Indonesia will no longer require international passengers in Bali to isolate upon arrival under a trial program that starts in March, with the intention to lift all quarantine requirements by April.
Passengers who are fully vaccinated will still have to take a PCR test when they arrive and stay inside their pre-booked accommodation while waiting for the result, Coordinating Minister for Investment and Maritime Affairs Luhut Panjaitan, who is in charge of the pandemic response in Java and Bali, said in a briefing Sunday.
The trial program starts on March 14, but it can be brought forward if the virus numbers improve next week, he said. The goal is to lift all the requirements by April, at the latest.
Southeast Asia’s biggest economy is gradually easing restrictions, following some other countries in the region in preparing to live with the coronavirus even as infections continue to spread nationwide. The government is accelerating its vaccination campaign by shortening the gap between the second dose and a booster dose to three months from six.
Daily infections have eased to 34,976 on Sunday, as it added 229 new fatalities. That is much lower compared with over 2,000 deaths recorded in a day last year at the peak of the delta strain outbreak, keeping the national Covid-19 hospitalization rate at around 30%, Panjaitan has said.
The government will conduct another seroprevalence survey to measure the level of antibodies among the population, either due to inoculation or exposure to the virus, Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin said at the same briefing. The government expects to have the outcome in April, before the start of the Eid holidays, he said.
Editor's comments:
As
we have been predicting for months now the government will probably
remove the requirement for any quarantine for vaccinated Travelers who
meet certain requirements and also reinstate the visitor on arrival Visa
which makes it easy for international travellers to come into Bali.
Although
it's not 100% confirmed yet it appears from the conversations stated
below between Bali and national government officials that this could
happen as soon as the next couple weeks.
When it does happen
International Tourists will flood into Bali which is currently ranked
the number one tourist destination in the world by Tripadvisor and the
number 1 Destination in Asia as well.Let's pray for this to happen in
the coming weeks

Tourism
and Creative Economy Minister Sandiaga Uno and Bali Governor Wayan
Koster have agreed to reinstate a visa on arrival (VoA) and remove quarantine for foreign tourists entering Bali.
“The
Governor and I agree that we will both push for a visa on arrival,”
said Uno in an audio recording received by Detikcom from the Tourism and
Creative Ministry’s Public Relations team on Wednesday 23rd February
2022.
According
to Uno, based on input from the tourism industry, it is the visa issue
which is the primary sticking point to getting Bali reopened. However,
handling the COVID-19 pandemic remains a priority.
Meanwhile,
Bali Governor Wayan Koster revealed that he had discussed two things
with Uno: the issue of removing quarantine, which is planned to be
implemented in early March, and the return of VoA for foreign tourists.
“Our
discussion was a part of the coordination meeting chaired by the
Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs,” explained Koster.
Koster’s
team proposed the removal of quarantine for tourists due to data on
COVID-19 cases, indicating the current pattern is conducive and allows
for the removal of quarantine.
“It’s just a matter of looking at
the developments in the next week. If the decline is consistent until
it reaches a stable point, I think it is conducive,” said Koster.
Another
reason for the removal of quarantine is due to the lack of foreign
tourists arriving in Bali who were exposed to COVID-19. This can be seen
through the data on direct flight passengers from abroad via Garuda
Indonesia and Singapore Airlines aircraft.
“Of approximately 150 passengers, only one was positive while the others were negative,” he said.
“If
the data is like that, it’s a pity that people who are already negative
have to be quarantined for three days. This is a consideration. Of
course, the removal of quarantine requires approval from the central
government.”
The governor continued to express that he and the
minister “both agreed to push forward to accelerate the recovery of
Bali’s tourism and economy, namely that the arrival of foreign tourists
is without quarantine and applying for a visa on arrival.”
Get Ready for flood of International Tourists:
Watching Facebook posts the last couple of months I see many people who are biting at the bit to come to Bali.
I remind you that Bali was just voted the number One Destination in Asia and the number one destination in the world by the readers of TripAdvisor.
If we all work together and practice excellent Covid-19 protocol we can end this now and get Bali Back on it's feet in no time.
First Tourists will tout Bali’s inexpensive once in a lifetime opportunity.
When these first few tourists do come here and are finally released after a three-day quarantine they will want to move out of small 40 to 60 m2 Hotel rooms into our large 350 to 550 m2 Bali Luxury Villas renting for as little as $79.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
They will also realize as they travel around Bali’s major sites as we recently to Besakih temple
that this is also once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit Bali’s
attractions, parks, waterfalls and every other attraction with few or
no other tourists .
Small Start – Positive Future
So,
although this is a small start, and everybody is negative this is the
beginning of the end of the COVID - 19 pandemic in Bali.
I
also believe that after reading daily the news around the world that
many countries are going started to adopt a policy of treating COVID -19
like a common flu and not let it destroy economies as it has.
I
hope I’m right. As always I’m an optimist and after being on this earth
for seven decades I’ve learned that everything passes.
One last
comment is that those who purchase Bali properties which are severely
discounted due to the pandemic by 20% to 50% will be smiling two years
now when they realilize possible 20% to 50% increases.
I remind you that we must "think positive, act pauses to be positive".
