Visas play yo-yo in the Riau archipelago

SINGAPORE (eTN) – In January 2010, the information had the effect of dropping a bomb on tourism for both Batam and Bintan, two Indonesian islands from the Riau archipelago, across Singapore. New regulations following the misuse of fees imposed on citizens eligible for visa on arrivals (VOA) forced the Indonesian government to abolish the 7-day visa (at US$10) to leave only a 30-day visa for US$25. Local newpapers revealed last year that the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) had found more than Rp 3 billion (US$321,000) in unreported fees for visas on arrival collected over a 6-month period at Bali Ngurah Rai International Airport in Denpasar, when officials issued US$10 visas to travelers who had paid in reality US$25.
