Bali is officially open to fully vaccinated Australians. But they must spend five days in a luxurious beachside quarantine hotel

Five days in a luxury resort in Nusa Dua, Sanur, Jimbaran or Ubud shut away from the outside world might sound like the ultimate getaway for some. 

It'll be standard practice for Australians booking a trip to Bali in the coming weeks or months. 

From Friday, Indonesia has opened Bali to all foreign tourists, including Australians, who have had at least two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine.

Since mid-October, only tourists from a selection of countries were allowed to fly direct to Bali, but Australia was not on the list. 

In reality, though, there are still no direct flights from Australia to Bali and no word on when they will be approved. 

The first commercial tourist flight in almost two years landed in Bali yesterday, with eight Japanese travellers arriving on a Garuda flight from Tokyo.

Garuda is planning one flight a week from Tokyo and Singapore Airlines will begin weekly flights from Singapore on February 16.

Jetstar has tentative plans to resume flights to Bali from Sydney and Melbourne on March 1, but says the dates could be brought forward if and when Indonesia gives the green light.

Qantas is scheduled to resume flights in late March and Virgin Australia still has no firm date.

But even when Australians finally land at Ngurah Rai Airport, a holiday in Bali won't be quite as simple or carefree as it was before.

New rules around holidaying in Bali

All foreign tourists will need a certificate proving they have had two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine at least two weeks before travelling, and a negative PCR test taken within 48 hours of travel .

Fully vaccinated international passengers arriving in Bali will have to spend five days at one of five designated quarantine hotels. 

All are five-star resorts or hotels in Nusa Dua, Jimbaran, Sanur or Ubud. 

They have been set up as "quarantine bubbles", where guests are not confined to their rooms but are allowed to move around freely and use facilities including swimming pools, gyms, and in-house restaurants.

Hotel employees dealing with those in quarantine will also have to stay inside the resort for the duration of the quarantine period. 

Tourists will need to return a negative PCR test on their fourth day of quarantine before leaving to explore the rest of Bali. 

Travellers will also need proof that they have travel insurance worth at least $US25,000 ($35,000) to cover the cost of any medical care or evacuation in the event they fall ill with COVID-19 while they're in Bali.

Tourist visas will no longer be available on arrival — instead, travellers will need to obtain a visa before they fly.

Once on the ground in Bali, international travellers must undergo another PCR test at Ngurah Rai airport, and wait for a negative result before they are taken to their hotel.

Anyone who tests positive will be sent to an isolation centre at their own cost, or taken to hospital if they have severe symptoms, and will not be allowed to leave until they test negative. 

Everyone on the holiday island must use a check-in app — PeduliLindungi — to visit local shops, hotels, restaurants and other sites.

Even Bali's famous Kuta Beach has a QR code for visitors to check in before they can walk onto the sand.

No visitors yet, but local businesses are eager for tourists to return

Bali officially reopened its airport to foreign travellers on October 14, but until yesterday not a single commercial flight had arrived on the island from overseas, and hotels had few if any confirmed bookings from foreign tourists. 

Before the pandemic, Australians made up the biggest number of international tourists in Bali, with about 1.23 million Aussies visiting the holiday island in 2019.

Chinese tourists were a close second, accounting for about 1.17 million visitors. 

The loss of about 6 million foreign tourists a year has had a devastating impact on Bali's economy.

As many as 70 per cent of the Balinese population earned a living from tourism, either directly or indirectly. 

Tens of thousands have lost their jobs and income. Many have been forced to return to farming or more subsistence ways of life.

The key to reopening the island to international tourism has been Bali's high vaccination rate. 

In tourist areas including the three "green zones" of Nusa Dua, Sanur and Ubud, 100 per cent of the population has had two doses of a vaccine. 

Even further north, away from these areas, the double vaccination rate is still between 72 and 90 per cent, far higher than in most other provinces of Indonesia. 

Hotel owners and tourist operators are impatient to see Australian tourists return. 

"Australians make up about 30 per cent of our whole market," said Aviadi Purnomo, who owns the Tanjung Sari hotel at Sanur. 

"We're very excited. We heard from the news that … Australians [can] travel out of Australia, which is very good."

Mr Purnomo has had numerous inquiries from Australians wanting to book hotel rooms. But any tentative bookings have so far been cancelled or postponed until Australian travellers can return.

Jetstar this week said it was waiting on further details from the Indonesian government, on specific entry and quarantine requirements, before reassessing its flight plans.

Garuda slashed its flights to Australia after the pandemic hit and the airline faces financial difficulty.

Currently, there are two flights a week from Sydney to Jakarta, but none to Bali.

Late last year, the Australian government cancelled its global "do not travel" advice, opening the door to international travel for the first time since March 2020.

The current advice for travel to Indonesia is level 2, "Exercise a high degree of caution".

Its Smartraveller website warns Australians visiting the country to be aware of risks.

"Foreign nationals have died from COVID-19 in Indonesia, including in Bali," it states.

"There's limited availability of testing and infection control facilities. 

"Critical care for Australians who become seriously ill, including in Bali, is significantly below the standard available in Australia. Medical evacuation may not be possible.

"The Australian government cannot guarantee your access to hospital and other health services in Indonesia.

"If you test positive for COVID-19 on arrival or on day 6 of quarantine, you will be transferred to a hospital for treatment at your own expense."

Dfat updates travel advice for Indonesia: how will Australian tourists be affected by laws banning sex outside marriage?

Planning a Bali holiday? Here’s what we know about the new laws and what they mean for travellers and the LGBTQI+ community

Indonesia has long had a booming tourist industry focused mainly on the island of Bali. In 2019, before the pandemic drastically cut tourist numbers, Indonesia recorded 16 million foreign arrivals. But now there are concerns over what the outlawing of sex outside marriage could mean for foreign visitors and tourists, particularly on the tourism-dependent island of Bali.

The Australian government has already updated its travel advice for Indonesia , warning tourists about the penalties for cohabitation and sex outside marriage that will come into force in the country in three years’ time.

Here is what we know so far.

What are Indonesia’s new laws banning sex outside marriage?

The laws are part of the Indonesian government’s overhaul of the criminal code, which includes a number of draconian laws that put the country’s democratic freedoms at risk. The law also prohibits couples who are not married from living together.

The important caveat to the law banning sex outside marriage and cohabitation is that charges can only be made by police if the report is lodged by the accused’s spouse, parents, or children.

The laws will also not come into force for another three years. But Veronica Koman, an Indonesian human rights lawyer who works for Amnesty International, said the fact the laws have passed means it could encourage vigilantes to conduct raids on the homes of people suspected of breaking the soon to be law.

Yet it’s unlikely the laws banning sex outside marriage and cohabitation will be enforced broadly, according to Andreas Harsono of Human Rights Watch. This is due to the fact millions of Indonesians currently live together – many with children – and without a marriage certificate.

Instead, he said the laws will be selectively enforced, and most likely in cases where a family member disproves of a relationship and wants to use the laws as a weapon.

“My son is 25 and he has a girlfriend, let’s say I disagree with the relationship so I politely ask my son to break up with her but he refuses, I could then use [the laws] to report him or her to the police,” Harsono said. “That is the most possible scenario where we’ll see the laws enforced.”

What could the laws mean for tourists?

Similar to local people, Harsono said the likely scenario where a foreign visitor would be found to have committed an offence is if a family member is disgruntled with a relationship and reports it to police.

Taufik Basari, a legislator of Indonesia’s NasDem party, has said that given the impact the laws could have on tourism , it’s important the public understands reports should only be made if the family feels “it’s really important”.

“As a parliamentarian, I will try to find more limitations for the implementation of these articles,” he said.

But even with the tempered risk, Indonesia’s tourism operators are concerned how the laws will impact the industry. Harsono said it could result in authorities asking hotels and villas for bribes to look the other way.

Gunn Wibisono, an owner of a boutique hotel in Bali , said he worries how the laws will impact his business.

“When tourists come here, they want to know it’s a safe space,” he said.

What could it mean for foreign visitors in same-sex relationships?

How the laws could affect people in same-sex relationships is a point of contention.

Same-sex marriage is not recognised in Indonesia and LGBTQI+ people have long been victimised for their sexual identity. Harsono said given same-sex marriage is not recognised and any sexual relationship between an LGBTQI+ couple is considered extramarital, the community is at high risk.

But the laws criminalising extramarital sex and cohabitation only specify only a man and a woman, not same-sex couples. Sodomy is also not outlawed in Indonesia.

This is why Dede Oetomo, an activist with Indonesian LGBTQI+ rights organisation GAYa Nusantara, said he is cautiously optimistic the laws won’t further quash the rights of LGBTQI+ people.

He also said that Bali has long had a thriving gay scene in the areas popular for tourists. The province is considered a haven among LGBTQI+ Indonesians, many of whom have fled to the province from other parts of Indonesia.

Wisobo is one of these people. He married his partner 24 years ago in the Netherlands and moved to Bali for their safety.

“I’m not concerned for the LGBTQI+ community [being prosecuted under the laws] at the moment, but I am for young heterosexual couples,” he said.

Kumpulkan dokumen dan obat-obatan Anda 

Sebelum setiap perjalanan, Anda harus selalu: 

• Periksa paspor Anda dengan baik sebelum perjalanan Anda. Paspor Australia Anda harus memiliki masa berlaku minimal 6 bulan untuk memasuki sebagian besar tujuan. 
• Jika Anda bepergian dengan paspor Australia, pastikan Anda memiliki visa yang benar. Mendapatkan visa ini bisa memakan waktu beberapa minggu. 
• Bicaralah dengan dokter Anda tentang vaksinasi dan risiko kesehatan lainnya setidaknya delapan minggu sebelum keberangkatan. 
• Periksa apakah obat-obatan Anda legal di tempat tujuan Anda dengan menghubungi kedutaan tujuan yang akan Anda kunjungi. Anda mungkin memerlukan surat dari dokter Anda. 
• Tinggalkan salinan dokumen perjalanan Anda (paspor, rencana perjalanan, tiket, visa, dan polis asuransi) kepada keluarga atau teman Anda dan bawa salinannya bersama Anda selama perjalanan. 
• Atur berbagai cara untuk mengakses uang di luar negeri – jangan hanya mengandalkan kartu kredit. Beri tahu bank Anda bahwa Anda akan melakukan perjalanan. 

Kunjungi halaman Travel Smart untuk tips lainnya . 

Dapatkan asuransi perjalanan yang tepat 

Asuransi perjalanan sangat penting untuk perjalanan Anda ke luar negeri. Ini dapat membantu melindungi Anda jika terjadi pembatalan penerbangan, pencurian barang berharga, kehilangan bagasi, dan keadaan darurat medis. 

Jika Anda tidak mampu membeli asuransi perjalanan, Anda tidak mampu bepergian! 

Biaya medis di luar negeri bisa mencapai ratusan ribu dolar. Asuransi kesehatan Anda di Australia tidak menanggung Anda di luar negeri, dan Pemerintah Australia tidak akan membayar perawatan medis atau evakuasi Anda. Jika Anda tidak berasuransi, Anda (atau keluarga Anda) akan bertanggung jawab secara pribadi untuk membayar biaya ini. 

Hal-hal yang perlu diingat ketika mendapatkan asuransi perjalanan: 

• Pastikan Anda mendapatkan polis yang tepat untuk kebutuhan Anda. Polis tersebut harus mencakup ke mana Anda berencana untuk pergi, apa yang Anda rencanakan (misalnya, menyewa sepeda motor), dan barang berharga apa pun yang Anda rencanakan untuk dibawa. 
• Jika Anda berencana untuk menggunakan asuransi perjalanan yang disediakan oleh kartu kredit Anda, mintalah konfirmasi tertulis tentang cakupan asuransi Anda sebelum Anda pergi. 
• Selalu periksa pengecualian dalam polis. Beberapa polis tidak memberikan pengembalian uang bila ada perubahan dalam lingkungan keamanan. Asuransi biasanya tidak melindungi Anda untuk tempat-tempat di mana Smartraveller menyarankan 'Jangan bepergian'. 
• Jika Anda bepergian dengan keluarga Anda, Anda mungkin bisa mendapatkan asuransi perjalanan untuk keluarga Anda dengan satu polis. 
• Dan ingat, jika kecelakaan melibatkan alkohol atau narkoba, klaim Anda mungkin tidak diterima.

Bepergian dengan anak-anak 

Seringkali ada persyaratan masuk atau keluar yang berbeda untuk anak-anak yang bepergian ke luar negeri. Persyaratan ini mungkin berbeda tergantung pada apakah anak Anda bepergian 

• dengan wali 
• dengan salah satu atau kedua orang tua. 

Seorang anak biasanya dapat meninggalkan Australia dengan paspor dan visa yang sesuai. Tidak diperlukan dokumentasi tambahan lainnya. Namun, Anda mungkin perlu memberikan dokumen tambahan tentang anak Anda untuk memasuki tujuan Anda. Periksa persyaratan masuk untuk anak-anak sebelum bepergian dengan menghubungi kedutaan tujuan yang akan Anda kunjungi. 

Baca lebih lanjut tentang bepergian dengan anak-anak . 

Tetap patuhi hukum 

Anda harus selalu mematuhi hukum negara yang Anda kunjungi. Seperti di Australia, ketidaktahuan bukanlah alasan untuk melanggar hukum. 

Warga negara ganda 

Hukum setempat dapat memperlakukan Anda secara berbeda jika Anda atau orang tua Anda berkewarganegaraan ganda di tempat tujuan Anda. Sebelum Anda pergi, penting untuk mengetahui hukum setempat karena: 

• Anda mungkin harus melakukan dinas militer. 
• Anda dapat dituntut atas suatu pelanggaran berdasarkan undang-undang negara tersebut, bahkan jika pelanggaran tersebut dilakukan di luar negara tersebut. 
• Pemerintah Australia mungkin tidak dapat memberi Anda bantuan konsuler. 

Baca lebih lanjut saran tentang bepergian sebagai warga negara ganda . 

Layanan konsuler dan hukum 

Bantuan konsuler tidak dapat mengesampingkan undang-undang setempat, bahkan jika undang-undang setempat tampak keras menurut standar Australia. Pemerintah Australia terbatas dalam hal bagaimana dan kapan kami dapat membantu jika Anda ditangkap atau dipenjara. Kami tidak dapat mengeluarkan Anda dari masalah, mengeluarkan Anda dari penjara, atau membayar tagihan legal atau denda Anda. 

Consular Services Charter (Panduan Layanan Konsuler) menguraikan apa yang dapat dan tidak dapat dilakukan oleh Pemerintah Australia untuk membantu Anda di luar negeri. 

Melakukan bisnis 

Carilah selalu nasihat hukum profesional jika Anda berencana untuk mengadakan kontrak di negara lain. Jika Anda terlibat dalam sengketa bisnis atau perdata di luar negeri, Anda mungkin dilarang meninggalkan negara tersebut sampai masalah tersebut diselesaikan. 

Periksa visa mana yang Anda perlukan jika Anda bepergian untuk bisnis dengan paspor Australia. 

Baca lebih lanjut saran tentang melakukan bisnis di luar negeri .

Jangan menggunakan, mengangkut, atau terlibat dengan narkoba di luar negeri. Jangan pernah menerima hadiah atau bagasi untuk orang lain di dalam atau di luar tujuan mana pun tanpa mengetahui apa isinya. 

Di beberapa tempat tujuan, hukuman untuk memiliki narkoba dalam jumlah kecil sekalipun dapat mengakibatkan denda yang besar, penjara, dan hukuman mati. 

Lihat saran kami terkait narkoba dan bepergian . 

Hukum Australia di luar negeri 

Beberapa undang-undang pidana Australia juga berlaku untuk warga negara Australia di luar negeri, seperti 

• pencucian uang 
• penyuapan pejabat publik asing 
• kawin paksa 
• mutilasi alat kelamin perempuan 
• wisata seks anak. 

Baca lebih lanjut tentang tetap mematuhi hukum . 

Krisis di luar negeri 

Jika terjadi bencana alam atau krisis lain di dalam atau di dekat lokasi Anda, Anda perlu mengambil langkah mendesak untuk tetap aman. 

• Ambil tindakan segera untuk tetap aman . Jika Anda sudah aman di tempat Anda berada, jangan keluar atau bepergian sampai Anda tahu bahwa ancaman telah berlalu. 
• Jika Anda terluka, cari bantuan medis . Pahami bahwa layanan darurat lokal dapat diregangkan selama krisis. Jangan mengharapkan layanan prioritas karena Anda warga Australia. 
• Beri tahu keluarga dan teman di mana dan bagaimana keadaan Anda. Secepat mungkin. Jika mereka mendengar tentang krisis dari berita, mereka pasti mengkhawatirkan keselamatan Anda. 
• Dalam suatu krisis, kami akan melakukan respons terhadap krisis itu. Hubungi kami hanya jika Anda memerlukan bantuan mendesak atau Anda memiliki kekhawatiran serius akan keluarga atau teman. 
• Kecuali kami memberi tahu Anda sebaliknya, lakukan apa yang diperintahkan oleh petugas pertama setempat . Mereka adalah otoritas di lokasi Anda. 
• Ikuti berita dan media sosial untuk mengetahui perkembangannya. Berlangganan pemutakhiran untuk saran perjalanan tujuan Anda. 

DFAT dapat membuat portal pendaftaran jika terjadi krisis. Ini memungkinkan Anda atau keluarga Anda untuk mendaftarkan lokasi dan detail kontak Anda dengan kami jika Anda berada di area yang terkena dampak. Jika kami membuka pendaftaran krisis, kami akan menerbitkan tautan di situs web kami. 

Baca saran kami tentang apa yang harus dilakukan jika terjadi krisis atau keadaan darurat di luar negeri . 

Mencari bantuan di luar negeri 

Pelancong yang  melakukan persiapan dengan baik dan berasuransi dapat menangani sebagian besar masalah mereka sendiri. Mungkin ada layanan lokal untuk Anda. Anda juga dapat memperoleh bantuan dari keluarga, agen perjalanan, bank, operator tur, pemberi kerja, atau penyedia asuransi perjalanan. 

Perusahaan asuransi perjalanan seringkali memiliki pusat panggilan 24 jam. Jika Anda jatuh sakit di luar negeri, menjadi korban kejahatan atau terlibat dalam keadaan darurat, Anda harus menghubungi perusahaan asuransi perjalanan Anda sesegera mungkin. Selalu bawa detail kontak mereka dan ingatlah untuk meminta salinan laporan polisi jika Anda melaporkan kejahatan. 

Anda dapat menemukan nomor kontak untuk layanan darurat di tempat tujuan Anda di saran perjalanan kami . 

Bagaimana Pemerintah Australia Dapat Membantu 

Apa yang dapat dilakukan pemerintah Australia untuk Anda saat di luar negeri terbatas. Consular Services Charter (Panduan Layanan Konsuler) menguraikan bantuan yang dapat dan tidak dapat kami berikan. 

Jika sesuatu terjadi pada Anda di luar negeri, pemerintah Australia mungkin hanya dapat membantu jika Anda bepergian dengan paspor Australia. 

Pemerintah Australia juga membantu warga negara Australia yang mengalami masalah serius di luar negeri. Namun, Anda diharapkan menggunakan sumber daya yang tersedia sebelum menghubungi pemerintah Australia untuk mendapatkan bantuan. Bantuan pemerintah Australia mungkin terbatas di beberapa lokasi karena situasi keamanan. 

Detail kontak untuk Kedutaan Besar Australia, Komisi Tinggi atau Konsulat di setiap tujuan tercantum dalam saran perjalanan kami . 

Australia memiliki persyaratan biosekuriti yang ketat untuk membantu meminimalkan risiko hama atau penyakit yang memasuki negara. Anda harus melaporkan makanan, bahan nabati, dan produk hewani tertentu di bandara. Sebagian besar barang yang Anda laporkan akan dikembalikan kepada Anda setelah inspeksi atau perawatan. Ada juga berbagai barang terlarang lainnya, termasuk senjata.
