Bali has removed mandatory quarantine for vaccinated tourists from more than 20 countries and reintroduced visas as it reopens after two years of COVID-19 restrictions. This took effect on March 7th 2022.
Visitors will be exempt from isolation if double-vaccinated and holding a negative PCR test and will have to show proof of a four-day hotel booking.
Visas on arrival were suspended two years ago when the pandemic first hit Indonesia but will again be available to travellers from 23 nations including Australia, the United States, Britain, Japan and France.
If this trial succeeds, Bali says it will implement a quarantine-free policy to travellers from all countries by April 1 or even earlier.
Bali governor Wayan Koster on Friday said the reforms were critical to reviving the tourism sector, which used to be the island’s largest source of income.
Almost 6.3 million foreign tourists visited the island in 2019 but numbers plummeted as Indonesia closed its borders to protect itself from the virus.
