Only limited groups of foreigners, including officials and businessmen, have been allowed to enter the country and only through two airports: Sukarno-Hatta near Jakarta and Sam Ratulangi in Manado, North Sulawesi.

Ngurah Rai Airport is now open to travelers from 19 countries: Saudi Arabia, the UAE, New Zealand, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, China, India, Japan, South Korea, Liechtenstein, Italy, France, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Poland, Hungary, and Norway. Authorities expected it might take about a month before visitors from these countries started arriving.

“International airlines might need about a month to sell the tickets and until they eventually land in Bali, now that we have the new regulations in place,” Bali Vice Governor Tjokorda Oka Artha Ardana Sukawati told a press briefing a day before the island’s reopening. We will just have to wait. But we are ready.”

In accordance with revised visa regulations, travelers who reach Bali will have to quarantine for five days at one of 35 government-designated hotels. They also have to present proof of being fully vaccinated against coronavirus at least 14 days prior to arrival, and present a negative PCR test result taken within 72 hours before departure.
