There are two occasions which urged me to think seriously about giving up my Indonesian passport and becoming a UK citizen. One of my friends asked if we're interested in going somewhere on Easter break, and she quite fancied Switzerland and Austria. While another one immediately said yes, I had to tell her that it's not that easy for Indonesian. We can't just hope in the plane and fly to European countries. The other occasion was when Joan and I were talking about an impulse of spending the weekend, say, somewhere in Portugal, or Italy. I told her, that of course, for Indonesian, we have to plan in at least a month in advance. At least.Being Indonesian, we are only allowed to set our foot into 11 countries without visas. For other countries, we have to embark on a long journey of collect

In my short career as a globetrotter I've learned something valuable: it sucks being Indonesian. As a country we only have dual agreements with 11 countries which allow Indonesian citizens to enter those 11 countries without having to applied for a visa. That means for the rest of countries in the world, we have to go through a tiring process of applying visa with supporting documents from family card, bank statement, proof of evidence that we have friends/family in the destined country, until the assurance from our office that we, indeed, are coming back to work for them, but wait, they don't pay for our holiday (hence bank statement). But funnily enough Indonesia allows 63 other countries' citizens to apply visa on arrival, (click here for a complete list) which doesn't apply to Indonesians who travel to those 63 countries.
