Indonesia is planning to introduce a visa that will allow remote workers to live there tax-free. Indonesia’s tourism minister Sandiaga Uno announced the proposed five-year ‘digital nomad visa’ earlier this month.

According to Bloomberg, the minister told reporters that he hopes to bring up to 3.6 million overseas travellers with this move. He added that the proposed visa will allow freelancers across the world or those working remotely to live on islands like Bali, provided their earnings are from companies outside of Indonesia.

From May 22 onwards, passengers flying from India to other countries that require a negative RT-PCR test report must furnish reports with a QR code, failing which they would not be allowed to board.

Posting an update, Air India Express noted, “Attention Passengers, effective 22nd May 2021, passengers boarding international flights from India should ensure that the test report has a QR code linking to the original report. This is applicable only to those passengers who are required to carry a negative RT-PCR test report as per the guidelines/requirements issued by the destination country.”

This decision to link QR codes with the test report comes after accusations of travellers from India furnishing fake negative RT-PCR reports to fly abroad. Some states within the country which had made negative reports mandatory had also been concerned at this practice.

Last month, the Hinjewadi police had arrested two travel agents and had charged them with selling fake RTPCR test reports for INR 600 each to passengers travelling to Gujarat and Rajasthan. The police had then said that there were more people involved in the racket and the gang had prepared more than 500 such fake reports. In Pune, two testing lab technicians had also been arrested for forging RT-PR reports.

Two people allegedly issuing fake negative RT-PCR reports for INR 700 each were also arrested in Bengaluru. Police in Kerala's Ernakulam had also busted a racket involved in issuing fake RT-PCR negative reports.
