Jan. 29, 2023/ Immigration Eases Visa Extensions/North Bali Airport To Be Postponed (Again)

The Latest News From Bali & Indonesia /Jan. 29, 2023/ Immigration Eases Visa Extensions/North Bali Airport To Be Postponed (Again)

Great news for tourists arriving in Indonesia: visa extensions can now be done online. That means no trips to the immigration office. Life just keeps getting better. It looks like the North Bali airport is going to be shelved again (to nobody's surprise). The president says that we are going to be transitioning from the pandemic phase of Covid. A case of the new Kraken subvariant has shown up and the government is on the alert. And three segments on tourism in Indonesia. The weather has been up and down lately. Today it is windy and relatively cool.

Thanks for viewing, be kind to someone today and stay safe.
