The Indonesian government has granted visa-on-arrival facility for Swedish visitors to increase tourist visits from the European country, an official said in Jakarta on Wednesday.

"The facility aims to increase international visitors and strengthen bilateral ties," immigration office spokesman Soepriatna Anwar said.

Under the privilege, Swedish visitors can obtain their visa upon arrivals here at 10 U.S. dollars for a week-long stay and 25 dollars for 30 days.

Indonesia has granted the facility for 36 countries and regions.
