Now that Australia is open to International travel again I am expecting a mass exodus of Australians wanting to holiday in Bali. I will endeavour to keep this page up to date with the latest information from Bali about whether you can and whether it is safe to travel to Bali and what the local COVID rules are.
Flights from Australia to Denpasar are commencing in late March or April and Qantas, Jetstar and Virgin look as though they will start flying to Bali again.
Bali Quarantine Information
This is a guide only and you should seek further information on government websites. The rules are changing constantly so the information here may become outdated quickly.
12th Mar 2022 : Indonesian Government has raised the restriction for Australians to quarantine when they enter Bali from Australia. As long as you are fully vaccinated Australians will be able to enter Bali and test negative to COVID19.
To enter you will need to have a negative PCR test before you leave Australian and then another when they arrive in Bali. You will need to isolate in your hotel until you get a negative test which should take a few hours. You then need to have another negative PCR test on Day 3 of your arrival.
To enter you need travel insurance that covers COVID to a value of at least US$100,000. The cost of an Indonesian visa has decreased to about $47 and you will have access to the visa on arrival.
6th Feb 2022: Currently Australian travellers can go to Bali if they have had at least 1 vaccination for COVID19 at least 14 days before the travel date. You then need to have a negative PCR test within 48 hours of leaving and must have a certificate verifying this.
When you arrive in Denpasar you will then be given another PCR test which needs to be negative before being able to go to your quarantine hotel. If you are positive you will be taken to an isolation facility at your own cost or to hospital if you have bad symptoms and will be unable to leave until you test negative.
If your airport test is negative you must also quarantine at a local hotel a list of which is found below. You then need another negative PCR test before you are able to leave quarantine.
You will need to quarantine for different lengths depending on your vaccination status.
| Vaccination Status | Number of Days Quarantine |
| 3 Vaccine doses | 3 days / 2 nights |
| 2 Vaccine doses | 5 days/ 4 nights |
| 1 Vaccine dose | 7 days / 6 nights |
You also must have and show that you have at least US$30,000 international medical insurance to cover any hospital stay that you have need. Visas are not available on arrival so you must apply for and receive a visa before.
Rules include the mandatory wearing of masks in public places and you need to upload the PeduliLindungi Appsign to sign into some venues and stores.

Travel Guide for Bali
Kuta Beach
The nightlife in Kuta Beach is vibrant and fun. A variety of restaurants and bars are located throughout the area, and many offer both cocktails and mocktails. The beach itself is relatively uncrowded, so you can sit on a bench and relax for hours without worrying about missing anything. You can also buy souvenirs from the plethora of vendors lining the streets. At Kuta Beach, you can find everything from colorful sarongs to branded hats. You can even grab a bow at the end of a day’s work of art!
Kuta Beach is popular for swimming and surfing, but there are also a number of other activities to enjoy during your stay. Other beach activities include volleyball and beach soccer. If you are not a surfer, you can learn how to ride the waves at one of the many surf schools located along the shoreline. Many surf schools offer beginner lessons to both children and adults. Some of these classes guarantee that you will stand up on a learner’s board in just the first hour.
Legian Beach
Legian Beach offers great surfing. The waves at Legian are not nearly as big as those in Kuta, and are not nearly as crowded. If you’re looking to take up surfing, however, Legian is a great place to learn. The Rip Curl School of Surf is Asia’s largest surfing school, and has a global reputation. It provides lessons for all levels, from beginners to pros. Whether you’re looking to catch some rays or just relax, you’ll find a lot of fun at Legian.
Jimbaran Bay
Getting around Jimbaran Bay is easy. There is one main street that runs through a town called Jalan Uluwatu, and it leads directly to the beach and hotels. Most guests will stay in a hotel in Jimbaran, but you can also use taxi apps to get around the area. These are reliable, and the prices are very affordable. Taking a cab is a popular way to get around Jimbaran, so it is a good idea to plan your journey in advance.
The sunrise is the best time to visit Jimbaran, and the sunset is a fantastic time to see it too. After lunch, head over to the Samasta Lifestyle Village to shop for souvenirs. You can also visit the fisherman market to purchase fresh seafood. You can enjoy delicious local food while you shop for souvenirs at local markets. You can even rent a scooter and hit the waves! While you’re here, make sure to try the freshest fish and seafood around.
