IMMIGRATION TO INTRODUCE VOA SINGLE TARIFF
Jakarta, Jan 26 (ANTARA) - The Directorate General of Immigration of the Law and Human Rights Ministry will introduce a single tariff system to Visa on Arrival (VOA) management.
"The single tariff is aimed at facilitating supervision," Director General of Immigration Muhammad Indra said in Jakarta Tuesday.
The Immigration will introduce a 25 US dollar single tariff to VOA applicants to stay in Indonesia for 30 days as of January 26, 2010.
Two VOA tariffs had been charged earlier, namely 10 US dollars for a seven days stay and 25 US dollars for 30 days stay.
Indra explained that the single tariff rate would not affect the VOA sector income too much, which caused an extension of the single tariff system.
Indra also emphasized that the single tariff is aimed to simplify the visa management and therefore, VOA manipulation will not be repeated in the future.
As reported earlier, some local immigration officials were involved in VOA management at the Ngurah Rai airport, Bali.
The Ministry of Law and Human Rights had reported the matter to the State Audit Board (BPK) and punished the guilty immigration officers involved in the case.
