"The 14 countries are China, India, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Austria, Ireland, Kuwait, Belgium, Portugal, Qatar, Russia, Egypt and Greece," Minister of Culture and Tourism Jero Wajik said after attending a coordination meeting on politics, security and legal affairs in Jakarta.
Besides providing a visa-on-arrival facility, the government has also changed the three-day staying permit to a six-day staying permit.
The granting of the facility to the Netherlands and Sweden meanwhile is now still being processed, he was quoted as saying by Indonesia news agency Antara. He further said that Indonesia expected the number of foreign tourists to the country to reach six million this year.
Tourist arrivals have been declining in recent years following the various terror incidents in the country and the SARS threat.
The minister, however, said the permit for 30 days of stay in Indonesia would not be extended.
