Bali News

Free Visa Facility is only for Leisure Visit

In our June newsletter, we shared the good news that Indonesian Government waived visa requirements for a total of 45 countries, giving visitors opportunity to visit the Bali visa free for a maximum of 30 days.

However, this visa free is eligible for the purpose of tourism, and that was translated as “only for travellers visiting for leisure” by the frontline officials. Also, To enjoy the privilege, visitors must enter and leave the country only from one of the five international airports or four seaports, namely the airports of Bali (Ngurah Rai International Airport), Jakarta (Soekarno Hatta International Airport), Medan (Kuala Namu International Airport), Surabaya (Juanda International Airport) and Batam (Hang Nadim International Airport); or seaports of Sekupang and Batam Centre, Batam, Sri Bintan and Tanjung Uban Riau.

Failure to comply with the procedures will result in visitors being charged with Visa on Arrival at the other airports or seaports when entering or leaving the country.


No More Departure Tax

There has been some confusion with regards to the departure tax, since around March 2015 all airlines departing from anywhere in Indonesia were required to include the airport departure tax in the price of the ticket. It means that you no longer have to pay departure tax!


New Regulations on Foreign Currency

As of July 1st 2015 we are only able to take payment in Indonesian Rupiah as opposed to US$ or any other currency. Following the implementation of this new rule hotel rooms, airline tickets or any purchases that you make in Indonesia must be paid in Rupiah.

Please be aware that any cash you prepare to settle bills upon your arrival or during your stay should be in Indonesian Rupiah. We are unable to accept US Dollar payments. Should you need to exchange your foreign currency then we have an in house moneychanger located in the lobby opposite the reception.
