JAKARTA - Residents of RRT, Guo Jinpeng, became the electronic user of the on-arrival (e-VOA) visa that landed for the first time in Indonesia, at Soekarno Hatta Airport in Tangerang Hatta Airport. "The man entered the Indonesian Territories via Soekarno-Hatta International Airport Tangerang on Friday night (4/11) at around 22.55 WIB," said the Public Relations Sub-Coordinator of the Directorate General of Immigration at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, Achmad Nur Saleh in an Immigration press statement, Saturday, November 5. Achmad Nur Saleh explained, e-VOA is an innovation that is currently being tested before being officially launched on Wednesday (9/11). With e-VOA, he said, foreigners simply register their visa application through the website molina.imigration.go.id. If approved, then foreigners will only make online payments with credit cards bearing the Visa logo, Mastercard, or JCB. After making payments, he said, the application of e-VOA will be verified by officers and if approved then sent to foreigners via the application. Furthermore, foreigners can simply download the approved and well demonstrated e-VOA at the Immigration Checkpoint (TPI) when entering the Indonesian Region. The purpose of innovation of e-VOA is to make it easier for foreigners who use 'visa on arrival' so that it can speed up the flow of their arrival. This is because people do not have to queue again at the VOA payment counter at the arrival terminal, he said, quoted by Antara.Guo Jinpeng rides the Cathay Pacific CX797 aircraft flying from Hong Kong. The foreigner is the holder of the e-VOA index B213 published on Thursday (3/11).Guo Jinpeng became a foreigner for the first time entered Indonesian territory during the trial run by the Directorate General of Immigration of the Indonesian Ministry of Law and Human Rights.

The man from RRT admitted that he was helped by the ease of e-VOA because he could easily apply for an online "visa on arrival" through his device without lining up again at the airport. "I'm here for a business meeting in Jakarta. I can apply for an e-VOA from my country and it's quite easy," he said.
