There have been a number of significant changes recently for travellers going to Bali and one of which being the requirement is to scan a QR code at Bali International Airport in order to learn the do’s and don’ts there. 

The island’s governor, Wayan Koster, published a set of regulations that all visitors must follow while they are there. Twelve requirements and eight prohibitions make up the set of guidelines, known as the “Good Tourist Guide,” for visitors who will visit Bali.

Officials introduced the Good Tourist Guide at I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport in the form of a little information card that was supposed to be placed into the passports of passengers as they pass through immigration after a considerable public controversy which involving foreign tourists in Bali. 

Though it has only been a little over two weeks since the initial info cards were distributed, the Bali do’s and don’ts list has already taken on a new shape.

At the Bali Airport, visitors are now urged to scan a QR code. The infographics are available in English, Hindi, and Mandarin througha series of Google Docs, which are linked to by the QR code. 

There are 32 QR-code scanning stations in Bali Airport’s international arrivals area as of Wednesday, the 21st of June 2023.

Ngurah Rai Sugito, the Head of Immigration Office Class I TPI, informed reporters that “After a review, we decided to create it in the form of a QR code. Since the rules are stored on their cellphones, it will be easier for the tourist to access the do’s and don’ts card.”

Sugito claimed that although more than a thousand information cards had been given out to tourists in Bali, the QR code approach would ultimately be more efficient moving forward.

“These three languages are provided since many of the tourists from that country would often visit Bali for vacation,” Sugito continued.

Indonesian immigration is aiming to provide a “gold standard” approach to its public services. This involves enhancing tourist-friendly digital infrastructure.

One tiny step that Indonesian Immigration has taken to make its communications more approachable and simple is to convert the helpful tourist guidance into a scanable QR code.
