form before departure and follow instructions at the customs desk.

6. Double vaccination certificate (or 1 J&J vaccination)

Bring paper based proof. Unfortunately without vaccination you currently can not enter Indonesia yet, but there are talks that this might change.

Children  under 18 can enter without proof of vaccination but must travel with a parent or guardian who meets all requirements.

Some websites state it's possible to do quarantine when not vaccinated but this is strictly only if you have a proof of medical exemption. 

Just to confirm which rules do not apply and what is not mandatory anymore;

No PCR test is needed when you arrive in Denpasar on an international flight and no quarantine booking needed. 

Officially also the insurance paper proof that COVID is covered is also not mandatory anymore when you arrive in Indonesia.

NEW: IMPORTANT NOTE

Domestic travel doesn't require a PCR test nor proof of vaccination.

Go faster through all the checks?

You can also book a special VIP fast track service for 35 USD per person. Someone will meet you when you get out of the plane and walk with you through all the checks. They will now at this time with all the regulations collect your documents via Whatsapp before you fly out to Bali, so they have everything on hand when you arrive in Bali to get you through fast and stress free. They also collect your luggage while you can chill in the lounge area.  

We always book Mrs. Malini from Bali VIP Fast Track, you can send her a Whatsapp to book your VIP arrival on +62 82147208677.

Airport Pickup

We always advice to arrange your pick-up transfer before arriving to Bali. Book a driver for pikc-up at your first stay or contact our personal driver Pak Made via whatsapp on: +62 812-8532-1860. Make sure to always share your flight details with the driver so they can track your flight in case of delays. 

Another option is to walk outside the arrival hall and take an official Airport Bluebird taxi.

Any rumors or news on releasing the 2 dose vaccinations requirement soon?

March 25, 2022

Wat als je voor je trip naar Bali, Corona hebt gehad en een herstel bewijs hebt. Is het dan nog wel mogelijk om naar Bali te komen? Kans is groot dat je met je PCR positief test.

Groet! Youri

Hi, do we still need to do PCR on day 3 of arrival? What do we do after we have done the test, do we need to submit?

March 24, 2022

Hoi Willemijn,

Misschien zie je dit nog. De pcr test betreft voor je vertrek. Anders wordt het natuurlijk een lastig verhaal. Daarna heb ik via mijn zorgverzekering een engelse verklaring gekregen dat ik gedekt ben voor kosten, dit was een standaard optie om aan te vragen ( ze hebben het vaker gehoord). Dit ga ik zelf meenemen! Hopelijk lees je het nog. Gr Sanne

March 19, 2022

Is that 2 tests 24 hours before we go? Or one test 48 hours before we go?

Thank you so much. G

March 18, 2022

Hi Ladies, ik vlieg volgende week weer lekker naar Bali, alles bijna geregeld. Ik heb 2 vragen waar ik niet helemaal uit kom, dus hopelijk kunnen jullie helpen.

7. PCR Test negative result 2×24 hour before departure → Wordt dan gekeken naar de Departure vanaf Nederland of vanaf de overstap op Singapore? 10. Travel insurance → Als Nederlanders zijn we natuurlijk goed verzekerd alleen ik zie nergens de medische kosten overzicht terug komen. Hoe moet ik dat bewijzen?

Hi. Can someone please advise if the Puri Saron Seminyak hotel is CHSE certified

The Best Bali Guide (2023)

Bali is an oasis in Indonesia’s heart, a paradise for tourists with its beautiful scenery, vibrant culture and warm hospitality. The island is a mosaic of green vegetation, ancient temples and fine beaches that seduce the soul. This is where I offer advice to all of my friends and family who are planning a trip to Bali. These are my top tips for planning your Bali trip.

When traveling to Bali, try and exchange cash into Rupiah beforehand. I suggest exchanging 500,000 Rupiah per person for the Visa on Arrival (VOA) and 1,000,000 Rupiah for the first day. This should cover transportation and meals until you find a currency exchange or an ATM.

Visa on Arrival (VOA)

For visitors from Australia, Bali provides a Visa on Arrival (VOA) that enables them to stay for up to 30 days. The VOA is a non-extendable, single-entry visa. You may need to think about alternative visa possibilities, though, if you intend to remain longer or participate in activities other than tourism. The VOA desk will be the first desk you line up for when you get to Denpasar airport.

Online Declaration

Indonesia has put in a lot of effort to improve the tourist experience with new technologies since the COVID-19 pandemic. Which is shown by the development of the Online Declaration . To make your Indonesian adventure smoother, complete the online declaration before you leave and take a screenshot of the QR code with your phone. You will need this when passing the third and final checkpoint at Denpasar airport.

Bali Driver Recommendations

Bali is a destination that is best explored at your own pace, and hiring a local driver can enhance your experience. A knowledgeable driver can take you to both popular attractions and hidden gems. An experienced driver can provide insights into Bali’s culture, traditions, and history. When hiring a driver in Bali, it’s important to choose someone with extensive local knowledge.

I highly recommend Kadek Artana as a driver and tour guide in Bali. He has extensive knowledge of Balinese culture and is a local. Unlike many other drivers who are from other parts of Indonesia. He taught me a lot about Bali during my trip. You can contact Kadek via his  website  or  Facebook page  via Messenger.

Taxi’s

The best way to get around Bali is in a legitimate Blue Bird Taxi, which are regulated by the government. You can tell the difference between real and fake taxis by looking for their registration on the rear quarter panel. However, some fake driver have these registration stickers on the outside of their car. Look for an ID inside the cab, a meter, and a fare details sticker on the door. I recommend using the Blue Bird Taxi app, as it makes ordering a taxi hassle free. Use the app first until you get familiar with Blue Bird Taxi’s before hailing a taxi off the street.

Currency Exchange in Bali

When visiting Bali, there are several options for currency exchange, including airports, hotels, banks, and authorised money changers. While convenient, airports and hotels may not offer the best exchange rates. It’s crucial to choose reputable authorised money changers to avoid scams, rather than opting for street money changers that may offer seemingly attractive rates. Authorised money changers will usually be located in an air conditioned office and ask for ID. Always count your money carefully and use a currency converter app if in doubt. ATMs are widely available in Bali and accept international credit and debit cards, but be aware of potential withdrawal fees. Inform your bank of your travel dates to avoid any issues.

Social Media

The Bali Bogans Facebook page is an online community that provides advice, and practical travel tips for those planning a trip to Bali. It has become a supportive space for travellers seeking a deeper connection to the Bali experience. Members share recommendations for hidden gems and advice on navigating the local scene. It’s important to approach the content with a sense of humour, respect, and appreciation for diverse perspectives. Bali Bogans is a community-driven guide for those planning a trip to the Indonesian paradise.

Bali Travel Guide 2023: Useful Tips for First Time Travellers

Spend less time worrying and more time enjoying bali. here's what you'll find super helpful to know before travelling to bali for the first time..

Bali reopens itself to the world, offering incredible nature views, surf-friendly sandy beaches, and delicious Indonesian Balinese cuisine once again. Is this your first time in Bali? If so, I’ve got your back with incredibly useful tips to know, ahead of your visit to the Island hotspot of Indonesia.

This comes from my own experience and observations in Bali, giving you an updated look into travelling in Bali. Read through my series of mini-guides which give a deeper look into life in Bali. For now, get excited about your upcoming trip, and stay informed with what you need to know so you can feel: more confident, independent, and most importantly, travel safely.

Nyepi Day (Hindu National Holiday)

Nyepi Day is an island-wide celebration, a day of silence, and New Year for Hinduism. The island literally goes silent and dark. While tourists are allowed a little more flexibility with minimal talking, sound, and lights in the evening, be mindful that this is important for local Balinese people and tradition, with 90% of the population as Hindus.

If your stay happens to overlap during Nyepi day, you can expect accommodation locking the premises as no one is allowed outside. Besides, there won’t be anything or anyone; the whole island feels still and empty.

If like me, you fly into Bali the night before Nyepi Day and like me, you are worried about being stranded at the airport, rest assured you’ll be fine. Immigration, baggage arrival, and customs run at limited capacity, but Ngurah Rai Airport still operates for the inbound flights coming in. I recommend having your airport transfer booked in advance to your hotel or accommodation if the service is offered, otherwise, it can be a free-for-all with arrivals scrambling to find transport. You may either be waiting a while or left with paying a huge markup even if you negotiate heavily. If you didn’t book in advance, GoJek and Grab are 100% your best bet, but you may still need to wait as drivers are scarce. Still, it wasn’t as long of a wait as I expected.1

Plan in advance and buy food, snacks, and drinks for Nyepi day – everything will be closed and you won’t be able to buy anything on the actual day. Hotels may run catering facilities at reduced capacity. In this moment, enjoy the silence, catch up on your reading list, and listen to music through your earphones. It’s not everyday the island stands still and you can spend time in peace from the busy schedule ahead.

GoJek & Grab app

Getting around Bali can be super easy when you have either of these apps downloaded (useful to have both too). Like Uber in Europe, Didi in China, or Kakao Taxi in South Korea, GoJek and Grab offers local drivers to pick you up and take you where you like.

No need to worry about language barriers, because the system connects you to any driver who accepts and handles the transaction for you. You’ll need to link it to a payment card but it’s easy, straightforward, and the safest method to use.

You can choose the type of transport you want including a motorbike/ scooter, car, large car, and premium / executive. You’ll know exactly how much the journey costs tracking the route in the app for clear conscience and safety.

Grab and GoJek are nearly identical, but if you happen to be long staying in Bali for awhile and get yourself a local Indonesian phone number, you can use the GoJek app. 90% of the time, the journey is cheaper on GoJek. During busy times, it can be hard to get a driver, and sometimes you may have more luck in say GoJek if there’s none on the Grab app and vice versa. Grab app handles the transaction better as it holds the payment and releases on a completed trip, whereas GoJek completes the payment before looking for drivers.

You can cancel a driver at any time with no cost but GoJek refunds the amount back into your payment card, while Grab releases the held payment. You can also order food and organize package delivery which I’ll cover in another mini guide.

You can download GoJek and Grab apps for iOS and Android, with the latter working in several Asian countries like Vietnam, the Philippines, and more.

Card / Contactless Payments

Bali is pretty well-connected when it comes to card payments, so in most established restaurants, shops, malls, cafes, and bars, you’ll have no problem paying with your VISA / Mastercard. In fact, many support contactless mobile payments too.

Some places have a minimum spend before you can use the card, which is usually the case at convenience stores including Alfamart, Dapur Express, Indomart, Papaya Market, and Popular Market. I rarely encountered places (if at all) that charged a % fee for card payments, but if you do, it’ll never be more than 3%.

Whether you’ve been to tropical countries or this is your first time, nature plays a big part of Bali life and within that, mosquitoes are commonplace. If you plan to venture into the jungle, nature wild, waterfalls, and even in the urban city, apply mosquito repellent gel, and wear long sleeves and full body cover to avoid getting bitten.

They are quiet in Bali, biting without any noise, until you see a swelling circle around where it bit you. They like to bite around the ankles, behind the knees, joints of the arms and anywhere else exposed if mosquitoes are in the area. Traditional Balinese huts are an amazing experience, but with that, a certain level of comfort is needed to be in nature. You can enjoy a smoother stay by buying a mosquito repellent device that plugs into your wall socket so you can sleep better at night, or even better, mosquito nets.

Mosquitos can bite, and swell the skin while possibly feeling itchy which is uncomfortable. Sudocream or soothing lotion helps the symptom, while antihistamines can remove the allergic reaction (and itch). While you cannot completely avoid this, there is a risk of catching dengue fever from Mosquitoes and it is very unpleasant.

While symptoms may at certain points feel similar to Bali Belly or the flu, Dengue Fever is pronounced if you start experiencing sharp neural pains randomly throughout your body and developing a rash under the skin. These are in the middle phase of Dengue Fever and the overall recovery process can take up from 1-4 weeks depending on the severity of the condition.

There’s a risk of liver compromise if the condition is bad in which you should go to the ER hospital and get a blood test and check for liver condition. Dengue Fever is one of those random possibilities that rarely happens, but can severely disrupt your health and stay in Bali. While this isn’t exclusive to Bali and happens in all tropical countries, take precautions and seek advice if you believe you have Dengue Fever.

Service and Tax Charge

This may or may not surprise you depending on where you live. Service and Government Tax charges are applicable to services and goods sold, so just make sure you’re either good the price may go up when you’re ready to settle the bill, or that you find out before you decide to dine at a restaurant or bar.

This goes either way as some places show prices including the tax, and some state without and indicate at the bottom of a menu. It’s an amount you have to pay as part of the bill and varies, with an average of around 20% added to the bill. Bear this in mind when you’re going out. Many Warung restaurants charge just the menu price, while others add it to the bill. It’s just how things work here and depends on the place itself.

As a rule of thumb, it’s nearly 100% that nice-look restaurants, bars, and especially hotels will charge this on top of the bill, while Warung smaller restaurants and bars may not.

Immersing into life like a Balinese is a great mindset to have when you travel, just take precautions on how you go about doing that. Local food from street vendors or Warung (family) restaurants is a great attitude for a greater feeling of Indonesian cuisine like a local, but your stomach and body may not feel too kind about it. Most likely, our stomachs aren’t as strong dealing with local food like the locals, and that includes the level of hygiene and sanitisation.

Bali Belly is a much softer phrase for food poisoning. If you’ve had food poisoning, it’s unpleasant and can disrupt your experience in Bali for up to (or more than) a week. Be wary of the quality of hygiene and sanitisation at the place you eat or drink. Food poisoning can occur from poor food handling, the use of tap water when cooking, or contamination of bacterial, viral, and parasitic organisms. The amount of exposure and cause of Bali Belly will affect the severity and will put you out of action.

Symptoms include sustained fever, headache, diarrhea, fatigue, loss of energy, appetite, sleepless nights, and lack of temperature regulation.

You can enjoy your stay in Bali without any worry of Bali Belly if you stick to established restaurants (hotels, popular, touristy), observe their handling of food or how it is stored, and buy drinks without ice unless you’re sure of the source (convenience store, chain cafes like Starbucks). It’s better to play it safe than sorry!

Currency Converter and ATM Scams

As you walk or drive around Bali, you’ll notice many currency converter signs with how much IDR you get per currency. Some rates may look too good to be true and say ‘no commission’ and that’s because… it is too good to be true. My personal opinion is to stay away from these places as you won’t get what is advertised. These offroad unofficial places may give you less than you expect and pretend to not know anything, or sleight of hand tricks so you get less after you’re happy with the rate.

Genuine places you can exchange your money are where you see a ‘PT’ denomination on their sign. This is by association and is legitimate to exchange safely, though the rates aren’t always the best. You may be better off withdrawing at an ATM, depending on your bank and card privileges for international use.

Speaking of ATMs, scams can also operate at ATM withdrawals so the best places to make sure ATMs are secure are either ATMs inside or in front of a bank, inside of big supermarkets or just outside, hospitals, and inside shopping centers. You can also feel confident if the ATM is operated by BNI, BCA, Mandiri, or Commonwealth Bank too. The maximum ATM withdrawal per transaction is up to RP 2,500,000. If you need more, just repeat a number of times.

If you have a digital bank or traditional bank that instantly notifies you of a transaction, it can give you extra peace of mind, but if you stick to these guidances, you’ll have no trouble.

Monkeys of Ubud

Ubud is famous for the Monkey forest grounds, and if you’re visiting the area, there’s a high chance you’ll come across wild monkeys. They may swing or hang out on the streets, visit your hotel balcony near the forest, or if you watch them in the Monkey Forest itself. As cute, adorable, and mesmerising as it is to watch them or see them up close, just remember they’re wild and may show tendencies that may be too close for comfort.

Appreciating from a near distance has been my motto and if you approach the monkeys that way you’ll be just fine. If you choose to get closer, do not have any type of food, drink or loose items on you or you may literally get jumped and find those said items gone.

Another is to not stare at the monkeys for too long as that’s an invitation for them to come right up to you. Ignore or look elsewhere as you keep walking and you’ll pass by without any drama. Since these monkeys are wild, they can scratch and bite even if unprovoked. You’ll want to avoid that at all costs otherwise you risk catching rabies.

You can get optional rabies vaccination at a cost from your home country, but if you don’t get too close, preventative action is the best course of action. The severity depends if your skin tissue was broken / bleeding, which you’ll want to sanitise and clean the wound as soon as possible and consult a doctor if appropriate.

Watching wild monkeys swing, play, fight, sleep or chill is a really satisfying treat, and you don’t need to get right up to appreciate them. Enjoy from a safe distance and you protect yourself and the wild monkeys from any injury or worse.

Since Bali is very welcoming for tourism, you’ll find most places offer cards that you could go without needing cash. But, it still pays to carry some with you as many ‘Warung’ restaurants – which means family-owned – don’t accept cards so you’ll have to pay with cash.

It’s also worth knowing beforehand that if you pay with more cash expecting change… you may not get exactly what you should back. That’s because with service tax and government tax, the amounts round to numbers that aren’t always easy to give back in change. So, places may round up or down the price or change given back to you. If they don’t have say a 250, 540 or 830 change in coins, don’t be surprised if they don’t give you exactly that amount.

For me, as long as it rounds to the nearest 1,000 IDR (Indonesian Rupiah), then it is fine. Doesn’t happen all the time, but happens enough that it’s worth knowing if you’re a stickler for receiving exact change. It’s no big deal, really. Really .

Respectful Offerings

You’ll notice small trays with colourful flowers and sometimes food placed along roads, pavements, houses, temples, and more while roaming around Bali. They may even have an incense burning inside the palm leaf tray too. These are known as Canag Sari and are a daily offering from the Balinese people as a sign of gratitude to their Gods, as part of Hinduism.

If you see this on the floor, make sure not to step on these as a sign of respect for the Balinese people’s offering. You will most likely find many of these dotted around the streets of Bali, considering how 90% of Balinese are Hindu.

Drinkable Water

General water still isn’t drinkable from your tap, shower, and sink. It’s best to stick to bottled water which is guaranteed safe for drinking, or water cooler machines if offered at your place of stay. Water may taste or feel ‘hard’ with metals present, and other bacteria that may not play so well inside your body system.

Only drink from these sources and if you’re staying for a while, buy large 6L or 15L bottles of water as it’s more economical and practical, without throwing away too much plastic. You run the risk of bacterial infection and Bali belly. Local Balinese and Indonesian people may be used to water here but visitors’ guts aren’t as strong and you run a higher risk of infection. You can buy a 6L bottle of water for around 15-20,000 RP, 1.5L for 5-7,000 RP, and 15L for 20-25,000 RP. The ideal situation is to ensure you have access to drinkable water at your place of stay.

Shopping Courtesy

Tourism is a bloodline for local Balinese people. Closed off during the pandemic, Bali was hit hard during those times as evidenced by many closed shops on the streets throughout. Since the island reopened, Bali is starting to find some normality and making up for lost years. Certainly, prices may not feel as cheap as they were a few years back, but it is still very affordable for visitors coming from developed countries.

When it comes to shopping, I feel there’s a certain courtesy we should give to locals. After all, their level of craft for sewing, and hand-making is excellent. Ubud market is one of many places visitors go to for clothes shopping, and you can find very cheap prices if you bargain.

Balinese sellers know it and will enter a negotiation without friction, but keep in mind these families depend on this for income. I find shopping courtesy to respect that and negotiate reasonably without being too aggressive. They naturally want to maximize how much they can get per sale, while visitors naturally want to buy as cheaply as they can. Meeting somewhere reasonable in the middle is a win-win.

It helps to convert back into my home currency and the question is, would I pay that amount? If yes, offer reasonable or buy it for said amount, if not, negotiate fairly, and if you can’t make it work. Walk away. There’s always another time or another seller that might. Now , you may find sellers willing to come down to your price as you walk away and then you can strike a deal. The overall experience of haggling in Indonesia is actually really nice compared to other countries I’ve been to.

But aggressive haggling is too much and can even be insulting and leave a bad impression / bad experience with local Balinese sellers losing out more than the few extra £, $, or home currency you may save from your disposable income. Shop with courtesy and leave a positive impression.

Scooter Rentals

Renting a scooter is super easy as they’re offered literally everywhere. You can rent daily, weekly or monthly and the price depends on the type of motorbike/ scooter you want. Scooters can range from 50,000 – 150,000, with the more expensive usually more powerful. Make sure you take pictures of the bike’s condition before riding to protect yourself from any disputes to the bike condition on your return. And if the rental requires you to leave your passport with them, leave and find another place. There are so many vendors that you can avoid a potential problem.

Riding in Bali can be quite chaotic but organised. Most inner city streets run with no lights but there is plenty of understanding and tolerance between cars and bikes on the road. During busy hours, it is common for bikes to mount pavements. You drive on the left side of the road and overtake on the left side of your way. Many will overtake on the right side too against oncoming traffic but do what you feel is comfortable for you. Always wear a helmet as it is a legal requirement and gives police a reason to stop you if you’re found out.

While it’s easy to rent a scooter, you’ll need to be sure you can drive legally in Bali and have the necessary protections. That means having an International Drivers Permit which should be done before leaving your home country, your driving license back home covers you for motorbikes and you have insurance that covers you for scooter use.

While I have not seen any drivers pulled up by the Polisi (police), it does happen and you run the risk of getting caught if not. If you don’t have the required documents, GoJek and Grab bikes are cheaper and just as satisfying to use.

Bali Travel Guide for First-Timers [Updated July 2023!]

We’ve created this updated Bali Travel Guide for First-Timers, building upon our previous blog post on “ What to Know Before Traveling to Bali for First Timers. Bali has so much to offer. It has something for everyone: breathtaking landscapes, stunning beaches, and rich cultural heritage.

As first-time visitors to Bali, having questions and uncertainties about local customs and etiquette is natural. With the latest information as of July 2023, this guide aims to provide you with all the essential information you need to ensure a smooth journey through this remarkable island.

First time in Bali? Check Here for our 5 Top Things To Do In Bali

and Click Here for our Bali Bucket List

Currency: Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). Approximately IDR 15,000 to USD 1 (as of July 2023).

Language: Bahasa Indonesia. English is widely spoken in tourist areas.

Visas Etc   (Updated with new July 2023 visa and entry requirements!) : Travelers from 92 countries can still obtain a Visa on Arrival (VOA) for a stay of up to 30 days, with an option for a one-time extension at the local immigration office in Kuta (for a fee). It’s important to note that eligibility for the VOA is based on your nationality (passport), not your country of origin. Here are some key details regarding the VOA and VEA:

• Visa on Arrival (VOA) costs IDR500,000 per person (applies to adults and children). There are two options: pay on arrival or apply and pay online from 14 days up to 48 hours before arrival.
• A passport valid for at least six months beyond the date of your visit is required.
• Vaccination certificates are not required for entry into Bali.
• Visa Exemption Arrangement (VEA) is free and only applicable to 10 specific countries, allowing a stay of up to 30 days.

For the VOA and VEA list of countries, click here .

Additionally, travelers need to fill in the e-declaration Customs form . After submitting the form, a QR code will be generated. Please remember to take a screenshot of the QR code because you will need to present it to customs officers. They will scan the QR code before allowing you to proceed.

From our recent experience, there’s no longer a physical entry card to fill out. It’s all about going through immigration and biometrics now. However, here’s the catch: we noticed a bit of chaos upon arrival. The Visa on Arrival (VOA) counters weren’t marked, and there were no signs to guide us. So, we advise asking about the VOA and getting it sorted before joining the immigration queue.

In this Bali travel guide for first timers, our pro tip is to fill in the e-declaration customs form on your phone instead of queuing up. Trust us; there’s usually a massive jam that can consume much time. We learned this the hard way during our immigration and customs journey, which took around 1.5 hours due to the long lines and confusion.

Vaccinations: No specific vaccinations are required to enter Bali, but it’s recommended to be up to date on routine vaccines. Consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

Religion: Bali is predominantly Hindu, while the rest of Indonesia is primarily Muslim. Balinese Hinduism has unique customs and traditions, heavily influencing the island’s culture.

Cultural Festivals: Nyepi, also known as the “Day of Silence,” is observed on the Saka new year according to the Balinese calendar. This sacred day is dedicated to self-reflection and spiritual introspection. The Balinese people adhere to specific restrictions from 6 am to 6 am the following day to honor the occasion.

These restrictions encompass refraining from lighting fires and keeping lights low, abstaining from work and entertainment, avoiding travel, and, for some individuals, practicing complete silence and fasting.

Best time to go: April to October

Bali has a tropical climate with two main seasons: the dry season (April to October) and the wet season (November to March). The dry season is generally considered the best time to visit, with less rainfall and lower humidity. Temperatures range between 25°C to 35°C year-round.

HEALTH, SAFETY, AND LAWS

Bali is generally a safe destination for travelers. However, petty theft and pickpocketing can occur, especially in crowded tourist areas. Keep an eye on your belongings, avoid displaying expensive items, and use hotel safes for valuable possessions.

Take basic safety precautions such as avoiding isolated or poorly lit areas at night, using reliable transportation, and being cautious with your belongings. If renting a scooter, wear a helmet, follow traffic rules, and be mindful of your surroundings.

Tap water in Bali is not safe for drinking. Stick to bottled water and avoid ice in drinks from street vendors. Be cautious with food from street stalls and choose reputable restaurants for hygienic meals.

Bali offers various culinary delights, from traditional Balinese cuisine to international dishes. The food hygiene standards are generally good in established restaurants and resorts. However, please be careful when eating street food and make sure it is freshly cooked and served hot. Grabfood is generally accessible throughout Bali.

Indonesia has strict drug laws, and possession of drugs can lead to severe penalties, including imprisonment or even the death penalty. Avoid involvement with drugs in any form.

Cash, Card, ATMs

The local currency in Bali is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). Cash is widely accepted, especially in smaller establishments and regional markets. Credit cards are accepted in hotels, upscale restaurants, and larger establishments. ATMs are widely available in tourist areas, allowing you to withdraw cash in local currency.

Tipping is not expected in Bali, but it is appreciated for exceptional service. Some upscale restaurants and hotels may include a service charge, but it’s optional in smaller establishments.

Bargaining is expected in Bali, especially in markets and smaller shops. Feel free to negotiate the price, but remember to do so respectfully and with a friendly attitude.  

TOP ATTRACTIONS – THINGS TO SEE AND DO

Some of the must-visit places we would like to highlight in our Bali travel guide for first timers:

• Ubud ( Check out our Top Instagrammable Places in Ubud! )
• Tanah Lot Temple 
• Uluwatu Temple
• Mount Batur
• Tegalalang Rice Terraces
• Temples ( Read our 10 Must-See Temples in Bali! )
• Seminyak Beach

Getting from the Airport to your Hotel

Ngurah Rai International Airport, also known as Denpasar International Airport, is the main gateway to Bali. Taxis are readily available at the airport, and it’s recommended to use official airport taxis or reputable transportation services. Negotiate the fare before getting in the cab, or consider booking a transfer in advance.

GrabCar / Taxi

This is one of the most important Bali travel guide for first timers! When it comes to using Grab in Bali, it’s to note that not all areas permit ride-sharing services. This includes airport pickups, Ubud, Canggu, and certain spots in Seminyak. So, if you’re planning a day trip via Grab, please check if the specific area allows for Grab pickups. If it doesn’t, booking a car for your day trip is better to ensure a reliable return.

While local taxis are available, bargaining can be challenging, especially during peak travel times or when it’s raining, and there’s a high influx of tourists.

Car / Scooter Rental

Renting a car or scooter is a popular option for exploring Bali independently. Ensure you have a valid driver’s license and familiarize yourself with local traffic rules. Be cautious when driving, especially on busy roads, and wear helmets if riding a scooter.

Private Drivers / Tours

Hiring a private driver or joining guided tours is convenient for exploring Bali’s attractions. You can arrange customized itineraries and have a local expert to guide you. Check out our recommended 5-day Bali itinerary !

CULTURAL ETIQUETTE AND CUSTOMS IN MALAYSIA

Respect for Balinese Customs and Traditions

Bali is deeply rooted in its Hindu traditions and customs—respect Balinese culture by dressing modestly when visiting temples or participating in religious ceremonies. Cover your shoulders and wear a sarong around your waist. Avoid pointing with your feet or touching people’s heads; it is disrespectful.

Temple Etiquette

When entering temples, remove your shoes before stepping onto the temple grounds. Follow the instructions of the temple staff and maintain a respectful demeanor. Do not climb on sacred structures or disturb offerings.

Balinese Offerings

You will often come across small offerings, called canang sari, placed on the ground or in front of shops and homes. Avoid stepping on them; if you accidentally encounter one, try not to disturb it.

Balinese Dances and Performances

Witnessing traditional Balinese dances is a must-do experience. During performances, maintain a quiet and respectful atmosphere. Avoid using flash photography, which can disrupt the dancers and affect the ambiance.

These are things to know when traveling to Bali for the first time. Remember to embrace the local culture, be mindful of your surroundings, and enjoy the beauty and hospitality of the island. Safe travels, and we hope you enjoy our Bali travel guide for first timers!

Wishing you magical experiences,

Sue + Renesh

One of the standout islands in Indonesia’s vast archipelago when it comes to tourism, Bali has become synonymous with beautifully varied landscapes, unique heritage and paradise-like beaches.

The southern province, sandwiched in between Java (home to the capital, Jakarta ) and Lombok, only began to attract larger numbers of tourists in the middle of the 20th century, but the industry has grown substantially even over the last decade.

Data from Statista shows that the number of foreign tourist arrivals rose from just under two million in 2008 to over six million in 2019, before the pandemic drastically reduced accessibility until last year.

But the so-called “Island of Gods” is already bouncing back, and with such a dizzying variety of towns, diverse geography and rich cultural history, it’s easy to see why.

Whether sunning yourself on idyllic beaches, exploring lush rice terraces and rainforest resorts or discovering the island’s religious and cultural heritage, here’s our pick of places to stay on this holiday favourite.

COMO Uma Ubud, Ubud

Rice terraces, temples and rainforest adorn the serene area of Ubud in the uplands of Bali. Known as one of the island’s cultural centres, the town itself is famous for its range of traditional markets, galleries and a vibrant arts scene. The inland surroundings are characterised by rainforest and raised rice terraces, through which visitors can hike and cycle surrounded by greenery.

The scenic views of locations like the Tegalallang rice terraces or Tegenungan waterfall are complemented several manmade attractions. Among them are the Saraswati Temple and Ubud Palace, surrounded by tall trees and giant lotus ponds.

COMO Uma Ubud is found right in the middle of one such area of rainforest, surrounded on all sides by trees, plants and wildlife. Overlooking Tjampuhan Valley, the large pool serves as a focal point for the hotel – though several room options offer private pools – with a large, Balinese-style pavilion hut housing the main reception area. With spacious, open-plan rooms featuring sleek contemporary decor, COMO Uma offers a mix of modern luxury and secluded Balinese nature.

Hotel Amenities

Health & wellbeing, the slow, canggu.

A coastal town near the southern tip of the island, Canggu is more cosmopolitan and party-focused than Ubud, with its surfing and buzzy nightlife scene a world away from the laid-back tranquility of the latter. The beaches are picture perfect – from Echo Beach to Batu Bolong – and offer surfing, swimming and relaxation in the day and several beach clubs by night. They’re also near Tanah Lot , a popular rock formation, temple and tourist attraction).

The streets are lined with trendy bars, cafes and restaurants dishing up a range of cuisines. While the coastal beauty steals the show, inland there is much of the tropical beauty of places like Ubud, with the rice paddies at Pererenan among some of the most famed on the island.

Just five minutes away from the town’s closest amenities, The Slow has several suites with their own private pools, surrounded by nature in small, exclusive complexes. The interiors are laid-back chic, with bare stone walls and concrete floors complemented by natural colours and contemporary art. With plenty of indoor and outdoor space, it’s a mini-retreat among the hustle and bustle of Canggu.

Relax Bali Dive & SPA, Tulamben

Tulamben is a small fishing village on the northeast coast of Bali. It has become one of the island’s famous diving spots due to presence of the wreck of the USAT Liberty, an American cargo ship that was sunk during the Second World War. The general area is home to dozens of coral reefs and different marine species, from turtles to reef sharks.

Diving (and related activities) are certainly the most popular thing to do on this part of the island, but the area itself is not short on natural beauty. Imposing mountains and scenic beaches are plentiful, with several of the latter covered in black stones due to previous volcanic activity from Mount Agung , the island’s most sacred mountain.

The town itself has a more calm, laid-back style than Bali’s tourist hotspots, making it a great spot for sampling a more authentic experience of Balinese culture. Relax Bali combines breathtaking coastal views with several diving courses and tour packages. The bungalows and villas are spacious and traditional in style (some have their own private pools), while the restaurant, pool and terrace areas have incredible sea views.

The Laguna, Nusa Dua

This southern enclave of Bali is its own bubble, away from the wonderful chaos of the rest of the island (despite being just 30 minutes from Denpasar airport) and home to luxe hotels, sublime beaches and a low-key nightlife. It’s a place where the VIP with an extra V come to get away from it, but the beaches are still public, so the slower pace will suit families as well as holidaymakers looking for a little more paradise than party.

The Laguna Resort & Spa , part of Marriott’s Luxury Collection, is just about to complete a year-long renovation that covered its 287 rooms, suites and villas, as well as its restaurants and other facilities. Accomodation has a slick new look inspired by Balinese tales, and there are nautical elements, too – a nod to the resorts seven swimmable lagoons. From July, there will also be the new beachfront Arwana restaurant, where cocktails and fresh seafood will keep you content during the most languorous days in the sun.

Potato Head Suites & Studios, Seminyak

Seminyak is another beach resort on the south of the island, not far from Canggu and with much of the same attraction for potential visitors. With white sands and azure waters, beaches such as Seminyak Beach, Double Six, and Petitenget stand out (and also offer great opportunities for snorkelling, diving and surfing), though Seminyak’s location means that trips to other hotspots are also easy.

Another location that comes alive after dark, Seminyak is also one of the island’s most popular nightlife spots, with an array of beach clubs, bars and restaurants. Those who enjoy a bit of shopping during their trips abroad can also explore local crafts markets and high street stores.

Potato Head Suites sits just a few steps from Batu Belig beach (and close to several others), with a swimming pool overlooking the coastline. Its restaurant serves a mix of Indonesian, Mediterranean and Italian food (with options for Asian and American-style breakfasts), and features a terrace that also capitalises on the impressive views.

Rooms are modern yet simple, with stone walls, large floor-to-ceiling windows and a mix of tiled and wooden flooring accompanied by local touches such as hammocks or thatched chairs.

Six Senses Uluwatu, Uluwatu

The Uluwatu region is located on the southwestern tip of Bali, on a coastline that is equally as famous for its rugged, towering cliffs as it is its beautiful beaches. The famous Uluwatu Temple is perched on one such limestone cliff, with spectacular sunset views over the Indian Ocean. Another popular surfing destination, Uluwatu has several pristine beaches, including Padang Padang, Dreamland and Bingin, where relaxation and sunbathing are just as easy as catching waves.

There’s an emphasis on relaxation and cultural exploration rather than nightlife and partying in this area. Aside from the Temple, visitors can see local Kecak dance performances and find locally made souvenirs in traditional arts and crafts markets.

The area is also known for its range of high-end accommodation that makes excellent use of cliffside locations. Six Senses Uluwatu is one such hotel, with a cliffside spot boasting dramatic ocean views. Its own pool sits excitingly close to the edge, while several accommodation options have excellent views from their balconies, terraces and private pools.

Its two restaurants serve an eclectic mix of Indonesian, Peruvian and Japanese cuisine, with a spa, sauna and 24-hour gym to visit between meals. If you’re still craving being at sea level, there are several beaches within a mile of the hotel.

The Samata by LifestyleRetreats, Sanur

Unlike its other southern counterparts, Sanur (on the southeast of the island) has engineered a reputation as a relaxed, calm alternative to places such as Canggu or Seminyak. Popular with families and expats, the area has a slower pace of life, with a large range of independent bars and restaurants (read: not owned by resorts), as well as places to stay. Jl Danau Tamblingan is the main street, and while you will find resorts and upmarket bars here, there’s a variety of more laid-back options.

The white sands and clear waters are also popular with families due to the lack of high waves or strong currents thanks to the coral reefs, with Sanur, Cemara and Karang among the best beaches. Many of them also have a promenade, so walking and cycling (especially at sunrise) are recommended activities. The calm waters are also perfect for a number of water sports.

The Samata is found near one such bit of Sanur coastline, with a postcard-worthy setting of lush greenery and rice fields that sit next to the ocean. Situated on the outskirts of town, the hotel has an on-site restaurant that serves international and Indonesian cuisine.

Rooms here range from suites to two-bedroom villas with a private pool. Suites are more simple, with an industrial feel to them, while villas come with contemporary, large, tiled rooms to go with a private patio and terrace – and all for a price that’s much more affordable than much of the rest of the island.

Embarking on a journey to conquer Mount Agung from Besakih Temple is not for the faint-hearted. This challenging climb requires determination and endurance. The average person will spend anywhere from 4 to 6 hours ascending to the summit, with a similar amount of time needed to descend. Followed by a couple of days lying horizontally wondering why your legs don’t work.

So, lace up your hiking boots, gather your supplies, and get ready for an extraordinary Mount Agung expedition that will test your limits and reward you with unforgettable views of Bali’s natural beauty.

10. Stand at the gates of Heaven (and strike a pose)

Welcome to the enchanting realm of Heaven’s Gate, also known as Pura Lempuyang, in Bali! Brace yourself for breathtaking vistas, but let’s spill the beans on those Instagram photos first.

We’ve all seen them on Insta, you know those jaw-dropping shots with the pool perfectly reflecting Mount Agung? Well, they’re about as real as those pouty lips in the same photo. Simply hold a mirror under your camera for the effect. Sneaky, right? You don’t even have to turn up with your own mirror, there’s a man on hand to snap the photo for you. Wonder what he puts on his CV?

To catch the clearest views of mighty Mount Agung, rise with the sun and arrive at the crack of dawn. Be an early bird and witness the beauty of the mountain in all its glory, sans the crowds and clouds.

11. Monkey business in the Monkey Forest, Ubud

“What happens in the Monkey Forest stays in the Monkey Forest” says the monkeys in the Monkey Forest. Along with you wallet, camera, takeaway latte and whatever else they. In Ubud, you’ll find an impressive number of our furry friends swinging from tree to tree. With over 700 monkeys inhabiting this lush sanctuary, there’s no shortage of playful mischief to witness and be a part of. From energetic youngsters leaping around to mature monkeys doing mature things with each other whilst crouching on your backpack. Followed by the same monkeys unzipping your bag grabbing what they can and scarpering. But you got that killer selfie whilst it was all happening right?

No-one leaves the Monkey Forest without a story to tell. You might not have your journal, scooter keys and wallet but you’ve got your story. Priorities init.

12. Carve some lines at Bali Wake Park

Bali Wake Park is the ultimate playground for watermen, water-women and adventure seekers! Whether you’re a pro or a first-time wakeboarder, this place will have you hanging ten in no time.

Dive into a world of thrilling jumps, cool tricks, and adrenaline-pumping rides as you conquer the cable park’s crystal-clear waters. With state-of-the-art facilities and friendly instructors to look after you.

Don’t worry if you’re new to wakeboarding; they’ll have you gliding across the water like a pro with their expert guidance. Just don’t make the classic rookie error and take you newbie board over the jumps. They’ve got fins on, it’s bad form.

Then, when your arms are limp rags by your sides from hanging on for dear life, take the time to chill out with a coconut and watch all the other newbs and daredevils shredding and wiping out for your entertainment.

13. Bali’s finest view in Kintamani

Coffee with a front-row seat of Bali’s most mesmerising view. Charming coffee shops like Paper Hills and Tegenugi don’t hide their secrets well. Towering in the distance is the main event. Step out to their backyards and feast your eyes upon the most magnificent panorama in Bali. Mount Batur, Batur Lake, and Mount Abang. Framed perfectly within the circular caldera, forming a picture-perfect scene that will leave you humbled.

Watch as the clouds gracefully sweep by, revealing the majestic silhouette of Mount Batur against the backdrop of the shimmering lake. It’s truly a magical place and it never gets old. Every time you visit she sweeps you off your feet.

Insider tip: The layer cake in Tegenugi is spot on. A Kintamani ritual amongst TBL’s friends.

14. Make a splash at Waterbom

Looking for some adrenaline-pumping fun in paradise? Look no further than Waterbom Bali, one of the most stunning and waterparks on the planet! Even though this waterpark is nestled in the heart of Kuta you would never know with the lush and tropical environment.

TBL’s favourites have to be the nerve shredding trap door slides. Brace yourself as the floor disappears beneath you, and you plummet down at lightning speed, screaming with a mix of fear and pure exhilaration.

The dedicated toddlers area is guaranteed smiles as well. The huge bucket that steadily fills and then empties over the main play area every few minutes never fails to cause commotion. Especially funny when an unsuspecting parent get a dousing.

For the more chilled simply spend all day lolling around the lazy river in the shade of the tropical vegetation that line the amusement. Just bliss.

15. Snorkeling in Padang Bai

Looking for an aquatic escapade that will leave you grinning from ear to ear? Look no further than snorkeling in Padang Bai, where crystal clear waters and vibrant marine life await your discovery!

The waters of Padang Bai are so clear that it feels like you’re floating in a giant aquarium. But the real fun lies beneath the surface. Strap on your snorkel gear and immerse yourself in an underwater wonderland. The visibility under the water is probably the best in Bali. But this means that you have a much better chance of spotting something impressive whilst you’re browsing the coral.

Leatherback Turtles are a regular visitor in this bay. Blue star fish, huge trigger fish and archer fish can all be spotted in these waters.

Whether you’re a seasoned snorkeler or a first-timer, Padang Bai offers something for everyone. Swim through coral gardens bursting with life, and keep an eye out for hidden nooks and crannies where curious fish like to hide. And when you need a break from exploring, simply float on the surface and soak up the warm tropical sun, drifting along with the gentle current.

Do check with the locals about the day’s tides, currents and safest place to enter without having to step on coral.

Bali in 2023 – Why You Should Still Travel Here

Bali is a gorgeous country with so much to explore, and we still think you should travel to Bali in 2023. Recently the Balinese government passed a new law prohibiting sex outside of marriage and banning unmarried couples from living together. Although this law will not come into effect for 3 years, it has left us with some uncertainty about the impact on tourism. Government officials have insisted that tourists shouldn’t be concerned about these changes and that enforcement will be more locally-focused. However, we will still need to wait and see the outcomes once the law is officially implemented.

In the meantime, there are still so many amazing things to see and do in Bali. We shouldn’t let any speculations impact our chances to experience all the cultural, natural, and culinary wonders of Bali.

Here are some of our favorite activities to do when in Bali in 2023:

Floating breakfast.

Floating breakfast has become a huge trend in Bali. This allows you to enjoy your meal  while floating in the pool and taking in incredible views. What a way to start off the day.

Who says kids should have all the fun? Try out an adult-size Bali swing and swing out over beautiful valleys with views of the rice terraces. Don’t forget to have someone snap a picture or two.

Ubud market 

The Ubud art market features hundreds of stalls with local people selling crafts, souvenirs, clothing, and food. 

Spas, spas, and more spas!

With the entire island revolving around feelings of zen, make sure to take advantage of the hundreds of spas. Enjoy a massage or other healing therapy, there are many to choose from!

Flower bath experience 

Many hotels in Bali offer flower baths, and, they are more than just aesthetically pleasing. The natural oils emitted from the flower petals offer healing properties and aid in relaxation as well. 

Couples candlelight dinner

Bali is a romantic destination, with warm weather, breathtaking sunsets, and incredible nature the island attracts many honeymooners and couples. The hotels and restaurants go above and beyond to romanticize the experience. Make sure to take the time and enjoy a couples’ candlelit dinner.

Nusa Penida

Nusa Penida is a smaller island off the coast of Bali that is worth the short boat ride. It’s known for its healthy coral reefs and picturesque cliffs along the coastline.

Luxury villas and hotels at great prices

Bali provides the opportunity for travelers to access luxury-level experiences and accommodation without the price tag. Who can complain about that?! With inflation, Bali in 2023 is looking better everyday.

Sunset sailing experience 

What can be better than experiencing a sunset in Bali?  Maybe enjoying one on the water from the tranquility of a sailboat? We think so!

Rice terraces 

Indonesia is the third biggest producer of rice in the world. The rice terraces are magical to look at and provide unobstructed views of the surrounding land. Rice is an important part of Indonesian culture and has shaped the Balinese landscape over many hundreds of years. 

Fun beach clubs 

Bali is home to tons of fun beach clubs. Some of our favorites include Potato Head Beach Club, Sundays Beach Club, Single Fin, and Karma Beach Club. 

Healthy food 

Balinese cuisine is incredibly healthy. The climate and soil enables the island to grow many types of fruits and vegetables, including many you may not have heard of. Rambutan, mangosteen, soursop, and durian are just a few. A trip to Bali in 2023 is the perfect opportunity to try them out!
