Out of major towns, where we run our retreats there is no internet access.

Q. Do I need a Visa to enter Bali? |
|
| |
Yes. All nationalities require a visa to be in Bali. For most countries, these can be purchased as you go through the immigration on entry at the airport in Bali. At time of writing these are approximately US$30. Balinese authorities are harsh with overstaying so therefore please ensure all your documentation is valid well in advance. Also, ensure that your passport is valid for a further 6 months at time of entry into Bali. See the Bali government website to confirm your entry requirements and if you wish to pre apply for an extended visa. |
