A brand new visa that allows nationals and residents of the UAE to enter this country.
In a statement that was reported by the VNA news agency, the Indonesian Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Sandiaga Uno stated that the implementation of a visa-free entry policy for foreigners could possibly produce up to $25 billion in additional revenue for the tourism sector in Indonesia.
The purpose of the new visa
With the intention of increasing the number of tourists that visit Indonesia and fostering economic growth through the tourism industry, Sandiaga stated that the Indonesian government plans to broaden the scope of this policy to include visitors from twenty different nations and territories. In 2024, Indonesia hopes to achieve a revenue from the tourism business of 200 trillion Rp, which is equivalent to 12.9 billion dollars.
Australia, China, India, South Korea, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, the Netherlands, Japan, Russia, Taiwan, New Zealand, Italy, Spain, and two Middle Eastern countries whose names were not divulged are among the twenty countries that are included in this list.
The country to which this visa is permitted
According to Sandiaga, any tourist from a country that is eligible to visit Indonesia will accumulate a minimum expenditure of $5,000 throughout their time there.
Golden visa for foreign tourists
During the month of September, the Indonesian Ministry of Justice commenced the implementation of the "golden visa" for overseas tourists. This visa allows travelers to stay in Indonesia for up to ten years, depending on the amount of money they have invested in the country.
