Bali Visas

Visitors from most countries can get a 30-day tourist visa on arrival for $25 US. Other options are to apply to the Indonesian embassy in your country for a 60-day tourist visa. A 60-day visa is applicable if your nationality does not allow you to get a visa on arrival or if you want to stay for more than 30 days.

Malaria

Bali is considered safe for malaria. All other Indonesian islands have a higher risk of malaria and precautions are necessary on dry land, although boats offshore are considered safe. If you leave Bali for other Indonesian islands – be prepared and be safe.

Appropriate travel insurance is an absolute necessity for traveling in Bali and to other Indonesian islands. To stay at the Camp you are required to have valid travel insurance.
