Useful Information
If it is your first trip to beautiful Bali here are some tips to assist in making your stay a pleasant one.

Visa upon entry is US$35.00 per person or equivalent in other currencies, please check to see if your country of origin needs to pay. They will now give change in Rupiah on the rate on the day. Australians are now exempt from having to pay for a VOA and can enjoy their holiday with extra money in their pockets.
Departure Tax is Rp 200,000 per person and now in the purchase price of your airline ticket.
Airport porters are always waiting to carry your luggage, they will try to charge extortionate amounts but you should not pay any more than Rp 20,000 - Rp 40,000, remember they sometimes team up and you have to pay for each person separately...please be aware. There are now luggage trolleys that you can load and exit with by yourself.
Do not change money at the airport if possible, the rates are sometimes well below normal money changer rates. There are very good money changers in Ubud, reputable and great rates and no commissions, so don't panic about not having large amounts of Rupiah before coming.
If you are hiring a scooter in Ubud, the going rate is around Rp 50,000 - Rp 60,000 per day.
Respect the culture and remember you are a guest in Bali. Please be mindful of dress codes, you are not at the beach. Please dress modestly in Ubud.
Ubud is cooler than the lower regions of Bali so a lightweight long sleeve jacket is essential, especially if you will be riding a scooter.
The power is 220V, 50 Cycle and the plugs are dual round prongs of the European variety. Some hotels have adapters but is good to bring your own just in case.
Do not use roaming if possible as the fees are extortionate, bring a unlocked phone or buy a cheap phone in Bali and use a pay as you go sim card, saves the headaches of the shock of huge bills when you return.
Have your laundry done before you leave so your clothes are nice and fresh upon arrival and very cheap to be done in Bali in general.
