BALI UPDATE: No-quarantine & Visa on Arrival + Full list CHSE Hotels in Bali!

Bali, March 25 2022

If you've been watching our stories you know there is another update regarding traveling to Bali and the NO-quarantine + visa on arrival! Conditions are changing daily so many travelers are getting lost into all the information - we hope we can help to keep things clear. 

Here's the latest Bali update!
And find our full Bali pre-flight checklist here

No-quarantine & Visa on arrival in Bali!
For everyone arriving in Bali, quarantine is NO longer required. Other conditions are still in place: a pre-departure negative PCR test result (within 48 hours of departure) and insurance that covers Covid related expenses.

Before you fly out to Bali make sure to download the PeduliLindungi app and make an account. That's all you have to do! 

NO quarantine anymore.
Hotel quarantine is no longer required for fully vaccinated (2 doses of vaccinations or 1 J&J vaccination) international travelers arriving in Bali. It doesn't matter when you had your vaccinations, as long you've got 2 doses.

You need a valid visa (the B211 Visa or a Visa On Arrival) and a negative PCR test result prior to departure. 

Is the visa on arrival also available in Jakarta?
Visa-on-Arrival is only accessible for 60 nationalities through Bali (see full list below). As a result, you must still apply for a B211 visa in advance for the rest of Indonesia.  

Is quarantine in Jakarta still mandatory?
No! 

Is it required to book a hotel on arrival in Bali? And do we still need the PCR tests?
There is no-quarantine mandatory for visitors coming to Bali right now.

When do I still need the B211 visa?
If you want to stay longer than 60 days you need a B211A Visa, even if you could get a Visa on Arrival. The VOA is valid for 30 days and can be extended 30 more days after. After the 60 days you will need to leave Indonesia. 

And you must still apply for a B211A if your nationality is not stated on the list above.

We can recommend to apply for your B211 visa with Bali Solve (make sure to mention Welikebali!)

Hi, can we still travel to Nusa Lembongan (booked for mid-May)? Are the fast boats operating? Are changes to the CHSE list and requirements likely in the next few weeks?
Thanks for all your work with updates!

Hi, thanks for your info! If we’re planning to fly back after the 4 days, do we still need to take the PCR test on day 3? And if so, where? Thanks!

Louise

Hey! Thanks for this article!

In case the PCR come back positive, is it possible to present a covid recovery certificate along with the positive test result? I know it is highly likely for covid recovered patients to still test positive within 3 months of being infected. I can’t find any article that mentions this, so crossing my fingers you are aware!

Thanks so much for this amazing info! I have the same questions as below…maybe you can help to answer them:

I have planned a trip to Bali in May. Do you know how or where you can get the PCR tests on the third day? Do you also know if the booking requirements are just to have one confirmed (I.e would booking.com suffice)? Do you know the average wait times of the PCR results whilst we have to isolate? Appreciate these are a lot of questions just hard to find some more detail.

Thank you !!

Hey! Your info is very very helpful! I have planned a trip to Bali in mid April only for 4 nights, so a quick trip. Do you know how or where you can get the PCR tests on the third day? Do you also know if the booking requirements are just to have one confirmed (I.e would booking.com suffice)? Do you know the average wait times of the PCR results whilst we have to isolate? Appreciate these are a lot of questions just hard to find some more detail.

Thank you !!
