PLANNING A TRIP TO BALI
The best time to visit Bali is between May-October. The weather is more favourable, cool,
and dry. However, this is also the peak tourist season, and you might find a lot of travellers
wherever you visit.
The cost of travelling largely depends upon the time of the year, accommodation preferences,
and commute choices. However, the average cost for a budget-friendly getaway can be $50-
70/day (INR 4,000-6,000).
BALI VISA
Indian passport holders can either apply for an eVISA or a Visa on Arrival to visit Indonesia.
Both allow Indian travellers to stay in the country up to 30 days. The process is simple and
straightforward, but we personally recommend everyone apply for eVISA to save time and
avoid waiting in two long queues.
Go to the official eVISA portal to begin the process. Click here.
Note: If you’re travelling for tourism purposes, specify the main purpose of your visit as
‘General, Family, or Social’ and specify ‘Tourism, Family Visit, and Transit’ in the sub
purpose category. Finally, you must select ‘B1 – Tourism (Visa on Arrival)’ option.
If you wish to apply for Visa on Arrival upon reaching Denpasar Airport, ensure that you
have hard copy of all the necessary documents, like return flight tickets, hotel bookings, and
2 passport size photographs.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Besides having a passport with more 6 months of validity, travellers also require the
following documents to clear immigration in Indonesia:
1. Return flight tickets

2. 500K IDR or $30 (VoA fee)

3. Custom declaration form
You can fill this form after arriving in Bali as well. It is a mandatory form, and the
officials scan the QR code obtained after the successful submission to allow entry. To
avoid spending more time at the airport, you can fill this form online beforehand. The
form can be filled 3 days before arrival. Click here.
REACHING BALI
Travelling to Indonesia is convenient and hassle-free owing to the regular flight operations
from all major cities in India. You can find plenty of good airline carriers flying direct flights
or budget-friendly flights.
Find your flight options here.
It is advisable to plan your trip and book return tickets to Bali at least 2 months prior the
departure date to claim better deals and pricing.
NETWORK & CONNECTIVITY
Staying connected in Bali is convenient as every hotel, restaurant, and café offers free WiFi.
Besides relying on the WiFi connectivity, you can also purchase an eSIM from Airalo. Use
PRAKRI0700 for a $3 credit.
TRAVELLING INTERNALLY IN BALI
Bali is one of the most tourist friendly islands and its neighbouring islands also boast the
same quality. From comfortable taxis to scooters to Gojek, you will find a suitable mode of
transportation almost everywhere.
Private taxi tour

Travelling in Bali is convenient, but a private taxi makes the commute smoother. We hired a
private taxi to explore areas like Munduk and Sidemen in a private taxi.

Contact our taxi driver, Wayan Agus Batuan on WhatsApp. Alternatively, you can also reach
out to Bali Friend Tour company over WhatsApp to hire a private car.
Note: The general tariff for a 12-hour taxi hires ranges between 750K IDR to 1000K IDR
(~$46 – 60).
You must try to bargain for a better deal at the time of booking.
App-based taxi tour

There are also two reputed travel and tour companies that offer full-day private taxi tours to
explore Bali.
1. Headout: Check out their Bali tours here.

2. Klook: Check their Bali tours here.
App-based scooter commute

If you’re not travelling in Bali on a Gojek, you’re probably doing your trip wrong. Tourism in
Bali piggybacks on Gojek scooter riders to an extent and it is also one of the quickest and
most fun ways to commute on the island. Gojek bike rentals are extremely economical, safe
and the best way to beat the Canggu and Ubud traffic.
Download Gojek for Android and iPhone.
Scooter rentals
The most common and flexible way of commuting around Bali is on a scooter. Daily rentals
are affordable and give you the liberty to travel on your own pace.
Scooter rentals range between 100K – 200K IDR/day (~$6 – 12).
Note: You do not require an International Driving Permit to rent a scooter in Bali, but it is
highly advisable to have the permit to avoid any unnecessary fines or penalties.
Don’t forget to bargain before hiring a scooter. Most rentals offer better deals on 2 day
rentals as opposed to single day hire.
MONEY MATTERS IN BALI
Just like travelling to any other country, it is crucial to keep a few points in mind while
planning the trip:
1. 100 IDR = ₹ 0.52

10,000IDR = ₹51.63
10,000 IDR = $0.61

100,000 IDR = $6.15
2. Payment of expenses by card
Most of the hotels, convenience stores, pharmacies, restaurants, cafes, and shops
accept card payment. Ensure that you’re carrying a 0% Forex card to minimize excess
foreign currency exchange rates. We used Niyo Global Credit Card throughout the
trip (this is not an ad, it is based on our genuine experience).
You can also check out other travel friendly cards like Fi Card, BookMyForex YES
Bank Forex Card, Axis Bank Multi-Currency Forex Card, among many others.
3. Exchanging money in Bali
The most reliable and advisable way to carry physical currency is in USD. You can
use platforms like Orient Exchange to procure USD.
Only visit authorized money exchanges in Bali to convert your USD to IDR.
Here are a few reliable money exchanges to consider:
- Prasarana Money Changer
- MBP Money Changer
- Amandana Money Changer
