Indonesia has decided to allow more tourists to buy visas on their arrival in the country, in a bid to boost tourism.
The Jakarta Post reports, the new regulation was announced by Justice Minister Hamid Awaluddin on Friday.
It applies to visitors from 14 countries including China, India, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Egypt.
A 30-day visa will cost US$25, and a six-day one, $10.
Authorities say they hope the new law will boost the number of foreign visitors to around 6 million this year.
Indonesia’s tourism sector was badly hit by the October 2002 bombings on the island of Bali, which killed 202 people, most of them foreign holidaymakers.
