We’ve had tons of messages in response to differ

We’ve had tons of messages in response to different media articles people are reading about the Emergency Stay Permits ending in Indonesia📱
.
What does this mean? 🤔
.
When borders started to close earlier this year Indonesia offered visitors who were stuck here an Emergency Stay Permit. This means that even if/when their visa expired there would be no overstay fees for being in the country longer. 🤑
.
Over the weekend Immigration announced that the Emergency Stay Permits would be ending 30 days from today (July 13, 2020). 📆
.
Does that mean every foreigner must leave Indonesia? 🤷🏽‍♀️
.
No it doesn’t. Most long term foreigners who call Bali or in fact Indonesia home have resident visas (commonly known as KITAS or KITAP). Many others are here on what is known as a Social/Cultural Visa, which allows up to a six month stay. Others come in on a paid Visa on Arrival (VOA) which gives you 30 days, with the option of extending for an extra 30 days. Most Aussie tourists or short term tourists come in on the free 30 day entry. The new announcement affects mostly those who came in on the free 30 day entry. As it stands these people need to leave the country within 30 days, however some may seek exemptions if there is no way for them to get home. Other visa holders have options to extend or renew their current visas before the Emergency Stay Permits expire. 📝

If you are one of the people this affects feel free to message us and we will point you in the right direction of where to get help if you need it. ✅

If you’ve been following our stories this weekend you would of seen we’ve been checking out the gorgeous @ulamanbali 🌱
. This newly opened boutique property truly shows that being eco doesn’t mean comprising on luxury. You’ll find a private waterfall & river on the grounds and you can enjoy a spa treatment in the riverside spa room. 💆🏽‍♀️
. Perched high above the waterfall is the yoga shala 🧘‍♀️
.
The chef caters to all dietary requirements & the food is delicious. 😋
.
You can choose from a private pool villa or Cocoon Suite. There is also a large main pool on the property too. 💦
.
Perfect for a romantic staycay, hosting retreats, spending sometime out of the hustle & bustle, or even to host an event. ✅
.
Our favourite part was that we could hear the waterfall right throughout the property, like nature’s soundtrack! 🎶
.
Our second favourite part was the gorgeous teak tubs in every room! 🛁
.
Third favourite....there’s a wine cave! 🍷 🍷 🍷

Today is the day - July 9 - Phase 1 of Bali’s re

Today is the day - July 9 - Phase 1 of Bali’s reopening plan. Today businesses & beaches in Bali begin to reopen....with their COVID protocols in place. 🗓🏖
.
July 31 is the date currently set for Phase 2. This will see Bali reopened to Domestic tourism 🇮🇩
.
September 11 is then the current date set for Bali to be reopened internationally....what this will look like has not yet been released. We imagine it will include the need for a valid, negative COVID test from anyone arriving. We are yet to know if there will be excluded countries or which tourist visas will be available. ✈️
.
Of course in order to travel here, your country must also allow you to do so....sadly for our many Australian followers, it’s highly doubtful that this will would be possible in September. 🌍
.
Note that these dates are all subject to change, we will keep you updated as official information is released. ✅
.
We add all of the updates about COVID and travel to this blog as they arise 👉🏽

We spent the day in the village of one of our local friends yesterday. As much as we love the beachfront villas and exploring the beautiful landscapes of Bali....we love spending time with the local people just as much. 🙏🏻
.
The family were so sweet & prepared a huge lunch for us to share in their house. We chatted about how COVID had affected them and how they were coping during these times. 💕
.
We always love our visits to our friends’ villages, there is a real sense of family and community and always so many of those beautiful Balinese smiles! 😁

A whole lot of this happening today 🤿 🐟 ....

A whole lot of this happening today 🤿 🐟 .... I love that you can walk straight from your villa door to the water to snorkel here in Jemeluk Bay in Amed. We can even sit on the beach and watch the kids come in and out. There are so many fish and marine life. 🐠
.
❌ Please remember just to look & don’t touch any of it...and no stepping on the coral please 🙏🏻
