[JAKARTA] In the global hunt for talent, Indonesia is beginning to recognise that size alone is not enough to attract the world’s best to its shores. Indeed, over the past few years, the country has sought to limit the inflow of foreigners and boost its domestic talent pool instead.
Having recently recognised that to boost its fast expanding tech sector, Indonesia must also rely on foreign talent, the government has said it will introduce its Golden Visa policy sometime in August. The policy, which will waive visas for companies or individuals who make large investments, may need to offer much more if it is to succeed over the long haul.
