For Pakistani travelers heading to Bali, it's essential to have the contact information for the nearest embassy in case of emergencies. The Embassy of Pakistan in Indonesia is your primary contact for consular services and assistance.

Contact the embassy well in advance of your travel for consular inquiries, such as visa extensions, emergency passports, or other legal matters. Pakistani citizens traveling to Bali should always carry a copy of their passport and visa for identification purposes.
Driving License
If you plan to drive while in Bali, you must be aware of the local rules and regulations. As a Pakistani traveler, you need an International Driving Permit (IDP) and your national driving license. The IDP is recognized globally, allowing foreign visitors to drive legally in Indonesia.
- How to Obtain an IDP: Before your trip, you can apply for an International Driving Permit through the Pakistan Automobile Association (PAA) or relevant authorities in your city.
- Driving in Bali: Bali has narrow roads and heavy traffic, and motorcycles are standard, so driving can be challenging. Be cautious, especially in crowded areas. If you need to familiarize yourself with driving in Bali, consider using a rental car with a driver or relying on local transport options.
Common Words for Greetings
Although Bali is in Indonesia, knowing some basic greetings in the local language, Bahasa Indonesia, can be helpful. Here are some standard Indonesian greetings that you might use during your trip:
- Selamat Pagi (Good morning)
- Selamat Siang (Good afternoon)
- Selamat Malam (Good evening)
- Apa Kabar? (How are you?)
- Terima Kasih (Thank you)
- Sama-sama (You're welcome)
- Selamat Jalan (Safe travels)
- Permisi (Excuse me)
In tourist areas like Ubud or Kuta, many people understand English, but using basic Indonesian greetings will help enhance your experience and show respect for the local culture.
Chargers & Electrical Devices
Bali uses a Type C and Type F plug with a voltage of 230V and a frequency of 50Hz. Travelers from Pakistan should bring the appropriate adapter for their chargers and electrical devices. You'll need a plug adapter to match the Indonesian sockets if you carry devices with Type A or Type B plugs.
- Voltage: 230V
- Frequency: 50Hz
- Plug Type: C, F (two-pin round plugs)
Consider bringing a power bank to charge your devices during day trips, as not all locations may have easy access to charging points.
Health Insurance
Health insurance is always wise when traveling to Bali to ensure you're covered in medical emergencies. While Indonesia has decent healthcare facilities, particularly in major tourist areas, it's always better to be prepared.
- Travel Insurance: Opt for comprehensive travel insurance that covers medical emergencies, accidents, and emergency medical evacuation.
- Emergency Contacts: Note local hospital numbers and the nearest medical facility to your accommodation. The Bali International Medical Centre (BIMC) is a well-known hospital that caters to international tourists.
