UAE residents will soon enjoy a more convenient way to obtain visas for Indonesia, thanks to VFS Global’s new Electronic Visa on Arrival (e-VoA) platform. Set to launch in December 2024, the service will allow UAE residents, along with nationals from 97 eligible countries, to apply for visas online before traveling to Indonesia. This new service, developed in partnership with Indonesia’s Directorate General of Immigration, aims to boost inbound tourism and investment.
The e-VoA process will be fully digital, allowing travelers to submit documents, pay fees, and receive their visas via email before departure, ensuring a smoother entry experience. Dedicated support in multiple languages and collaborations with airlines like Emirates are also part of the initiative. This move is expected to enhance the traveler experience and contribute to Indonesia’s goal of attracting 14 million visitors by 2024.
