PASSPORTS | eVISA | CUSTOMS Ensure passports are valid for at least six months from the date of entry into Indonesia. Most Australian passport holders can obtain a 30-day tourist visa on arrival in Bali. You are able to get a visa on arrival (between $50-$70 AUD) Cash or EFT accepted, however you may also purchase prior to departure to save time at the airport. You will also be required to complete an e-customs arrival form. (This can only be completed within the last 3 days prior to leaving Australia) Links are below for both eVisa & eCustoms websites CURRENCY The currency used in Bali is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). While some establishments may accept Australian dollars, it's advisable to exchange some money upon arrival or withdraw cash from ATMs. Alternatively, you can purchase a “Wise” travel card online which can be added to your phones wallet (if you have the capability) WEATHER Bali has a tropical climate, with two main seasons: dry (April to September) and wet (October to March). Pack accordingly with lightweight clothing, sunscreen, and insect repellent. These products can be quite pricey in Bali, so it is recommended to bring with you. I highly recommend the mosquito stickers/ bands that you can buy at Chemist Warehouse! HEALTH & VACCINATIONS Check with your doctor regarding any recommended vaccinations before traveling to Bali. Mosquito-borne diseases like dengue fever are a risk, so consider using insect repellent and wearing long sleeves in the evenings. TRANSPORT While taxis are available, consider using reputable ride-hailing apps like Grab or renting a scooter for short distances. Always negotiate taxi fares before starting your journey or ensure the meter is used. Blue bird taxi’s don’t have the greatest reputation, you could also hire a local driver for the day/ for the time you are in Bali. They would be more than willing to negotiate a price with you. FOOD & WATER Bali offers a wide variety of culinary delights, from local street food to fine dining. Please don’t be scared! The food is absolutely incredible, However, be cautious of consuming tap water and uncooked foods from street vendors to avoid stomach issues. Stick to bottled or boiled water. We do not recommend meats from Take away restaurant’s such as McDonalds as this is the one place we have had a bad experience sick sickness. SAFETY Exercise caution with your belongings, especially in crowded areas and tourist spots, to prevent petty theft. Be mindful of traffic when crossing roads, as traffic rules may differ from what you're accustomed to. Hold your belongings closed to you, such as your bag, phone ETC. Use with caution if walking along a busy street. LANGUAGE While English is widely spoken in tourist areas, learning a few basic Indonesian phrases like "terima kasih" (thank you) and "tolong" (please) can enhance your experience and show respect to the locals. INSURANCE Please ensure to purchase travel insurance prior to your departure, level is up to your discretion however we highly recommend medical cover. ❤️
