Indonesia Indonesia — entry & visa requirements

Mixed: visa-free, visa on arrival and e-Visa routes

Max stay: 30–90 days depending on passport

Short answer

Indonesia runs a mixed system: visa-free entry, a visa on arrival and e-Visas all exist, but Our official archive does not list which nationalities qualify. Applications go through evisa.imigrasi.go.id, and an approved visa arrives as an email download link, typically four working days after payment. Stays run 30–90 days depending on your passport; a visa on arrival gives 30 days, extendable once by 30 days. No visa fee amount is stated in our archive.

Sparse archive — being expandedThe authority block lists 'e-Visa available' with a maximum stay of 30–90 days depending on passport, while the archived material adds visa-free and visa-on-arrival routes, so the verdict is mixed; eligible nationalities, all fee amounts and one self-contradictory line on converting a visa-on-arrival stay remain unresolved.

Who can enter visa-free

Indonesia operates a visa exemption (Bebas Visa Kunjungan) and a visa on arrival for eligible travellers, and foreign nationals using the exemption are processed at an immigration checkpoint. The archived official sources never list which nationalities qualify. They do state that a stay permit issued from a visa on arrival or from the exemption cannot be converted into a different stay permit.

Foreigners using the visa exemption facility are processed at an immigration checkpoint (Tempat Pemeriksaan Imigrasi).[1]
A stay permit granted from a visa on arrival or a visa exemption cannot be converted into another stay permit.[1]
A request to change a visit stay permit into a limited stay permit must be filed at most 30 days before the visit permit expires.[1]
Our official archive does not name the nationalities eligible for visa-free entry, so check the immigration portal for your passport.[1][3]

Not included in this section: Newborn-child stay permit rules and detailed conversion and overstay calculations were left out.

Duration of stay

A visa on arrival gives a first stay of 30 days counted from the arrival date, extendable once for a further 30 days, and an e-Visa must be used to enter within 90 days of issue because visa validity is not the same as permitted stay. The authority block puts the maximum stay at 30–90 days depending on passport. Visitors must also be able to fund their stay and comply with visa conditions and Indonesian law.

The visa on arrival gives a first stay permit of up to 30 days from the date of arrival, extendable once for a further 30 days.[1]
An e-Visa must be used to enter Indonesia within 90 days of issue; the visa validity period differs from the permitted stay.[2]
You must be financially sufficient, comply with all visa conditions and Indonesian law, and report on your commitments within 90 days of entry.[2]

Not included in this section: Automatic issuance of an electronic limited stay permit and re-entry permit for limited-stay holders was left out.

General information

Beyond the entry visa itself, the archived material gives extension rules and financial evidence. An extension of a visit stay permit can be granted for up to 60 days at an immigration office, and visitors should be able to show recent bank statements of at least USD 2,000. Most of the remaining archived text concerns long-stay investor, work and family permits that do not apply to visitors.

Required documents

The archived checklist is short and partly aimed at specific visa types. The core items for a visitor are a passport valid for at least six months, proof of living expenses of at least USD 2,000, a recent colour photograph and a travel itinerary. Travellers without a national passport face extra documents.
