Bali Opens to International Tourists With a Few Steps
If you’re a queer traveler eager to return to Bali or make your first trip to a tropical paradise, you’re in luck. After almost two years of coronavirus closure, its government announced that from March 14, vaccinated travelers would no longer need to quarantine upon arrival.
However, fully vaccinated Americans must present a negative PCR test taken within 48 hours before their flight to Bali and will also have to take another PCR test upon landing. While they await results they’ll be transferred to a pre-booked CHSE-certified hotel of the traveler’s choosing, where they’ll be free to move around after receiving a negative PCR result, but also required to stay a minimum of three nights and take another test on day three. Once that day three test comes back negative, they’re free to leave the hotel.
You also need a Visa to get into Bali, and thankfully, both the UK and US are on the country’s Visa-on-Arrival list along with South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, China, China, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, India, Mexico, Norway, Poland, Seychelles, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, and Tunisia.
