Chairman’s Message 30 April 2022

/

April sees more Covid restrictions being lifted in Asia, with both Thailand and Indonesia making it easier for superyachts and their crews arriving in our beautiful cruising grounds. Indonesia is easing access for yachts to enter Bali, Batam, Bintan and Nunukan, and quarantine is now lifted for arrivals by air or by sea. Good news for foreign-flagged yachts is the new visa on the horizon as the country slowly gets back to pre-Covid times. Thailand will lift the RT-PCR testing requirement for international arrivals from 1 May 2022. Travellers, including international yachts, will be allowed to enter the kingdom without any pre-arrival or arrival tests.
