PeduliLindungi App and Entering Bali
As of November 2023, the PeduliLindungi app is no longer a requirement for entering Bali or for general use on the island. Previously, the app was used for contact tracing and health monitoring purposes during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, with the easing of restrictions and the transition to endemic status, the app has been phased out.
While PeduliLindungi is no longer mandatory, it is still recommended to stay informed about the latest health protocols and guidelines issued by the Indonesian government and local authorities. This information can usually be found on official government websites and tourism portals.
