Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta.  Silmy Karim, the Director General of Immigration, has announced that international singer Ed Sheeran has arrived in Indonesia using a new visa category known as the "Music Performer Visa." Sheeran's visit to Indonesia was for his concert in Jakarta on Saturday (3/3/3034), antaranews.com reported. "The Music Performer Visa is specifically designed for musicians and their crew who wish to engage in music-related activities in Indonesia,"Director General Silmy said in a statement. Through this visa, he said that international musicians intending to perform in Indonesia no longer need to submit work permits, police clearance letters (SKCK), or proof of at least five years of work experience. Director General Silmy explained that simplifying requirements for foreign artists is necessary because they are only active in Indonesia for a short period and do not compete with local musicians. This new visa is valid for 60 days and can be applied for through the evisa.imigrasi.go.id website by sponsors, concert organizers, music promoters, or other relevant parties. With the introduction of this new visa, Silmy hopes that international musician concerts will become more frequent, thereby assisting the government in increasing foreign tourist arrivals. This visa category, officially launched on 14 September 2023, was utilized by the music group Coldplay in November 2023, the K-Pop group Twice in December 2023, and the Jonas Brothers in February 2024.
