Bali: The Bali administration has allowed Chinese tourists in the island to extend their visas despite the government’s travel restrictions to prevent the novel coronavirus outbreak. Bali Deputy Governor Tjokorda Oka Artha Ardhana Sukawati said he welcomed Chinese tourists with open arms if they felt safer in Indonesia. The Chinese tourists in Bali did not have to return to their country because of the temporary restrictions, he added. “Our immigration will be more flexible toward Chinese tourists who overstay their visits,” he said. “We hope for everyone’s support if the Chinese government picks up the Chinese tourists to return to the country,” Haodong said.
