Foreign volunteers
granted VoA

JAKARTA: Foreign volunteers entering the country to assist in
humanitarian work in tsunami-hit areas will be entitled to visa-
on-arrival (VoA) facilities, according to a minister.

Justice and Human Rights Minister Hamid Awaluddin told
reporters on Friday that the policy was aimed at supporting the
relief efforts after the calamity.

"Foreign volunteers are not required to pay the fee for the
visa, whereas tourists must still pay," he said, referring to
US$25 for a 30-day visa.

The free-of-charge visa facilities will be given to foreign
volunteers until the end of the month and may be extended. -- JP
