Health authorities have attributed the increase to Omicron.Known for its surfing, temples, waterfalls and nightlife, Bali drew 6.2 million foreign visitors in 2019, the year before COVID-19 struck, but tight pandemic border restrictions devastated tourism, which is usually worth 54% of its economy. Singapore Airlines (SIAL.SI) said on Friday it would resume flights to Bali from Singapore starting on Feb. 16.

Senior minister, Luhut Pandjaitan, said from Feb. 4 international visitors who were vaccinated against COVID-19 would still be required to do between five and seven days of quarantine.Last week, Indonesia opened two islands close to Singapore to visitors from the city-state. According to Ida Ayu Indah Yustikarini, an official at the Bali Government Tourism Office, the island has been receiving foreign visitors in the past few months via the capital Jakarta, but there were no official numbers available.

And in a bizarre video on social media, she films herself thanking friends and family for their “support” after news of his death broke. She says to the camera: “Naturally I am sad. And if you guys don’t hear from me, it’s not because I don’t want to answer, I need time to process things. Please don’t believe anything until a statement comes out from the police department. However, Bali police have arrested her on suspicion of murder. Matt’s ex-girlfriend in Bali, Allin Efashion, told UK news papers : I was with him before he got with Emmy. He was a perfect gentleman, a caring and lovely man. He was the love of my life. I can’t believe he’s gone. He texted me just a few days before he died, saying he hated Emmy because she ruined his life — and he was sorry for leaving me. He was the best father to his two girls and step-daughter and was loved by many friends in the UK and Bali. May he rest in peace. Other friends revealed they feared for Matt’s safety in the weeks leading up to his death. They described Pakpahan as a “psycho” girlfriend who has been accused on Bali Facebook groups of being a serial scammer who has conned foreigners out of tens of thousands of pounds.

Brit murdered in Bali

Matt is understood to have arrived in Bali from Gloucester in February 2020. He got a job with the hotel group and often shared videos and pics on social media of his “dream” life on the Indonesian island. A keen chef, he regularly cooked treats for friends on Bali and even held a “Come Dine With Me” event at a restaurant there last year. A Foreign & Commonwealth Office spokesman said last night: “We are in contact with the Indonesian police regarding the death of a British man in Bali, and are supporting the family at this difficult time.

Bali’s beautiful tropical scenery, surf beaches and party scene have made it a playground for masses of Australian and New Zealand tourists, as well as those based in nearby cities such as Singapore. Almost 200 tourists were deported from Bali in 2021, Manihuruk said, with seven booted out for violating COVID-19 protocols. In July, three foreign tourists from the United States, Ireland and Russia were sent home after they were caught not wearing masks in public during a raid. In May, a Russian influencer and a US-based Taiwanese YouTuber were deported after posting a video where the former was seen strolling around Bali with a painted mask on her face. The video sparked fury from Indonesians online, who demanded the pair apologize and be sent home. Indonesia has been seriously hit by the coronavirus pandemic. As of Wednesday, it had reported more than 4.2 million confirmed COVID-19 cases and more than 144,000 deaths. Bali alone reported more than 110,000 confirmed cases with over 4,000 deaths. With vaccination rates relatively low, the country remains vulnerable to new outbreaks, especially of the more easily transmitted Omicron variant that is driving record case numbers in Europe. There have been 68 confirmed cases of Omicron in Indonesia so far, according to government data.

Expensive Bali street dog on private jet

Expensive Bali street dog will travel on a 40.000 $ private jet flight to Australian new home to be reunited with family before Christmas . Natasha Corbin has spent the past six years trying to get Munchkin into Australia after falling in love with her while living in Bali with her fiancé David Daynes. The couple had been living in Bali as Ms Corbin runs an online marketing business and was able to work remotely. When we decided to move to Bali, my partner had one rule for me because I’m such a dog lover and that was that I wasn’t allowed to interact with any dog,” Ms Corbin said. I just ignored all of the dogs as best as I could and this dog, Munchkin, she was just a little tiny puppy, would follow us around because she had just somehow ended up near our villa.” There have been many twists and turns to Munchkin’s journey to Australia since Ms Corbin first laid eyes on her as a puppy six years ago.

“The reason we were in New Zealand was we had to live there for a while to get our dog cleared to come to Australia,” Ms Corbin said. She said international pet quarantine restrictions made it easier to bring a dog to Australia from New Zealand rather than Indonesia so the couple moved there two years ago. But Ms Corbin has been separated from Munchkin and Mr Daynes for the past five months after returning to Australia for surgery on the Gold Coast.Now she’s taking drastic action by hiring a private jet and trying to sell seats to human passengers to offset some of the cost.

“I just want them home and I want to take the option that’s most likely to work and if that means we have to pay extra and try and sell these [private jet] seats and do all of this extra work, I’m willing to do it,” she said. A jet doesn’t come cheap, however, with a $40,000 to $45,000 price tag, so Ms Corbin has reached out to the Sunshine Coast community to find human travellers also wanting a seat on the plane. I have been inundated with people sharing their stories of how they’ve been stuck and they’ve had their flights cancelled over and over again,” she said.

Munchkin. desperate to get back with their family for Christmas.

Failing to rehome the puppy a number of times in Bali, Ms Corbin decided to bring her home to Australia, but she didn’t realise the hoops she had to go through. “We were told the process would take about six to eight weeks and cost us about $10,000, but it’s now been almost six years trying,” Ms Corbin said. Munchkin’s quest for Australian residency has seen the pooch live in four foster homes in Singapore, including a penthouse — a far cry from her humble beginnings on the streets of Bali. Her journey has been plagued by health-related travel restrictions pre-dating the pandemic, after being bitten by a tick while transiting through Singapore. During that time Ms Corbin and Mr Daynes relocated back to Bali so they could fly to Singapore to visit Munchkin once a month. Munchkin consistently failed health tests to get into Australia but, after being deemed non-contagious, she finally received an official permit last week to enter the country.

I stopped counting how much it cost us when we hit $40,000 and that was about three years ago Ms Corbin said.

With COVID-19 further complicating their quest, Ms Corbin said ordering a private jet to transport her now six-year-old dog to Australia was her only option. One of the biggest challenges we have is that getting the dog out of New Zealand she needs to go through Auckland, and flights to go from the North Island aren’t considered green zone,” Ms Corbin said. Also, flights from the South Island of New Zealand direct through into Queensland have largely been cancelled, and there’s very little availability.” She said with COVID-19 quarantine restrictions between the North Island of New Zealand and Queensland, Mr Daynes would be in quarantine for Christmas and Munchkin would be unable to travel on a commercial flight until January next year due to availability.

I have been saying to my partner for the past two or three years, ‘Imagine if something happens, and we end up flying her home on a private jet’,” she said.The next step is selecting other passengers and managing weight limits. Ms Corbin said she was meeting 11 people from New Zealand via Zoom to work out who could arrange to be on the plane to Brisbane at short notice.It will just be whoever is able to book in with us because we really would like to organise the flight for next week,” she said. I don’t know if we’ll be able to take seven other people because of weight restrictions so we might only be able to fit five other people at this stage.” At this stage, anyone on the flight from the South Island should not have to quarantine on arrival according to Queensland government guidelines.

Ms Corbin is eagerly awaiting the arrival of an import certificate for Munchkin, which would bring her home without having to quarantine, six years and tens of thousands of dollars later. Wouldn’t that be the ultimate success story from this street dog from Bali that we just found underneath our scooter one day ?
