Indonesia Introduces Free-Entry Visas for Indian Tourists and 19 Other Nations to Boost Tourism

Following Thailand's lead, Indonesia is set to introduce free-entry visas for tourists from 20 countries, including India. This significant change aims to boost Indonesia's tourism sector and, ultimately, its economy.

Once implemented, Indian tourists, along with those from 19 other nations, can visit Indonesia with a free entry visa. This initiative is part of Indonesia’s broader efforts to enhance its tourism industry and stimulate economic growth. The Indonesian government plans to finalize this policy by October 2024, as announced by Tourism Minister Sandiaga Uno.

Minister Uno stated that relaxing the visa-free policy is expected to increase international visitor arrivals, which will have a positive economic impact. The goals of this initiative include encouraging investment, boosting domestic consumption, and supporting the growth of the digital economy.

The 20 countries eligible for free-entry visas are:

Australia

China (PRC)

India

South Korea

USA

UK

France

Germany

Qatar

United Arab Emirates

Saudi Arabia

The Netherlands

Japan

Russia

Taiwan

New Zealand

Italy

Spain

Two unspecified Middle Eastern countries

In addition, ASEAN member nations that currently qualify for visa-free entry to Indonesia include Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Laos PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Before this policy change, Indian tourists had to pay around Rs. 1,33,601 per person for a visa to Indonesia post-COVID-19, compared to Rs. 75,151 per person before the pandemic.

Clearing up some Ricciardo Rumors™️

Over the last few weeks rumors have sprung up about Daniel Ricciardo, which is fair enough considering the lineup for the RB and Red Bull seats as well as the expectations of him, but I've done a bit more research to clear things up :)

Replaced at Miami? Apparently not.

The New Zealand Herald wrote an article that claimed "Ricciardo has been given an ultimatum" (tldr: if he doesn't perform in Japan and China he will be replaced by Liam Lawson) as well as other things like "Lawson is seen internally as Red Bull’s best option to partner world champion Max Verstappen long-term."

The source itself isn't too reputable since the NZ Herald hardly does F1 reporting to begin with, but also because it's clear they would be biased towards the kiwi driver (Lawson).

These claims have also since been disproven, first by F1 journalist Thomas Maher who reported "Sources say there are no plans to replace Daniel Ricciardo, from the Miami GP or later, with Liam Lawson," and also by Speedcafe, who put out an article saying "Trusted sources within Red Bull Racing, which has an overarching contract with Ricciardo, denied the rumours outright when approached by Speedcafe"

Liam's team have denied the allegations too, saying he hasn't been advised by Red Bull of any moves so I don't think it was intentional pressure but rather just bad journalism from the newsletter.

Helmut Marko has implied DR needs to be doing better, claiming both RBs are "too slow" and Ricciardo is "a bit behind,” but he's also said "Ricciardo needs a safe and confident car. I hope the team can give him that, so he can at least be on par with Yuki," indicating his dissatisfaction is less with the drivers and more with the car.

What about in Suzuka? Yes... but also no.

Daniel Ricciardo will miss FP1 as Red Bull junior driver Ayumu Iwasa takes his car for the practice session, but this is just because F1 teams are required to to bring in a rookie for at least 2 FP sessions a season. Usually teams do this a bit later but RB brought a rookie in earlier last year too, when they were still known as AlphaTauri.

So why not bring in Liam Lawson? Technically he's not a rookie anymore since he's driven in more than 2 GPs. That, and Iwasa is Japanese and it's the Japanese GP. Only makes sense to let him shine a bit in his home circuit.

So is he in danger of losing his seat?

As of now, it doesn't look like there's any plans to kick him out before his contract is finished. He clearly brings a lot of good PR to the team, as well as advice to improve the car. The team has also been admitting the car needs improvements, and there's much to be done. Ricciardo isn't too far behind Yuki's pace either, however he needs to be actively outperforming him if he wants to guarantee moving past the RB seat or even staying another season, since it's clear there's options Red Bull wants to explore.

Just curious how hard was it to move to Europe?

I wouldn't say it was the most difficult thing ever. It has been extremely stressful at times since I didn't have a lot of direction or help with a lot of the systems. But I wouldn't say it was super crazy hard. If you create a solid plan and stick to it, it's not too difficult.

If someone isn’t horrendous at their job, you should always fill out those little “how was x agent?” surveys with something positive. It doesn’t have to be over the top, even a short boilerplate compliment like “they were pleasant/professional/addressed my concerns” can go a long way to get that person a little extra cash. Even if you didn’t get the outcome you wanted, you can say something like “your refund policy sucks and I’m never doing business with you criminals again. At least Doris was nice.”

im trying i swear im trying SO hard not to be bitchy about legends and lattes getting finalized for the hugo but . okay the hugo is a prize for science fiction/speculative fiction/fantasy fiction. and words mean things and essentially this is putting a very plot-lite romance novel with a fantasy setting up against political spec fic and like, books being entered in a contest that the left hand of darkness once won. which isn't to say that the contest itself is like, sacred ground - starship troopers, 1960 - basically heinlen's treatise on why the military is necessary to whip the youths into shape - like, it's a seventy-year-old science fiction prize, there's gonna be a lot of unlikeable books on there, actually. and its not to say that lighter books or books riding a wave of hype haven't won it before (harry potter won it in 2001)...it's just. it's a weird collection this year, is all, and the contest has skewed wider in its interpretation of spec fic in the past ten-twenty years, which i'm not upset about! words mean things but im also a huge proponent of thee two-time hugo winner UKLG's thoughts on genre. genre is as mutable as the clouds. we call things 'spec fic' often because they're difficult to categorize. but, and i'm saying this huge long preface because i genuinely don't want to seem like a wet blanket, but it's just...it's the wrong contest for the book. there's been a lot of good sff this year. but that's a romance novel. and also its not hugo levels of good
