Indonesia signs diplomatic visa waiver deals with three nations
Indonesian Foreign Minister Sugiono signed visa waiver agreements for holders of diplomatic and service passports with Lebanon, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and the Dominican Republic. The signings occurred on September 23, 2026, during the 81st United Nations General Assembly High-Level Week in New York.
These agreements are intended to strengthen bilateral ties and increase interaction between Indonesia and the three nations. The Indonesian government views these diplomatic facilities as a potential first step toward establishing broader visa-free access for general Indonesian citizens in the future.
During bilateral meetings, discussions with Lebanon included economic cooperation and the situation in Palestine. Lebanon also acknowledged Indonesia's ongoing contribution to regional stability through its participation in the UNIFIL peacekeeping mission since 2006. Meetings with Saint Vincent and the Grenadines touched upon development cooperation, specifically regarding mango and breadfruit product diversification, while talks with the Dominican Republic focused on facilitating mobility and building mutual trust.
