Indonesia will reopen Bali to all international visitors on February 4 as part of its attempts to stimulate tourism and support economic recovery, requiring a shorter quarantine period this time.
On February 4, a prohibition on all foreign arrivals was lifted, and the quarantine period for properly vaccinated visitors was reduced from seven to five days. A seven-day quarantine is required for those who have only received one dose of Covid-19 vaccine.

Singapore Airlines Ltd. has announced that daily flights to Bali will resume on February 16, according to a separate email sent to passengers on Monday. Last Monday, quarantine-free travel between Singapore and the neighbouring Indonesian islands of Batam and Bintan was reinstated.
Bali, known for its temples and beaches, began a limited reopening in October, but visitors have been deterred by restrictions such as a 10-day quarantine, a visa with a local sponsor, and international health insurance.
The island of Bali reopens, but only two foreign tourists visit in the first month.
Only a few countries were allowed to fly directly into Bali, while the rest of the world had to fly into Indonesia through Jakarta or Manado.

According to Wiku Adisasmito, a spokeswoman for the country’s Covid-19 Task Force, visitors can travel on the island through direct or connecting international flights beginning February 4. A second bill, he said, would look into the status of Bali’s other requirements, such as a visa sponsored by a resident and health insurance.
