Indonesia’s Bali (bali tourism) island is at the very top of the travel list of the modern generation. Its wide beaches, outstanding natural beauty, temples filled with perfect craftsmanship will impress any tourist. Bali’s photos and videos are also viral on social media. And so for content creators and influencers, a visit to this island is like having paradise in hand.

But recently several changes are going on in the visa policy there. According to the local media there, foreigners are entering there as ordinary tourists. Stepping into that country with the hope of ‘Socio-Cultural Visa’. While going there, a large number of pictures, videos, reels are being made, which are being uploaded on their page. And making money from it naturally. But can this be done with just a tourist visa? The question arises. And that’s what the immigration officials are bent on. According to them, it is violating the visa policy.

Needless to say, the arrows of complaint are mainly aimed at content creators and influencers. The professions mentioned in the new policy include make-up artists, hair stylists, photography and videography professionals, wellness coaches, yoga instructors, DJ performers, etc. Even, the immigration officials are conducting strict surveillance on social media in this screening process. Content creators are keen to understand exactly how they are ‘using’ the opportunity to travel to Bali.

This list also includes the names of free volunteers. Free Volunteer refers to the category of tourists who come to Bali hotels and restaurants and express themselves that they want to help in the daily operations there. Instead of this help, they expect free accommodation and food. This should not be done on a normal tourist visa, said Bali’s immigration office.

However, is the ebb and flow of going to Bali? Because influencers have been the most crowded place lately, it can be understood just by looking at social media. Even if the photos and videos taken there can not be used for financial gain, will there be a similar attraction to travel to Bali? The net world is eager to know.
