travelers requirement of love bali app for visiting bali

The Bali provincial government will start implementing new requirements for international visitors once the border reopens on October 14th 2021.

According to the Head of Bali Informatics, Communication, and Statistics, I Gusti Ngurah Udiyana, each tourist is obliged to download the LoveBali app prior to their arrival at the Bali International Airport, in compliance with the current Decree from Bali Governor Number 15243 Year 2020. "We have received instructions from the Bali Governor that all visitors must download and utilize the LoveBali app while in Bali." Udiyana stated on Friday, August 10th.

Udiyana noted that the Bali provincial government commenced its implementation in 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic began. "This application was actually prepared in 2020, but we opted to delay its implementation because Covid-19 transmissions continued to surge, prompting the central government to suspend their reopening plan for Bali." Udiyana elaborated.

The app was created to assist Bali's provincial administration in recording every visitor's travel history while on the island.

"We discussed this app with the central government's PeduliLindungi tracing app developer, as they both have certain similarities and desire an integrated system so people don't have to input the same data in both apps." Udiyana drew a close.

Meanwhile, the Bali Communication and Information Agency is working on a payment mechanism for tourists that would eventually combine the LoveBali app with the Bali Regional Development Bank (BPD).
