More than 600 Chinese nationals have extended their stays in Bali amid fears of the Covid-19 outbreak in China, securing emergency stay permits that enable them to remain on the resort island for another 30 days after their visas expire.
The Law and Human Rights Ministry’s Bali office spokesperson, I Putu Surya Dharma, said the Chinese citizens had applied for the emergency stay permits through three immigration offices in Bali, namely Ngurah Rai Immigration Office, Denpasar Immigration Office and Singaraja Immigration Office.
