Where To Get a SWAB Test, Rapid AntigenTest, and PCR Test In Bali

As the world starts easing back into their travel plans, the industry lays down extra precautions in place to make sure that everyone enjoys safe vacations regardless of the destination. At the moment, all airlines require a health certificate and a vaccine card to safeguard the health and safety of passengers and crew on board. So if you have any plans of flying anytime soon, you might need to undergo your second or third dose of vaccine shot.

The requirements change depending on your destination. The table below shows which requirements you’ll be required to secure depending on the case.

The Rapid Antigen Test is cheaper and costs around IDR 65,000 (3.90 euros/4 USD). This also gives you results within minutes. However, getting a quick test in Bali only allows you to travel domestically. For international travel, third shot of vaccine or a booster is mandatory.

We’ve put together a list of places where you can get rapid tests and PCR swab tests in South Bali, as well as prices and contact information. To avoid any inconvenience, make sure to book an appointment first.

A swab test means taking slime specimens and using a PCR test to check for possible signs of the SARS-COV2 virus. This remains one of the most accurate testing methods available.

The downside to taking a swab test is that it also takes a longer time to receive the test results, often spanning in rare cases of up to 24 hours. It requires special equipment to complete the test, which is only available in a few laboratories.

As the name suggests, a rapid antigen test involves a faster screening process and delivers results in a matter of minutes.

*Note that antigen rapid test results in most cases cannot be older than 24 hours, if you’re using it for travel. There is also a chance to get a false positive in the rapid test. Should this happen, you will be required to isolate in the hospital and undergo further testing.

Proceeding to SWAB testing and rapid testing will allow you to be able to fly within Indonesia as well as countries where the test is mandatory. Thus, we highly encourage you to take those tests, as it will help in the fight against the virus. Make sure you remain safe and contribute to protecting people around you, by placing yourself into quarantine should the test results be positive.
