Based on previous years, we have put together some information to help plan your flight in or flight out of Bali on NYE, especially, if you are staying inn Kuta, Legian or Uluwatu area. Once the police put out their official map (which won’t be until a week prior to NYE) we will update this, but we thought it helpful for tourists to have this information sooner, rather than later.

RETIRING IN BALI
Just a few things to take into consideration before you sell up and move to Bali to live out your golden years…Or Silver Hair years, as they have referred to the new Golden Years Retirement visa just recently released on the Molina Website (the same government site you can do the VOA on).
Yes, you no longer need an agent to sponsor you for this visa if you choose the 5-year version on Molina, which can save you a lot of money, you can apply yourself and the cost is 13 million and can be done on the Molina website.

The Actual List and compositions of medications under the Narcotics law of Indonesia is far longer than the above list, but basically, if you have it prescribed for you then you need to declare it. If you got it over the counter in another Asian country without prescription, better to bin it before you board to Indonesia.
So, how do you bring it in, I need it?
Ever wondered about the ceremonies in Bali?
Why do the Balinese do what they do?
Why do they wear what they wear?
What do they think about tourism, tourists and other things you weren't sure if you could ask?
Ever wondered what a wedding is like, or the etiquette of what to do when you have a driver, or a Balinese friend has a baby, or even what to do if you live in Bali?
Our Bali Guide ebook is not only our past blog posts, but over 600 pages of information about Bali.
GLUTEN-FREE, DAIRY-FREE, LACTOSE-FREE, EGG-FREE, NUT FREE – GOING ON A HOLIDAY, WHAT CAN I EAT?
Did you ever get on a long haul flight and tick one or more of those boxes, only to be given fruit for all 3 meals? Many of us have.
Well, there is a lot of fruit in Bali, so you will be fine! No, seriously, you already know a list of things you can eat, you are already sending that list to the airline….so, what about the rest of your holiday?
Going on a holiday means you don’t have to cook, plan meals, do dishes etc. It’s supposed to be a time when you get hungry, you just choose one of the many restaurants on offer, right?….not for people with allergies.
Some allergies give you a pretty bad tummy, some are life-threatening. So, going on a holiday, and trying to work out what you can eat, in a foreign country (with language barriers), can be a little stressful…and holidays are supposed to be stress-free.
