Visit Visa Exemption: Only 13 Countries Now Eligible

In an attempt to bolster Indonesia’s territorial security and revenue through a more selective approach to the granting of free visit visas, the government has now introduced Regulation of the President No. 95 of 2024 on the Free Visit Visa (“Regulation 95/2024”), which has been in force since 29 August 2024.[1] As a result of the enforcement of Regulation 95/2024, the previous framework to address similar matters, specifically Regulation of the President No. 21 of 2016 (“Regulation 21/2016”), has now been simultaneously repealed and replaced.[2]
