Effective immediately, there's a new health declaration required before entering this popular holiday destination.
To help mitigate the spread of Mpox, visitors must now complete an electronic self-declaration form known as the SATUSEHAT Health Pass. After completing the form, you'll receive a barcode that Indonesian authorities will scan upon arrival. Tip: Take a screenshot of the barcode in case your phone can't connect to airport Wi-Fi.

One of my strengths is to know the ins and outs of different itineraries. While you might find one that is a little bit cheaper, that cheaper itinerary might involve a whole slew of headaches, such as longer waits at the airport and odd travel times.

My aim is to get you the best value for your money which means the most direct and time-friendly itinerary I can find. Unless you've advised me that you would prefer to have the cheaper options presented as well, expect value to always be the priority when planning your trip.

Heading overseas soon? ✈️ This is your friendly reminder to check your passport's expiry date. Most countries require your passport to be valid for at least six months from the end of your planned stay (otherwise, you may be refused entry).

The cost of obtaining an Australian passport is increasing by 15% on 1st July so if your passport is due for renewal soon, now is a good time to kick off the process.
