Bali officials have announced that any foreign visitors who violate quarantine policies will face being deported as punishment.
The Secretary of the Denpasar Covid-19 Handling Task Force, I Made Rentin confirmed that any international visitors who violate the mandatory quarantine policy as one of their entry requirements will face immediate deportation. “Any offenders of our quarantine policy will be immediately deported back to their home country,” Rentin said on Monday (25/10).
Rentin explained that all of the hotels that are appointed as provincial government quarantine facilities will be supervised by the authorities from several different institutions to assure prevention protocols are implemented. “There are a total of 11,734 rooms between 55 appointed hotels that are located in Sanur, Kuta, Nusa Dua, and Ubud that will be supervised by local authorities such as police and military officers,” Rentin added.
Meanwhile, the Head of Bali Law and Human Rights Minister, Jamaruli Manihuruk previously stated that international visitors who refuse to comply with the implemented travel policy in Bali will not be able to gain access to the island. “Although it’s not a form of a violation of our immigration policy, visitors who refuse to undergo our mandatory quarantine will not be able to continue their trip to Bali and will be deported back to their home countries,” Jamaruli concluded.

Yup all these comments makes sense. If no one quarantines then you won't need to deport anyone. Quarantine mandate not working. Test negative before entry and again upon arrival while fully vaccinated should be enough visitors.

Anyone know whether there are direct flight from anywhere outside the country to DPS? Or if not, whether there's a scheduled date to start them? I need to go, and would rather spend my 5d quarantine in Bali, rather than 5d in Jakarta followed by another travel day to get to Bali.
Or I suppose the other question is whether one can do a same-day transit through Jakarta and go on to Denpasar without doing a quarantine in Jakarta.

The Indonesian government must have done something right if the US CDC has put Indonesia on level 1 low level of Covid-19. Now open up to the Americans...
