BALI ARRIVAL GUIDE + COSTS: Airport, Accommodation, Transport, SIM Card

[@dani-moves]

You are the most helpful youtuber for Bali recommendations out there! You are so smart, easy to follow, and helpful! Im so happy to have found you. I am a digital nomad as well. My boyfriend and I are in Barcelona, trying to make our way to Bali by mid March 2022. We are a bit nervous and making research. We are still trying to figure out the business visa (tho we are independent remote workers). We hope it goes well. We are following all your instructions. Thank you! I hope we can continue to get updates from you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 (subscribed)

[@TheNomadNextdoor]

Aw thank you SO much for your sweet comment! I am so happy to hear you found it so helpful. Best of luck to both of you! Let me know if there are any specific videos you want me to make :) Thanks for your support!

[@dani-moves]

@@TheNomadNextdoor oh gosh! so many lol. I think that at the moment i would like to know if its true that the lifestyle there is not the same and there's no tourism etc. Also, how you go about your search for housing when you are sharing a villa with others. Also, your daily routine in bali could be super cool

[@TheNomadNextdoor]

@@dani-moves thanks for the ideas! I have noted them. Bali is definitely not the same now as it was a few years ago, but Canggu is still pretty busy! I will try and make some of the videos soon :)

[@mrc6182]

Interesting and informative. One thing, though. If one is NOT an experienced scooter driver, getting on Bali roads to get experience isn't a great idea.

[@TheNomadNextdoor]

Yes, trying to learn on the busy streets of Bali is not the best idea. I personally learned in an uncrowded neighborhood after a couple months of being in Bali and observing the roads from the back of a scooter. Much better to go somewhere more remote to learn.

[@ishpreetkay]

Wow this was so helpful! Thank you so much girl! I just booked my ticket to Bali for April 1st today and I’m so excited to start living the digital nomad life 😭😍 Thank you for linking up the details in the description too 😘

[@TheNomadNextdoor]

Thanks for your feedback- you are very welcome! Ah amazing all the best!! :)

[@ourselfcarefirst]

Hello, Wow! I agree 100% you are the most helpful. I also appreciate you keeping it simple. I am moving to Bali in July. I will continue to watch for more of your useful videos. Thank you again

[@TheNomadNextdoor]

I’ve been to Bali a couple of times, returning next year for a few months. Great update for me. Terrific video!Straightforward, well shot, informational (not the “look at me, look at me in a waterfall” like so many) you captured Bali. Thank you. Definitely saving the info given. You have a new fan!

My dream is to move to Bali and be a digital nomad for a year! Thanks for the tips girly, can you do a video on how Bali is post pandemic

[@TheNomadNextdoor]

Yes you have to do it! Couldn’t recommend it more! Yep- we will work in it soon! Thanks for the idea 🌞

New subscriber, excellent Vlog well done. You are living the dream, many Australians like myself love Bali (for the right reasons). I will support your channel 😊

[@TheNomadNextdoor]

Thanks so much for your support and feedback! Much appreciated 🙏🏼😎

[@triciamae5620]

very helpful!!! excited to be in Bali in November! definitely gonna binge your videos to get more info!

[@MN-up6ig]

Since 2020 you can't just buy a simcard at your destination...you have to register it at customs (no tax if it's less than 500$) or you need a Telkomsel sim card. Only they can unlock a foreign phone for 3 month.

[@TheNomadNextdoor]

I have never heard of that before. It has always worked out just showing my passport to the person working at the sim card shop. I am guessing they register it into the system.

[@mariomichael9291]

Thank you, very informative video. Certainly answers many questions and thanks for the contact numbers for driver and scooter hire.

[@TheNomadNextdoor]

You are very welcome! Happy to hear it helps. Cheers, Kristy

[@maryschaubel8489]

Very informative. I wish I was in Bali now😀

[@TheNomadNextdoor]

Thanks! You just have to quarantine in Jakarta and then you can be 😉

[@lifewithjennilee]

Hi, how much is the average cost of hiring a driver for a full day? How about airport to Ubud? Thanks in advance for sharing 🙏🏼

[@TheNomadNextdoor]

Hi! It depends on how far you are going, and how long you want them for. Normally from the airport to Ubud is 300K for a private driver. Hope this helps!

[@almirarise4070]

Thank you

[@olarcamila]

Thanks for this amazing video! Do you know if its okay to go to bali with a dog? I'm a digital nomad and I have a golden retriever that is also my emotional support dog (PSD) you know a place where i could find this information? Thank you, you do an amazing job!

[@TheNomadNextdoor]

You're welcome! Thanks for your support. I honestly don't know much about bringing pets to Bali, but I did find a post about it here, which seems to be helpful: ouryearinbali.com/can-i-bring-my-dog-to-bali/ Hope it helps! :)

[@ExploreTransit]

Thank you for your good information. I am thinking of renting a room in a guest house, but I'm not sure about the kitchen. Will I be allowed to cook or not?

[@TheNomadNextdoor]

You’re welcome :) that totally depends on the place. I would reach out to the guesthouse directly and ask them.

For the SIM cards i heard that you must verify your phone at customs and get something called IMEI? Is this something new?

[@cred_entho]

Does metal credit card gets inserted in atm machine ?

[@homebydinner]

thanks for the informative video. i could not find the contact info for ajust, the man who picked you up from the airport. can you provide that please?

thank you but can I spend my Quarantine in bali or not ? my flight is from Riyadh _ Jakarta _ bali .

[@TheNomadNextdoor]

The Bali international airport is still closed, so all quarantine time is done in Jakarta 🙂

@@marcoo1980 you’re very welcome!

[@Naufal-sq3oo]

the restricted rules are lifted since today, no more banned countries and you can quarantine in Bali (direct flight only, 7 days quarantine) hopefully international flights will be back to bali soon, especially in march there will be a motogp events in lombok)

[@TheNomadNextdoor]

@@Naufal-sq3oo wow that’s amazing news! Hopefully soon everyone can fly in and out of Bali internationally 🙌🏼

[@amoniwatson3795]

How much does it cost to hire a driver I don’t have an international drivers license and I’m not sure if I’m good enough with directions to be on a scooter in a foreign country lol

[@TheNomadNextdoor]

It depends on where you are going. You can also download the GoJek app once you have an Indonesian SIM card (similar to an Uber) and have them take you around. Usually after one ride you can get their contact info directly from them and hire them for future rides.

[@JoshuaMathewz]

How much did you pay the driver?

[@mokhleshajhassine5796]

Is bali open for tourist without quarantine ?

[@TheNomadNextdoor]

Nope, everyone who comes in, even residents must quarantine.

[@alithedon1959]

Hi madam ❤️ I want go to bali Can I drive bike in bali with indian driving licence

[@TheNomadNextdoor]

You are supposed to have an International Drivers License, as if you are pulled over they will ask for it. However most of the bike rental shops will not ask you for it.

Your mother said that you have to love me in her dream. O kingdom of God. You are a beautiful-eyed angel who is considered holy. By my Lord, who sends down rain water, Allah says that all plants, seeds and fruits are your food. Then have children and grandchildren and multiply. Taking from the ribs of Nambi Adam and Eve, while the animals on the earth, in the air and in the sea all green plants for food. But your mother doesn't know me
