For travellers from the UK
Entry rules, money and practical planning that apply specifically to British travellers.
British nationals normally enter Indonesia on a visa on arrival, paid at Ngurah Rai airport or bought online beforehand as an e-VOA. It runs for 30 days and can usually be extended once for a further 30.
Indonesia requires at least six months' passport validity from arrival, and airlines check it at the UK departure gate. The electronic customs declaration is completed online around landing.
Check the FCDO travel advice for Indonesia before booking anything non-refundable.
Bali is priced in Indonesian rupiah and sterling goes a long way on villas, drivers and spa treatments. Cards are accepted across Seminyak, Canggu, Ubud and Nusa Dua; warungs, markets and drivers expect cash.
Use bank-branch ATMs rather than standalone machines, decline the machine's own conversion rate, and travel with a fee-free debit or travel card.
Bali charges a tourist levy on arrival, payable online or at the airport. Most hotel quotes include service and tax; some villa quotes do not.
The NHS does not cover you in Indonesia and there is no reciprocal agreement. Comprehensive travel insurance with medical evacuation cover is essential.
Read the motorcycle clause: most UK policies only cover scooter injuries if you hold a full UK motorcycle entitlement plus an international driving permit, and wore a helmet.
Bali's dry season is April to October. UK school holidays in July and August plus the Christmas period are the peak; April, May, September and early October are the value windows.
