Visa Information
Most international tourists visiting Bali, including Indians, can obtain a 30-day Visa on Arrival (VoA) (code B1) for tourism, which is extendable once for another 30 days, can be obtained at the airport or online (e-VoA) beforehand, and requires a passport valid for at least six months.
Health and Safety Tips
Bali is generally a safe, tropical destination, but requires precautions for high humidity, scooter safety, and food/water safety (“Bali Belly”).Key health measures include drinking only bottled/filtered water and using mosquito repellent. Safety involves using reputable transport, wearing helmets, and avoiding scams or dangerous currents
Currency and Tipping
Bali uses the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR, Rp) as its currency, with notes up to Rp 100,000, often requiring cash for smaller vendors and transport. While tipping is not mandatory or traditionally expected, it is highly appreciated for good service, particularly for drivers, tour guides, and in non-service-charge restaurants.
