Indonesia has set an ambitious target of welcoming 14 million visitors in 2024 and has achieved 9,92 million arrivals from January to August.
South Africa leads the charge in Africa as the country with the greatest number of visitors visiting Indonesia, with Bali a firm favourite.
And now VFS Global has been appointed to offer a new Indonesia e-Visa on Arrival service (e-VoA) to South Africans and 96 other nationalities.
When the e-VoA service commences in the first half of December, travellers will be able to enjoy a quicker and smoother visa application journey through VFS Global by completing the entire process online before departure and receiving a pre-approved e-VoA.
The e-VoA can be obtained by visiting the VFS Global website, submitting all the required documents, and paying the necessary fees online before travel.
Once the application is submitted, travellers will receive their visas via email before departure for a faster entry experience through E-gates or immigration counters.
VFS Global’s new e-VoA platform will ensure all the documents that applicants submit are complete and error-free. It also offers OCR technology, which will enable applicant details to be auto-populated, thereby saving time and effort for applicants.
The new platform will also provide a group booking facility, something that could benefit travel trade and convention attendees.
Meanwhile, VFS Global has partnered with Emirates to make the Indonesia e-VoA application service seamless for Emirates passengers.
