April to September is the best time to visit Bali. Being a tropical country, it experiences relatively dry weather during these months. Even among these, the best months are the months of July, August and December. Travellers from all over the world come during this time and in terms of nightlife, the crowd, and the activities offered – it is indeed the best time to visit. Even for activities such as scuba diving, snorkelling, and deep sea diving – the weather is ideal as the visibility and sea condition is relatively stable.
October to April qualify as the off season in Bali as the seas are usually rough and monsoon takes hold of this Indonesian island. This leaves very little room for beach activities and watersports.
Bali is serviced by the Ngurah Rai International Airport, which is also known as Denpasar International Airport. Bali is well-connected to the rest of the country by a robust network of flights and internal transports. From India, one can take the Thai Airways, AirAsia X, AirAsia or Cathay Pacific as these are the most common flights operating to Bali. Flying from Chennai or from Cochin often works out to be more economical.
Travelling by any other means to Bali is neither economical nor convenient. Thus, flying works out to be the best option.
Being a primarily tourism-led country and economy, the Visa procedures in Bali are simple and it is fairly easy to obtain one. The various types of Visas that one can obtain from the Bali consulate are – Visa on Arrival(For stays less than or equal to 30 days), Visa on Arrival extension (For extending the Visa on Arrival validity to about 60 days), Social Visa or Sponsor letter (also called a social-cultural visa), Social Visa Extension, Multiple Entry Visa, and Multiple Entry Business Visa (Allows business visits but not employment).
