16 April 2025

Free Visa Entry

Depending on your passport and where you are from, there are three options to enter Indonesia that apply to most travellers who come for tourist or social purposes:

No Visa required (majority of countries – FREE entry, 30 days valid, NOT extendable)
Visa on Arrival (35US$, 30 valid for 30 days, extendable (30 more days)
Visa needed (apply abroad before arriving in Indonesia)

Passport

All visitors to Indonesia must have a passport that is valid for a minimum of six months onwards from the date of arrival.

Outbound ticket

You will also need to prove to immigration that you do not intend to stay longer than your tourist visa allows. To do this, you just need a return ticket to your home country, or an outbound ticket for your next destination after Indonesia

Free Tourist Visa

Since 2nd March 2016, tourists from 169 countries worldwide have been granted the Visa Free (or free Visa On Arrival / VOA). The visa is valid for 30 days and can be used for tourism, family visit, social visit, art and cultural, government duty, to deliver a speech or attend a seminar, international exhibitions, meetings with head office or representatives office in Indonesia, or transit. It is non-extendable.

If you are from one of the 169 countries eligible for a free VOA, you can collect your visa when you arrive at one of Indonesia’s many inbound ports or borders. Passengers from cruise ships arriving at Benoa in Bali should be aware that the immigration office at the harbour does not currently have a visa free facility. This means you still will need to apply for a Visa on Arrival.
