Motorcycle License Requirements: how it works in Indonesia — first-hand

Short answer
To legally ride a motorcycle in Bali, you must hold a valid International Driving Permit with a category A endorsement or a local Indonesian motorcycle license. Driving without the correct documentation leads to fines, potential deportation, and the invalidation of your medical insurance in the event of an accident.

From real experience

To legally drive a motorbike in Bali, you need a valid driver's license.
While rentals may not always check for a license, you can obtain an International Driving Permit (IDP) or a local Balinese license. Russian domestic licenses are generally not sufficient for driving legally or for insurance purposes in case of an accident.

Category B driving licenses (for cars) are not sufficient for motorcycles. Riding without the correct license can result in fines (around $100 USD) and potential issues with police.

'Tourist licenses' or fake documents are not legal. Lack of valid documents invalidates medical insurance and increases risk in case of accidents. Local police frequently stop tourists; wearing a helmet and proper clothing significantly reduces the chance of being stopped.
