5+ hours immigration line Bali Airport

5+ hours immigration line Bali Airport on end of July 2022 is finally improving to normalize according authorities German blogger Sebastian Powell made reports of the worst situation regarding lineups he ever experienced anywhere in the world during his two decades .People waiting for several hours in the immigration line at Denpasar Bali Airport according Sebastian Powell. Bali Airport has always been pretty terrible when you arrive at the wrong time of day, and usually, the afternoon is the worst to get in. 2:00pm  appears to be among the worst time slots to arrive in Denpasar these days and keep in mind that with all airport experiences, wait times totally depend on arriving during peak/off-peak hours.

Only every second counter was staffed by immigration officers, something that’s entirely unacceptable on behalf of the authorities. Where is the staff? Is it so difficult to get officers on the roster to stamp people’s passports? It was horrific. Someone needed medical attention, children and adults were crying, people hadn’t had anything to drink for hours, and suddenly a shouting match escalated into a brawl that had to be broken up by officers.  All of these are homemade problems. Indonesia and Bali reintroduced the Visa on Arrival that was previously discontinued for many nationalities. It now costs ~US$35 (500,000 IDR).

Bali Airport has become a complete nightmare. The organization and wait periods have gotten completely out of control and given today’s situation there’s no way I’d recommend anyone to visit Bali until things get more efficient. With or without the arrival concierge, this is not how a tourist destination should treat visitors. Forget the charade of the visa on arrival for a moment that was initially proclaimed to be a safety measure due to COVID, but Indonesia and Bali Airport, in particular, isn’t even able to streamline that process in an acceptable manner.

Yoga influencer from Russia facing 6 years jail

Yoga influencer from Russia facing 6 years jail after posing completely naked for a photo shoot under a sacred Balinese tree in Tabanan. Instagram star Alina Yoga shared pictures of her pushing her boobs up against the tree in Indonesia on her popular social media account. But the saucy snaps soon found their way to Balinese entrepreneur Niluh Djelantik who grassed her up and called on the local authorities to intervene. Djelantik said the Russian beauty had posed naked at the 700-year-old weeping paperbark tree, known locally as kayu putih. Now the bendy influencer – who has over 16,000 followers on Instagram – could face up to six years in jail if she’s found guilty under local porn laws. The photos show her perched on the trunk absolutely starkers as she looks cheekily over her shoulder.

The tree is located at Babakan Temple in Tabananm on the Indonesian paradise island of Bali. And because the giant tree is considered sacred to locals, the nude images sparked fury. Fuming Djelantik said immigration officials are now tracking down the naked Russian. Amid a backlash, Alina deleted the nude snaps from her account and posted a U-turn apology video on May 4.

I just prayed under a tree and went straight to the police station to explain this incident and apologize.” Tabanan Police spokesperson Ranefli Dian Candra confirmed that Alina had turned herself over to the authorities and that the case will continue to be processed. But they did not mention what punishment the naked Instagram star is likely to face. According to reports, Alina could be charged with spreading pornography under the country’s harsh Information and Electronic Transactions ActIf convicted of spreading pornography, she could face up to six years in prison or a fine of IDR 1 billion
