Well im still stuck in Perth, will be on next flight to Bali as soon as hotel quarantine and travel bans are lifted. Glad I didn’t stay there for the lockdown as most of the lifestyle I had previously enjoyed in Bali ceased to exist. Elaborate please. I'm waiting for the borders to open up and flights to resume LAX - Denpasar. I've got a place under construction in Negara and trying to get back. Any new intel on what to expect when I return? I'm close to booking a RT flight from LAX on August 1st but the waters are murky as to if Bali will be open or what to expect when I get there. Was last there in February/March 2020. Any help much appreciated. Edit: I now hear the Denpasar airport will be accepting international flights effective June 1st from EVA airlines for those traveling with Indonesian passports only.

Edit: I now hear the Denpasar airport will be accepting international flights effective June 1st from EVA airlines for those traveling with Indonesian passports only. No non resident Caucasian allowed in Mrs village, her father even asked the local Banjar for an exception-declined. Which means I'd be locked in Denpasar/Sanur the tourist south where many business are still closed or operating on very restricted hours and must use face mask to go in public. Feel free to correct me mostly second hand information from Mrs (who is there now) and my own experience before I came back. If restaurants, cafes, bars and shopping and city life isn't your thing, maybe it would an ok experiance for you, but all the villages in my Mrs area are locked in 7am to 7pm still. Not to mention the Aust govt will pay me to stay home, where in Indonesia I've gotta live entirely off my own funds. Mrs tried to rent several different rooms in Denpasar for June, most are empty buildings under govt order, she has sent photos backing this up. Edit to update: word is some of these restrictions will be lifted 6 June

I went to Bali for our honeymoon in 1972 and since then I've had a brief visit for 3 days in 1980. Now I am back in Jakarta on retirement kitas. I was planning to visit Bali this year but have not been able to do that since the lockdown. I saw that Bali island start opening up the island for domestic travelers and planning to open for international travelers in September. When do you think is the safe time to travel to Bali again? This time since I am already retire, I am planning to stay for a while. I appreciate your input. Thank you.

Is anywhere safe? It is now clear that with the volatility of Corona outbreaks it is impossible to predict the where and when. It seems that no sooner has there been a relaxation of restrictions than there is another cluster followed by further lockdowns. This is well illustrated by the Melbourne experience in Australia and similar patterns have developed elsewhere. The desire to kick start economies and the plight of people without employment and funds is a major motivator when it comes to opening up. How long before a significant outbreak and another lockdown is impossible to predict but the prospect has to be weighed up in making any travel plans. Should you visit Bali and there is a significant change how would you manage if caught in a lockdown area or required to quarantine for 14 days?
