Jakarta, MINA — The Government of Indonesia and the Sultanate of Oman have officially signed a visa exemption agreement for holders of diplomatic, service, and special passports.
The agreement was formalized during a bilateral session held in Muscat and was signed by representatives of both countries: Mohammad Anis Matta, the Indonesian Deputy Foreign Minister, and Shaikh Khalifa bin Ali al Harthy from the Omani Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
This policy is expected to open a wider pathway for the exchange of official visits between the two countries, with the aim of strengthening diplomatic, political, and inter-state cooperation.
The visa waiver agreement is also considered a concrete step to facilitate the mobility of official personnel and is expected to boost the intensity of bilateral dialogue in various fields, including economy, investment, and culture.
