TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Taiwan is among the potential beneficiaries of Indonesia's contemplation to offer visa-free entry for tourists from 20 major source countries, following the example set by Thailand.
Indonesia's Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, Sandiaga Uno, disclosed in an interview on Friday (Dec. 8) with Metro TV that the government is discussing the launch of a visa exemption policy to attract more tourists and boost local economic development.
Currently, travelers, including short-term tourists, need to secure a visa to visit Indonesia, including the option of Visa on Arrival (VOA) at designated entry points.
Taiwanese passport holders can apply for VOA at 15 airports across Indonesia, such as Jakarta, Surabaya, Medan, and Bali, allowing them to stay up to 30 days with a one-time extension option.
Given Taiwan's place within the top 20 sources of foreign tourists to Indonesia, there is a significant chance that it will be included in the visa exemption program. This move could simplify travel for Taiwanese citizens and deepen tourism-based interactions between the two nations.
