March 3, 2026·1 day ago·via The Bali Sun

Bali immigration authorities at I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport prepare for a surge in tourist visa overstays as flight cancellations to the Middle East strand hundreds of travelers. Cancellations by Etihad, Qatar Airways, and Emirates affect over 1,600 passengers bound for Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha due to airspace disruptions. Officials increase staffing, offer emergency visa extensions, and waive overstay fines to assist those impacted.
