The full list of eligible countries includes:
- Brunei Darussalam

- The facility also extends to foreign nationals who hold permanent residency status in Singapore, provided they enter through certain designated immigration checkpoints within the country.
Key conditions for visa-free entry
Travellers should note that the visa-free permit comes with firm restrictions. It cannot be extended beyond the initial 30-day period, and it cannot be converted into any other type of stay permit.
The facility is designed strictly as a single-entry arrangement, meaning those who leave and wish to return would need to meet the standard visa requirements applicable to their nationality.
Notably, no African countries appear on the list. Citizens from nations across the African continent, including Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and South Africa, are not covered by the visa-free arrangement and would need to apply through the standard visa channels before travelling to Indonesia.
Legit.ng has also published residency years for foreigners who want to become Qatari citizens.
Citizenship: Australia mentions residency years for foreigners
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Australia's Department of Home Affairs outlined the residence requirement foreigners must meet before applying for citizenship.
Applicants must have lived in Australia on a valid visa for a number of years before the date they apply for citizenship.
The rules also specify how much time applicants are allowed to have spent outside Australia during that period.
