Jakarta, March 24 (Bloomberg): Indonesia has added Batam and Bintan to a travel corridor arrangement with Singapore that would allow foreign visitors back in the resort islands for the first time during the pandemic, according to Tourism Minister Sandiaga Uno.
Tourism sites in Nongsa in Batam and Lagoi in Bintan will be reopened on April 21, under very strict health protocols, Uno said in a March 20 statement on the ministry’s website. Travelers will have to produce a negative PCR test prior to departure to prove that they are free of Covid-19 infection and undergo another test upon arrival to confirm the result. Eligible overseas visitors may be issued a special travel visa to join the program, Uno said.
