REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- The Government of Britain offers visa free visits for Indonesian business people representing 23 selected companies. Indonesia is the third country in Asia Pacific receiving the "Selected Business Scheme" after China and India.
"The most important criterion is that the companies have big contribution to the economic relations between Indonesia and Britain," says British Ambassadors to Indonesia Moazzam Malik here on Thursday.
Dominique Hardy, the Director of British Visa Department for Asia Pacific said at present there are only 23 companies selected. However, it is not impossible that the number would increase as Britain would make regular evaluation.
"The 23 companies deserve to be included in the list as so far their staff and families have traveled to Britain regularly," Hardy said.
The companies to receive the SBS facility are British companies having branches in Indonesia and Indonesian companies having units in Britain, such as PT Bank HSBC, PT Standard Chartered, PT Sinar Mas Grup, and PT Astra Zeneca Indonesia.
