Regulations
The decision comes as several major tourist destinations have raised visa fees this year, including Japan, which introduced its first visa fee increase in nearly 50 years.

Tourism Minister Widiyanti Putri Wardhana says the government has no plans to increase visa fees for international tourists amid a global trend of rising visa costs. She added that there was no indication from the Immigration and Corrections Ministry that such a policy was under consideration."I don't think there are any plans [to raise visa fees] at this point," Widiyanti said on Wednesday as quoted by Bisnis.com.
On the other hand, the government has expanded its visa-free entry policy, under Immigration and Corrections Ministry Regulation No. 10/2026, which took effect on July 9, adding six countries and territories to its visa-free list, including Turkey, Brazil, Peru, Kazakhstan, Macau and Belarus.
