6.41pm: Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO)
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has advised against all travel to within 10 kilometres of Mount Agung in East Bali due to ongoing volcanic activity.
“This area is mostly covered by an existing exclusion zone put in place by the local authorities, which extends between 8 and 10kms from the crater. If you’re in this area, you should leave immediately” the advice stated.
“During previous eruptions, areas beyond 10km have also been affected by mud/debris flows (particularly in valleys) and volcanic ash falls. While in Bali, you should therefore monitor local media, exercise caution and follow the advice of the local authorities, including any evacuation orders.”
The advice stated the disruption could continue for some time and further disruption cannot be ruled out.
If you’re planning to travel to Bali, you should read the travel advice in full and use this checklist and information page from the British Embassy in Jakarta to make sure you’re fully prepared before you travel.
