While the Indonesian borders are currently closed for short-term visitors, Bali is still an attractive travel destination for locals and domestic tourists. If you are planning to travel to and from Bali, check out Bali Covid-19 travel requirements. We will also share with you about the new single entry e-Visa B211b.

1. Bali Covid-19 travel requirements for domestic travel

1. 1. A Negative Covid-19 test
      Whether you are entering Bali via the air, land or sea route, you need a negative Covid test. There are 3 types of tests that are accepted:
      • RT-PCR test: the test needs to be conducted within 48 hours before departure.
      • The rapid antigen test
      • The GeNose C19 test: can be done at the port of entry

      Children under the age of 5 are not required to do the test.

      The GeNose test is available at 4 airports:

      • Sultan Mahmud Baddarudin II Airport (Palembang)
      • Husein Sastranegara Airport (Bandung)
      • Yogyakarta International Airport (Yogyakarta)
      • Surabaya Juanda International Airport (Surabaya)
   2. The electronic Health Access Card (e-HAC)
      If you are travelling by air or by sea, filling in this form is a must.
      On the other hand, if you are using land transportation (both private and public), it is advisable to fill in the form.
   3. If the test result is negative, but you are showing symptoms
      In this case, you should not continue the journey and are required to do a RT-PCR diagnostic test.
      While waiting for the result, you are required to self-isolate.

These requirements are effective from April 1, 2021

2. Bali Covid-19 Visa requirements for international travels

At the moment, the visa on arrival is still not available, but there is a type of visa that allows foreigners to visit Bali: the Single Entry e-Visa B211b.
