 Indonesia has partnered with VFS Global to make its e-Visa on Arrival (e-VoA) process more convenient for travelers. With this new collaboration between VFS Global and Indonesia’s Directorate General of Immigration, travelers from 97 countries can now benefit from an easier and faster way to apply for their visa online before arriving in Indonesia.

The goal of this partnership is to promote tourism, encourage foreign investment, and improve the travel experience for visitors. This new system will allow eligible travelers to complete the visa application online, ensuring a smooth arrival process in Indonesia.
