Safety
Bali is under level 1 (exercise caution)
Korea's foreign ministry page for Indonesia (checked 2026-10-30) puts everywhere except Papua, Maluku, Aceh (level 2) and Central Kalimantan (special advisory) at level 1. For Bali it warns of motorbike snatch theft in Kuta, bites from loose dogs and monkeys, and drowning in water activities; heavy rain in the wet season (Nov-Mar) and volcanic activity also occur.

Schooling
Education: Indonesia's 'SPK' cooperation schools
A school operator's guide explains that Indonesia replaced the 'international school' label with SPK (cooperation schools) under Permendikbud 31/2014. SPK schools partner with an accredited foreign institution, and Bahasa Indonesia is taught to all students. As of 2026-10-30 our directory lists 42 schools in this city (still growing).
- SPK instead of 'international school'
- Partnered with a foreign accreditor
- Bahasa Indonesia for all
