Bali has introduced a special visa to welcome artists and athletes more easily, and it’s also expected to bring more tourists to the island by allowing more live events.
This visa is for foreign athletes and creatives who will stay in Indonesia for a short time and won’t take away jobs from locals. They won’t need to go through the usual process of getting work permits, police certificates, or showing five years of work experience and qualifications.
Now, they can apply for this visa on the evisa.imigration.go.id website. This is great news for Bali, which has been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. The government hopes this new visa will boost tourism, especially with big international music and sports events like MotoGP in October, the Coldplay Concert in November, and the U-17 World Cup in December. It’s a positive step for artists, athletes, and tourists looking to visit Bali.
