Dear Guests and those who want to become one :-)

There is still positive news from Indonesia, because now other countries, including Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, will be able to enter Bali again without quarantine and with a visa on arrival for 500,000 rupees (approx. €30 ) possible. However, full vaccination is a prerequisite.

ENTRY AND EXIT

A visa on arrival is required for foreign citizens staying up to 30 days! You get it upon arrival at the airport for a payment of 500,000 rupees, which is about 35 USD. All you need is a passport that is valid for at least 6 months and will be stamped upon entry. No exit has to be paid, and no more security fee. After the immigration control, there is the arrival hall with the luggage or the luggage carousel, some exchange offices (attention!!: bad exchange rates). Customs control usually checks hand luggage. Importing weapons, pornographic literature, pictures, drugs, etc. will be severely punished. After customs control, the hotel boys and a few drivers are already waiting for arriving tourists. ATMs (cash dispensers) of various banks are also located here.

VACCINATIONS

Tetanus, typhoid, diphtheria, hepatitis A, polio (poliomyelitis). Malaria: A low risk in the hinterland of Lombok, Java, and Sumbawa. The tourist centers are malaria-free. Best protect me through clothing, mosquito nets, etc. before the pests and wetted free skin with a repellent, ie an agent which demonstrably prevents the mosquitoes. These agents are here available cheaply in Bali in every supermarket. So no fear of tropical diseases and dangerous animals as the mosquitoes do not exist!

The EURO is actually probably the most popular currency, followed by the US dollar and is gladly accepted in exchange offices in tourist centers. The Indonesian currency is Rupiah and is constantly fluctuating. In October 2021, the course is in the exchange offices at about 16,200 rupees for 1 EURO or 16.400 USD.
