Reopening Bali 14th October (or not)
On 13th October late evening (Indonesian time) Indonesia officially announced the reopening for
tourist on Bali and Batam starting 14th October for the following 19 nationals.
Bahrain
Kuwait
Saudi Arabia
Qatar
United Arab Emirates
Italy
France
Hungary
Liechtenstein
Norway
Poland
Portugal
Spain
Sweden
China
India
Japan
South Korea
New Zealand
Requirements:
-B211 visa
-fully vaccinated
-before departure, max 72 hours a negative PCR-test
-upon arrival in Indonesia, another PCR-test
-quarantine for 5 days/4 nights*
-PCR-test after the quarantine
-hotelbooking for the entire stay
(not sure if this is for Bali or Batam only or also for other islands)
-health insurance with a minimum of US$ 100.000
It may be clear that when the
announcement is only a few hours before the intended date no international flights have landed on both Bali and Batam.
Until now (16th
October) and as far as I know no slots have been claimed by airlines for arrival/departure on both airports official
quarantine hotel lists seem hard to find.
To be short and regarding the headliner: everything about visa, flights and hotels is still unclear but we will see
what the near future will bring.
*Also for passengers who arrive/quarantine in Jakarta. It is not possible to enter Indonesia in Jakarta, continue to Bali and quarantine there.
Good sources for information are pages on Facebook for Covid-19 related news and about visa.

WELCOME TO
FLORES - INDONESIA!
Welcome to our paradise
lontar palmtree, the source of moke
FLORES is an island in the tropics south of the equator, belonging to the lesser Sunda Islands (Nusa Tenggara Timur) of Indonesia. The original name of Flores is Tandjoeng Bunga, Malay for flowercape. When the Portuguese came to the island they renamed it into Cabo de Flores and the Dutch shortened it into Flores which means flowers.
FLORES is mostly green, partly dry, mountainous and heavenly beautiful. Flores has everything when dreaming of a tropical island.
FLORES has some gorgeous touristic attractions like the prehistorically komodo dragons, the “Spielberg like” Kelimutu lakes, majestic volcanos like Inerie and Ebulobo and traditions we have almost forgotten in this hasty world. And much more.
Come and see the empty beaches, enjoy wonderful diving, adventurous trekkings, deserted islands, pristine forests, all colour lakes, hidden waterfalls, impressive ceremonies, traditional villages, awesome music, interesting ikat (woven cloth) and above all the welcoming people of Flores. Superb is the only word which fits them all.
You will be surprised by this warm and cool island.
EXTRA
INFO
This website is for information and anything you need for your holiday on Flores.
As I am not an agent I do not sell packages.
However, I will be happy to help you to compose a trip on Flores which suits you and I can find you a car with driver for a fair price. I am "working" together with drivers and guides who I know personally. No fee, no commission, everything without any profit. My mission is to help travelers and get the tourism on Flores on a higher level. Tourists happy with fair prices and good information, locals happy to get an income from tourism which is badly needed as Flores is one of the poorest islands of Indonesia.
If you are satisfied with the information and/or the result please tell me, preferably via the comment page. If you are not, please let me know as well.
People of Flores are awaiting you and will be proud to show you their island.
