Bali eases Covid entry requirements for fully vaccinated as travel rules change

Bali have updated their entry requirements and is now open to tourists.

This comes after the country enforced coronavirus strict restrictions over the last two years, making it difficult for the popular tourism industry to pick up.

Now Bali Government has said that it is 'time for recovery' and is opening up to a selected amount of countries.

However there are still rules to follow even if you're fully vaccinated.

This comes as Bali will grant access to 23 countries including the UK for the first time in two years without the need to isolate for 10 days.

Up until now, any visitor, regardless of vaccine status had to quarantine for 10 days in hotel, take a pre-departure test, another Covid test on day three and have a visa confirmed in advance.

But with this new update, as long as they are fully vaccinated, travellers can acquire a visa on arrival if they show proof of a negative PCR test, and can provide proof of a paid-for hotel booking for at least four days.

Travellers must also take a PCR test on their third day and have proof of health insurance which includes Covid-19 cover.

Bali governor I Wayan Koster said on Friday: “We have to offer competitive travelling rules for overseas tourists as other countries have opened their tourism sector earlier.

“Bali’s tourism has been stuck for two years and it is the time for recovery.”
