No, there is no separate "Bali Visa." Bali is a province of Indonesia, so you need an Indonesian visa to visit. The B1 (e-VOA) and C1 visas available on our site are valid for entry into Bali and other parts of Indonesia.
The Bali Provincial Government requires all foreign tourists to pay a one-time tourist tax of IDR 150,000 (approx. USD 10) per person. This tax is used for the preservation of Bali's culture and environment. It can be paid online before or upon arrival through the official "Love Bali" system.
The best time to visit Bali is during the dry season, which runs from April to October. This period offers sunny days and less humidity, making it ideal for beach activities, trekking, and exploring the island.
The official currency is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). While major hotels and restaurants may accept credit cards, it's highly recommended to carry some cash for smaller shops, local markets (warungs), and transportation. Money changers are widely available, but always use authorized ones.
Bali is generally a very safe destination for tourists. However, like anywhere in the world, it's important to take standard precautions. Be mindful of your belongings, be cautious of scooter rental scams, and only drink bottled or filtered water.
Popular options include renting a scooter (international driving permit required), using ride-hailing apps like Gojek or Grab for cars and bikes, hiring a private car with a driver for day trips, or using local taxis. For longer distances between towns, shuttle buses are also available.
Respectful attire is required. Both men and women should cover their shoulders and knees. Most major temples provide a sarong and sash for rent at the entrance if you are not appropriately dressed. It is a sign of respect for the local culture and religious sites.
While not always mandatory for entry, travel insurance is highly recommended. It provides coverage for medical emergencies, trip cancellations, lost luggage, and other unforeseen incidents, offering peace of mind during your travels.
It is not safe to drink tap water in Bali. Always drink bottled or properly filtered water. Most hotels and villas provide complimentary bottled water daily. Also, be cautious with ice in drinks at smaller, less reputable establishments.
Bali uses the Type C and Type F power plugs, which are the standard two-pin European-style plugs. The standard voltage is 230V with a frequency of 50Hz. It's a good idea to bring a universal travel adapter to ensure your devices can be charged.
