Explore the island of the Gods with us.

The ideal time to visit Bali is during the dry season, from April to October. This period features sunny days, lower humidity, and minimal rainfall, making it perfect for outdoor activities like beach visits, temple tours, and hiking. The wet season, from November to March, brings higher humidity and heavy rains, though the island remains lush and green. Travelers who don’t mind occasional showers can still enjoy Bali during this time, with fewer crowds and lower prices.

For most nationalities, Visa on Arrival (VoA) is the easiest option, available to citizens of 90 countries. It allows a 30-day stay and costs around IDR 500,000 (approximately $35 USD). Travelers need:

• A passport valid for at least six months beyond the date of entry.
• A return or onward flight ticket.

You can also apply for the e-VoA online to avoid queues at the airport. Both options can be extended once for another 30 days at a local immigration office. For longer stays or different purposes (e.g., business, study), consider applying for other visa types, such as the B211A visa, which allows longer extensions.

Bali uses the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). It is recommended to exchange currency at authorized money changers or banks for the best rates and to avoid scams. ATMs are widely available in tourist areas and generally accept major international cards like Visa and MasterCard. Be mindful of ATM fees and always count your money after any exchange. Using a multi-currency travel card can help save on conversion fees.

The basic vaccinations recommended for travel to Bali include Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and Tetanus. For longer stays or those traveling to rural areas, vaccinations for Hepatitis B and Rabies may be advised. Mosquito-borne diseases such as Dengue Fever are a concern, so use insect repellent and sleep under mosquito nets when necessary. While Bali’s healthcare system is generally good in tourist areas, it is advisable to have comprehensive travel insurance and health coverage during your stay​.
