Bali Travel Info – Know Before You Go

Passport

Your passport must have at least 6 months left before expiry.

Smart Traveller

Check smart traveller for warnings prior to going to Bali and register your details on the website. Please note, however, that due to Bali’s past, there are usually always warnings of some kind.

Banking

Make sure you notify your bank before you go away of the dates and location of your holiday. Most banks will cancel your credit/debit cards if used overseas without notification or if they cannot contact you immediately to verify.

Health and Medications

An important thing to do before you fly is get a letter from your GP listing your prescription medications and keep this with your medications. Please see Bali Health for further detail.
