I haven't heard that news. Where did your friend get his information? I was still under the impression that Bali would not open before the end of this year with the possibility of the ban even being extended longer.

What will be the conditions if known?

Not true, they are just considering to open the Airport to International flights, but not yet avoid tourist visa, there Is not an official date for that.

Well my friend in Jakarta didn鈥檛 say it was official but he said he is seeing ads for a possible opening.
Can anyone tell me of a good sponsor that鈥檚 reasonable in pricing in Bali or more than one?

Most of what you hear & read is BS.聽 聽

It鈥檚 mainly coming from the mouths of tourism bodies trying to keep people in the loop so they don鈥檛 spend those 鈥減ut aside鈥� holiday聽 dollars on other options.聽 聽And that鈥檚 already happening.

Aussies won鈥檛 be going anywhere until a vaccine is successfully in place , and Govt sources have already stated 2022 as a starting point.

It鈥檒l be a long wait.聽 聽You鈥檝e got too many hurdles to jump including which vaccine candidates will get global approval,聽 and which countries will abide by that.聽 Do you think China & Russia ( big players in Asian tourism) will play along.

Travel insurance is another problem.....good luck there.

Thailand wants tourists to take Covid insurance @ $300 a month , but it鈥檚 only medical.聽 If a passenger tests + in preflight tests.....he doesn鈥檛 fly.聽 聽Kiss his money goodbye.......and most working people usually apply, book & pay for airfares, holiday bookings months in advance & have to sweat it out worrying about passing a 鈥渢est鈥� at the last minute & on arrival.聽

Most won鈥檛 bother.聽 聽

Also regular schedules will be difficult. Planes won鈥檛 fly unless near full capacity.聽 聽Flights will get 鈥渂umped鈥�......they鈥檒l be like Thai public bus system,,,,only leave when full.聽 聽Only way to be profitable.

That鈥檚 just a few issues travellers will need to consider.......but who wants to be first arrivals into a deserted ghost town.

Domestic travel is the best hope for the foreseeable future.聽

I鈥檓 already here in SE Asia,,,,but I doubt I鈥檇 bother with all the BS to come here now.聽 聽And I think the BS is here to stay.

There鈥檚 a friend of mine, she鈥檚 Russian, she said she know how to come to Bali for foreigners, with legal way.
Not sure how she can make it, maybe come trough Jakarta, I dunno for sure.
Because other Australian Friends who live in Jakarta, they just came back from Bali with her families this month.
But as far as I know the international flight to bali is not opened yet, except international flights from bali to some international destinations.

What is her way, have you asked your Russian friend?

I didn鈥檛 ask her yet, but she ever post on her Instagram story she knows how to get Bali for foreigner and if someone interesting we can ask her how.
Maybe you can contact her trough her instagram, her instagram is daianadaiana. Also maybe can ask at balibudies instagram, the owner is Aistralian who can arrange bali trip for foreigners.

There Is only one legal way acrually to come to Bali of u dont have a Kitas or kitap, and its to apply for a business Visa through an agent.
International flights to Bali are not yet allowed, so u must flight to Jakarta and then to Bali.

Any update on Bali reopening?聽 I have not heard anything.聽 Anyone ever heard of BaliLegal a business in Bali to help foreigners get visa and such for entry into Indonesia?
