Bali, the enchanting Indonesian island, is a dream destination for many travelers. With its stunning beaches, vibrant culture, and delicious food, it’s no wonder why. But before you pack your bags, you might be wondering about the current Covid-19 entry requirements, specifically about vaccinations.
The good news: As of June 9th, 2023, proof of Covid-19 vaccination is no longer required to enter Bali. This applies to both foreign travelers and Indonesian citizens.
Previously, a full course of vaccination (two doses) was mandatory for entry. Travelers also had to present a negative PCR test result. These requirements have been lifted.
Important to Remember:
- While proof of vaccination is no longer required, the Indonesian government still recommends being fully vaccinated, especially for those at higher risk of severe illness from Covid-19.
- Travel regulations can change, so it’s always a good idea to stay updated with the latest information from official Indonesian government sources close to your departure date.
