Do I Need Travel Insurance for Bali?

Holiday insurance for Bali is not currently a legal requirement for UK travellers visiting, but it is recommended before you travel. Medical treatment for tourists can be expensive, especially at private hospitals and clinics. In many cases, travellers may be asked to show proof of insurance or pay for treatment before receiving care. Unexpected events such as flight delays, cancellations, lost baggage or illness may turn into costly problems if you are not protected.

Holiday Extras travel insurance can help cover unexpected situations such as emergency medical treatment, trip cancellations, delayed departures and lost or stolen belongings. Whether you're heading to Bali for a two-week beach holiday or visiting several destinations in one trip, having the right cover in place can give you extra peace of mind.

You can choose a Single Trip policy for a one-off holiday or an Annual Multi-Trip policy if you travel several times throughout the year.

Our Bali travel insurance helps cover things like lost luggage, illness and flight delays. It can also support you if your plans change or something unexpected happens, so you can relax and enjoy your trip. Make sure you read your policy documents carefully for full details of what is and isn’t covered.

Do I Need Vaccinations or a Health Pass for Bali?

There are currently no mandatory vaccinations required for UK travellers visiting Bali or the wider Indonesian islands. However, it is recommended that routine vaccinations such as MMR, Tetanus and Diphtheria are up to date before travelling. Depending on your itinerary, your GP or travel clinic may also recommend vaccinations such as Hepatitis A, Typhoid or Hepatitis B.

Before arriving in Bali, travellers must complete a digital Customs Declaration and obtain a QR code for entry. Requirements can change, so it is always worth checking the latest official guidance before travelling. Because Bali has a tropical climate, mosquito bites can be common, particularly in rural areas and around rice fields. Packing a good-quality insect repellent and lightweight clothing can help reduce your risk of bites during your trip.

Bali Belly: What Happens if You Get Sick in Bali?

Bali Belly is a common name for stomach bugs that can affect travellers while visiting Bali. Symptoms can include diarrhoea, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting and dehydration. While many cases are mild, some travellers may need medical advice or treatment if symptoms become more severe.

With Holiday Extras travel insurance, you'll have access to AnywhereGP, powered by Air Doctor, with every policy. This gives you 24/7 access to qualified doctors while you're abroad, so you can get medical advice if you feel unwell during your trip.

If you need medical treatment, your travel insurance may also help with eligible emergency medical expenses, subject to your policy terms and conditions. This can help you get the support you need and get back to enjoying your Bali holiday sooner.

To help avoid illness while you're in Bali, drink bottled or filtered water, wash your hands regularly and choose food from trusted restaurants and cafés.

Does Travel Insurance for Bali Include Activities?

Bali is one of the world's most popular destinations for outdoor activities and adventure holidays. Whether you're trekking Mount Batur, exploring waterfalls, visiting temples or relaxing on the beach, Bali offers plenty to see and do. No matter what kind of holiday you're planning, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

Holiday Extras travel insurance includes cover for a wide range of popular holiday activities, so you can enjoy your trip knowing support is there if things don't go to plan.

Water Sports

Bali is famous for its clear waters, colourful coral reefs and excellent diving conditions. Many of these gentle activities, like swimming or snorkelling, are included as standard. If you plan to try something more adventurous, like canoeing or high diving (pool only), you may need extra cover.

Extended Risk add-on

Bali is also known for its adventure experiences. If you are planning something more adventurous, like bungee jumping, zip lining, or other high-energy activities, you may need to add extra cover. This helps make sure you are protected while you enjoy the more exciting side of your trip. You can add this cover before you travel, so everything is sorted ahead of time.

Use our handy activity checker to see whether your chosen activity or sport is covered as standard, or if you’ll need to add extra cover.

Top Tips for Travelling to Bali

Arrange your travel insurance as soon as you book. This may help protect you if unexpected events affect your trip before departure.

Bluebird taxis are one of the most trusted taxi companies in Bali. Ride-hailing apps such as Grab and Gojek are also widely available and can offer fixed-price journeys.

The local currency is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). Many hotels and restaurants accept cards, but it’s useful to carry some cash for markets, small cafés and local shops.

Avoid drinking tap water during your stay. Stick to bottled or filtered water and use it when brushing your teeth if recommended by your accommodation.

Bali uses European-style two-pin plugs, so UK travellers will need a travel adaptor. Local SIM cards and eSIMs are easy to purchase and can help you stay connected throughout your trip.

When visiting temples and religious sites, cover your shoulders and knees. Follow local customs and any rules at the attraction.

Before you fly, don't forget to pay Bali's IDR 150,000 (around £7) tourist levy. Paying online in advance and keeping your confirmation handy can save time when you arrive.
