I'm just waiting for more airlines to begin flights to Bali. Cathay has a few award flight options, but that's about it.

Quarantine requirement will be removed for all of Indonesia. Expect the official announcement some time this week.
Looks like the test requirement stays for now. No update about the insurance requirement.
Let's hope for more flights to Bali and opening of more airports for international arrivals.

The big change would be making a consistent rule for all Indonesia, so you can fly through Jakarta and don't have to find that direct flight to Bali.

I am hoping they drop the prepaid hotel requirement. Just a pain to give up flexibility if things change.

I was excited to find a Warm up Package at the Stones Resort that said "cancelable" until *the day before our stay." Then I read the rate rules, and at the bottom it says it's nonrefundable and will charge one day after booking, but the booking is "amendable." Needless to say, I am no longer excited.

Quarantine already scrapped for all Indonesia starting yesterday March 22, international travelers are only required to take a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test upon entry.

That's quarantine. There's still the issue of which airports will issue VOA. Also, whether insurance and paid hotel bookings are still needed.

No test before arrival, only UPON arrival? Uh oh, they're Thailanding.

Why even bother with this, I wanted to fly in but the hassle is just not worth it. We are going next year.

This seems unconfirmed so far


But travellers will still need to do a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test upon arrival in Indonesia, he added, without saying if pre-departure tests would continue to be a requirement.

The latest regulation for Indonesia is out. It reads:
1. Must be fully vaxxed. If not, will be forced to take the jab on the spot.
2. Must have insurance.
3. Must have negative test result 2x24h before arrival.
4. Must be tested upon arrival.
5. Must quarantine until test result (4) is out. Must show prebooked 1 day quarantine hotel.
This is almost the same as current Singapore / Thailand scheme.

Is that tested 2x24 before arrival or departure? The rule, according to AirAsia, has been before departure.

Dumb question but is 2x24 the same as 48 hours?

The Indonesian consulate general in Los Angeles says departure

"Foreign travelers must show a negative RT-PCR test result in the country or region of origin which samples were taken within a maximum period of 2 x 24 hours before the departure time. "

I think this is now slightly outdated. During a speech today (March 23rd), the President of Indonesia said there's no quarantine at all. Therefore #5 does not apply. It also sounds like the second PCR may no longer be needed either.
