Current Travel Situation
Brazil to Indonesia: What You Need to Know
Indonesia has a visa on arrival (VOA) program that includes Brazilian passport holders, granting 30 days extendable once to 60 days total for an additional fee. Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) is the most common entry for Brazilians. Getting to Indonesia from Brazil requires connections in Singapore (SIN), Kuala Lumpur (KUL), Tokyo, or the Gulf. Singapore-to-Bali is under 2.5 hours on Scoot, Tiger Air, or Garuda.
Practical Tips
Bali's cultural core is in Ubud, not the beach resorts of Kuta/Seminyak (though these are also popular). Ubud's rice terraces (Tegalalang), Tirta Empul holy spring temple, and Monkey Forest are essential. Mount Batur volcano sunrise trek (pre-dawn start, 2-hour climb) is excellent. Lombok has beautiful beaches (Kuta Lombok, Tanjung Aan) quieter than Bali and the Gili Islands (Gili Trawangan) offshore. Komodo National Park requires a liveaboard boat or organized tour from Labuan Bajo (flights from Bali). Scooter rental in Bali is the standard local transport; wear a helmet and drive on the left.
