Bali is a popular tourist attraction. Since it is a popular tourist attraction, there will definitely be more people visiting it every year. The following small series is about exchange of foreign exchange. After all, it is a big deal to spend money on a trip. Is it better to exchange dollars or Indonesian rupiah?
It depends on the individual. Bali is a visa-free country in landing visa, and it doesn't cost anything to go through customs. Maybe someone will suggest changing RMB into US dollars in China, and then changing US dollars into Indonesian rupiah, right? It's totally unnecessary. You have to make an appointment to change RMB into US dollars in China, unless you want to change more than 1, pieces, otherwise the small amount, such as three or five hundred dollars, the exchange rate is not much different, and you have to find something for yourself. Then some people mentioned that the exchange rate of Indonesian rupiah in Bali is high, but when RMB is exchanged for US dollars, isn't there a difference in this process? Although it would be better to exchange US dollars for Indonesian rupiah, is it almost neutral if the exchange difference in the front and the exchange difference earned in the back are added? In the end, you will find that it is a waste of time. Don't be so tired for a small amount. When you go to Bali, you can exchange RMB for Indonesian rupiah directly, and the difference is not too much. Of course, if the pick-up in advance is arranged, it is not necessary to change at the airport. Just change it at the local exchange office when you leave the airport. Don't think so complicated. After going to Bali, you will find that it is really not as difficult as you think.
However, in China, there is no way to exchange it for Indonesian rupiah, so it is usually the safest way to exchange US dollars in China and then exchange US dollars for Indonesian rupiah in Bali. In addition, with the increasing number of tourists from China, RMB can be directly exchanged for Indonesian rupiah in Bali, but the exchange rate seems to be less suitable than that of US dollars for Indonesian rupiah. So you can change some US dollars at home, and then bring some RMB with you to see which currency is suitable. It is suggested that you don't change too many rupiah at a time, and then change it after you spend it. There are a large number of money exchange shops on the streets of Ubud and Kuta, which is very convenient. If US dollars are converted into 1 denominations, the exchange rate with cleaner denominations after 29 is the most suitable, and the exchange rate of small denominations of US dollars is also general. The exchange rate at the airport is relatively poor. If you don't change it to the Indonesian rupiah at home, you can change it a little at the airport first. How to exchange
1. Local cash withdrawal of bank cards: UnionPay cards directly go to the local ATM with BCA logo for direct cash withdrawal.
The order of ATM withdrawal is: enter password-select English-select otheramount- enter withdrawal amount, select correct- select checking- a multi-word page will appear, and wait for a few seconds to return the card and make money.
2. RMB can be directly exchanged into Indonesian rupiah: it can be exchanged by appointment at the domestic China bank. You don't need to exchange dollars again, but the exchange rate is slightly worse than that of dollars, but it's not much worse. After all, it takes time and cost to go to the bank to exchange dollars. This is a more convenient method.
3. exchange us dollars in China and indonesian rupiah in Bali: because the exchange rate of us dollars is higher than that of RMB. If you want to exchange US dollars, it is better to exchange 5 and 1 denominations, and the exchange rate for small denominations is also relatively low. Pay attention to the new version of US dollars, the year is after 29. It is said that old banknotes are not accepted in some places.
The suggestion is to exchange some Indonesian rupiah for later use in China, and then take a UnionPay card to Bali to withdraw money.
Besides, there are many money-changing stalls on the local roadside! Don't go! It seems that the exchange rate is high, but there are terrible magicians who take some away when counting money. Some friends find that the money is less and people don't pay it back. So be sure to go to the regular exchange point and count the money yourself before you leave. Regular exchange point, regular quotation, billing, no handling fee. For example, BMC exchange point is a formal chain. There are many places like Kuta and Ubud, and it's easy to find them on googlemap.
credit card: many hotels, large shopping malls and small shops with credit card logo in Bali can use credit cards, but according to the regulations of different banks, different handling fees are charged. In addition, if you withdraw cash directly by credit card, the handling fee is relatively high, which is not cost-effective. Repayment in China should be converted according to the exchange rate on the day you swipe your card in Bali, and the handling fee should be paid. It is not recommended to swipe your card, which is easy to be stolen.
wechat payment: places with many tourists from China in Bali can already use wechat payment! Don't worry about not bringing enough cash, don't worry about being cheated when changing money, and don't worry about being overcharged by black-hearted merchants when swiping cards. If you see a store that supports WeChat in Bali, don't forget to open the WeChat wallet!
