Is Bali considering on arranging or planning to do a full total lockdown in the future?
With the things going in and how the Indonesian government reacts, I highly doubt there will be total lockdown in the future. Just to let you know, Bali already reopened some beaches and allowing modern market & bussiness to open from 8am to 11pm with full covid-19 protocols. Really hope things going well soon. – Joe.
Does anyone know a reliable source (website etc…) for the “do’s and don’ts” to enter Bali during the Covid 19 period.
My wife has a ticket from Amsterdam to Denpasar, she has a spouse Kitas. We know she needs a negative CPR result, a filled in QR document, but there are rumours she needs to go in external quarantaine.
It would be great if you could help. Thanks Bert
Hi, first you need to sign up here
https://cekdiri.baliprov.go.id/registration_wna
and if you have KITAS and have flight to Bali available, after entering, you will have to do self isolation/quarantine.
you will need someone/parties that can guarantee travel actors.
please note that the expiration date of PCR/SWAB test only 7 days. So you will have to fly within those 7 days.
Bert,
We just came back from Holland 10 days ago. You can find all the information you need on the site of Garuda.
The government of Bali can ask you to go in quarantine. But if you got the QR code of Jakarta and Bali there will be no problem. To be realy sure we got a letter of the Kapaladesa desa in which he allows use to travel on Bali and go in quarantine in our own vila.
By the way to travel to Bali from Amsterdam is by flying to Jakarta and domestic to Denpasar.
Why do you let the wealthy brazilians and australian surfers stay in bali with covid. They cry that they can’t surf while indonesians aren’t allowed to. In all the years i have been in bali i have never seen such cry babies. The phoney brazilians partying at the bukit and on the beaches while others can’t go there
Since every day more than 50 busses full with tourists from Java go from Java to Bali this disease increases on Bali. The main problem are not the people who are flying, but the people who travel by bus or boat to Bali.
My flight on 28 Oct from Solo to Denpasar (domestic) is cancelled.
Does the local government limit the number of people coming to Bali? Till when? Any dispensation for people with Bali ID?
Thanks
I totally agree with you. This government is too piss weak to do anything about the partying that goes on.Going through denpasar yesterday I couldn’t eleive what I saw….it’s as if it was a normal working day there. All the time they are allowing certain venues to open….this virus is never going to go away……and I wonder what happened to the new restrictions the Balinese Govt were to announce on October 5?…as usual NATO no action talk only.
Hello! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering if you knew

platform as yours and I’m having trouble finding one? Thanks a lot!
Hi – I’ve just read your post on February updates. Is it now the case that international tourists are allowed to come to bali (as of February 9th)? I am from UK and want to come to Bali and be at the beach for 3-4 months.

All the best,
Alva.

Thank you for this information. We have been waiting so long for tourism to come back and just waiting. It is hard to keep up with all the new information and not knowing what is real or fake.
