VFS Global’s new Indonesia Electronic Visa on Arrival (e-VoA) platform is now available for nationals of all the 97 countries eligible for e-VoA, including Australia, South Korea, the Philippines, Greater China (excluding Macau), Japan, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Mongolia, Singapore, Vietnam, and New Zealand.
Travellers can now enjoy a quicker and smoother visa application journey by completing the 10-minute process online and receiving a pre-approved e-VoA before departure.
Saffar Muhammad Godam, acting director general of immigration of the Republic of Indonesia, said: “We are committed to continuously improving immigration services, both in terms of quality and integrity. This partnership with VFS Global will help in ensuring that applicants receive seamless, reliable, and efficient service.”
Tato Juliadin Hidayawan, director of visa and travel documents, said: “The implementation of e-VoA, which is integrated with auto gates, not only facilitates tourists but also reduces queues at airports, increasing the comfort and efficiency of immigration clearance. Additionally, this digital system reduces direct interaction between immigration officers and passengers, minimising the potential for abuse of authority.”
Application for a visa extension can be done on the same system, once, for a stay period of 30 days.
