indonesia ranks seventh in travel freedom among countries in southeast asia

Henley & Partners, a firm that studies citizenship and residency visa issues, has announced that Indonesia ranks seventh in travel freedom among countries in Southeast Asia.

The data was announced in the firm’s 2017 visa restriction index, which was created in cooperation with the International Air Transport Association (IATA).

The index measures the number of countries a particular country’s citizens can visit on a free-visa policy.

Currently, the Indonesian passport enables its holders to travel to 57 countries on a free-visa policy.

The rank shows that Indonesia’s travel freedom is lower than that of Timor Leste, which sits in fourth place with access to 83 countries on a free-visa policy.
