Have you been thinking of an indulgent holiday in Bali? International travel is slowly picking up, and most people are ready to pick up on world travel. And, Bali is a beautiful destination. But, visa application processes have changed. Here is a breakdown of new visa requirements.
For the moment, the government has put the Visa on Arrival option on hold. You need to apply for B211A, which requires a travel agency to sponsor you. And, you need to have your vaccination card with proof that you are fully vaccinated. But, the visa application process is straightforward. All you have to do is select the e-visa option applicable to you and fill the online form. However, since you would need a sponsor, it is better to go through a travel agency. You can ask the travel agent to sort out your visa and look for some of the best luxury resorts in Bali. Check if resorts such as Nirjhara offer attractive packages or deals.
If you are planning a holiday in Bali, apply for the B211A tourist visa category. This is a single entry e-visa, valid for 60 days. But, it can be extended up to 4 times, allowing you to stay in Bali for 180 days in total.
What are the documents you need to apply for a tourist visa for Bali?
You need to fill in your personal contact details, and attach scans of the following documents.
Passport cover
Main passport page with the photo
Additional scan of the passport page with the signature on it (if necessary)
Vaccination certificate in English
Proof of medical insurance covering COVID related expenses (up to 30,000 USD)
And, ensure that your passport is valid up to at least 8 months from the day of entry to Indonesia.
With COVID – 19 still spreading across the world, you will have to adhere to more scrutiny and go through a few obstacles before being allowed to travel in Indonesia. First of all, you need to do a PCR test before boarding the plane bound towards Indonesia. Depending on the country you are travelling from, this is going to be an additional expense. You also need to book a Quarantine and Repatriation Packages in Indonesia. This package costs between USD 100 and 200 per night. The cost depends on the hotel category. Most packages include 3 meals a day and airport transfer to hotel.
If you are travelling with a companion, you can share a room, and the cost of the package would be cheaper with double occupancy. If you first land in Jakarta, your domestic flight from Jakarta to Bali would cost between 50-100 USD.
You can fly directly to Bali or travel through Jakarta. We’ve listed down the documents that you need to present at immigration.
PCR test result – You need to present test results that are not older than 48 hours before departure. The PCR test must be attached with a QR code to facilitate authentication of the document.
