Bali Visa Requirements

For all of 2021 and the beginning of 2022, when Bali opened for Tourists, it was still only accepting E-Vist Visas (B211A) that travelers had to apply for in advance.

However, Bali now has opened up its Visa On Arrival (VOA) for a large list of international guests - including Singapore - which means you don't need to do all the paperwork beforehand!

Getting your VOA in Bali

It's a very simple process to get your visa - you simply need to arrive at the airport and have the necessary documents and payment to get your visa. The VOA grants you 30 days in Bali, with an option to extend your visa for another 30 days.

As soon as you get off the flight, you will see the VOA counters to the left just before immigration. It's easy to see as you'll see the majority of people lining up for their Visa. You'll provide your passport and any other documents they ask for (we'll go into the required documents to enter Indonesia below) and payment equivalent to 500,000 Indonesian Rupiah ($35 USD).

You can pay in cash in multiple currencies or on your debit/credit card. Then, you'll take that visa to the immigration officer that will ask you some more questions and get your digital fingerprints before collecting your bag and heading to your accommodation!

*Pssst - one of our little steps team just entered Bali on June 17th, 2022, and it was a very easy process to get the VOA and make it through immigration. The process isn't so different to how it used to be before Covid.

The Steps You Need To Know To Enter Bali

The government procedures to enter Bali have become more relaxed toward the middle of 2022. As of June, 2022, the current requirements to enter Bali are:

• Have valid proof of the COVID-19 vaccination or a vaccination certificate. The full dose must be completed at least 14 days prior to departure. You can show this as a physical certificate or digital proof.
• Obtain travel insurance with minimum coverage of USD 100,000. This must cover COVID-19. Search for "Covid Insurance for Bali" in a search engine, and you'll find many different options. Download the proof of insurance or print it out to show immigration officials if they ask for it.
• Download and use the application PeduliLindungi.id as a precursor of all domestic and international travel (see below).
• Have your booking confirmation with the address that you will stay in Indonesia handy so that you can provide this information if you are asked at Immigration.
• Complete your customs declaration for Bali online for a quick and easy walk-through after you collect your bags - you will simply show a QR code (no more papers to fill out!)

The good news? You'll notice that there is no quarantine or PCR test required to enter Bali! If you are not fully vaccinated, however, there is a different procedure.

Official Government App To Stay Informed About Covid-19 In Bali: PeduliLindung

PeduliLindung is an application developed to assist various government agencies in monitoring and tracking movements to curb the spread of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19).

The app relies on community participation to share location data so that the authorities can effectively carry out contact history tracing with those suffering from COVID-19.

Users will also receive timely notifications if they are in a red zone or a crowded area.

It is a requirement to download this app before you arrive to Bali so that the government can keep track of visitors and their movements to keep everyone safe.

How Safe Is Bali To Travel Right Now?

Bali has the pandemic well under control, with over 90 percent of its residents fully vaccinated and boosted. Understandably, the government is still taking a cautious approach and keeps the micro-scale Social Restrictions (PPKM Regulations) in place, regularly updated to mitigate the spread of Covid and its variants. Mostly, this is simply wearing masks in public spaces and while using transport. You might also find that restaurants and other entertainment venues have shorter operational times.
