✈️You'll book a flight to 📍Ngurah Rai International airport.✈️

Visa and Passport🎫:

Most visitors require a visa to enter Bali, typically obtained on arrival (Visa on Arrival - VoA), valid for 30 days and it costs Rp500.000 ( around $35 ). Check the specific visa requirements for your nationality before your trip.

 If you want to extend for 1 more month, you can do it online, and no need to go to immigration office.

-Requirements‼: 

You have to fill out the e-hac international form which is an app before departure.

Currency💵:

The local currency is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) and is usually around 15000 IDR to 1 USD. ATMs are widely available in tourist areas, but it’s a good idea to carry some cash, especially for remote areas and smaller shops. There are numerous money exchange services in the island. I don't recommend to exchange your money at the airport because the fees are high. Also there are ATMS all over the island.

Best time to visit Bali☀️:

The best time to visit Bali is between April-October because its dry season, but even during the rainy season, Bali has its own charm.

What to pack🎒:

Light, comfortable clothing, swimsuits, shorts , t-shirts, sandals, one pair of good walking shoes, raincoat, hat, mosquito repellent spray (although you can find cheaper and more effective options in Bali, so it’s not necessary to bring your own). aloe vera for when you are sunburned, reef-safe sunscreen because its very expensive in Bali, diarrhoea meds ( because Bali belly is real), sanitary products and thrush meds

Don't worry if you forget anything because Bali has everything!

Apps to download📲:

1) watch up (it is used all over the place for organizing your drivers, ordering  food for restaurants, organizing a place to stay such as a villa)    2) Grab 

3) Gojek

[with 2) and 3) you can call Uber, motorbikes, food, medicines ,]

4) google maps 

Budget💰:

This is really depended on you! There are three different budgets: •Low budget: spending around 20 to 50 USD a day (food and accommodations)

•Standard budget: 50-80 USD a day (food and accommodations)

•Luxury budget: 100+ USD a day (food and accommodations)

Transportation🚘:

When you arrive at the airport you'll most likely hounded by taxi drivers, you can ignore these guys because they often are very pushy and they charge an arm and a leg. I recommend to call an uber or taxi from Gojek or Grab app to pick you up.

Water and ice🧊:

Do NOT drink the tap water and do not eat raw vegetables

Vaccinations💉:

Don't require any vaccination 

Electronics and Wi-Fi🤳🏼:

Laundry🧺:

Getting your clothes wash in the island its pretty much the easiest thing. There have everywhere laundromat and they are super super cheap.
