Indonesia Visa Policy

Indonesia has a visa policy spells out the entry requirements for foreign citizens coming into the country for short or longer-term visits. Most visitors must obtain visas before their trip unless they are from visa-exempt countries. Visa-exempt and non-visa-exempt visitors must hold passports with at least six months of validity and a return ticket to their base. However, under special cases, persons with passports with less than six months' validity may be accepted if the applicant is coming as a business visitor. Apart from the above documents, the immigration officer on duty at the entry point may ask the visitor to produce proof of funds documents and a hotel reservation.

Currently, there are a few countries on the visa-exempt list, and if you are from any of them, you can visit without a visa and stay for up to 30 days maximum. The majority of the visa-free countries are fellow ASEAN countries, including the island of Timor Leste. 

Visa-free visitors may enter Indonesia through approved border crossings, seaports, or airports.

Electronic Visa On Arrival

Indonesia's visa on arrival is slightly different from other nations. This entry document is issued by the Directorate of Immigration and is designed for foreigners without visa-free entry. It is available to nationals from countries on the eligibility list but with an application fee. Holders can stay in the country for up to 30 days but extend it once for 30 days at any designated entry point.

To avail of this electronic visa on arrival or eVOA, you must fill out an application form and submit it to get the approval to visit the country where you will be issued the actual visa. Furthermore, there are two types of electronic visas on arrival; the e VOA which is for business, tourism, and transit, and the Visitor visa, which is for tourism only.

Transit Travelers

Transit travelers heading to another country may switch flights at designated Indonesian airports but with conditions. Those traveling through Soekarno Hatta Airport who will spend less than 24 hours waiting for their flight don't need transit visas. For other international airports in the country, the visa-free waiting time is 8 hours. Also, travelers switching terminals through Ngurah Rai International Airport or Soekarno Hatta International Airport need visas unless they are passport holders of visa-exempt countries.

Key Information About Indonesia eVOA/Visitor Visa

Not For Employment: The eVOA or Visitor Visa is not for employment or long-term commitment in Indonesia. You are not allowed to seek or engage in any kind of work to earn income during your stay. If you wish to work in Indonesia, visit the nearest embassy or consulate to apply for a work visa.

Extend Only Once: This eVOA or Visitor visa can only be extended once, and this must be done before your visa expires. Waiting until after expiration is prohibited as that will mean that you are living in the country illegally. Extension applications should be forwarded to the nearest Directorate of Immigration. Also, successful applicants will have their visas extended by 30 days maximum.

Single Entry Feature: Your online visa can only be used once to enter Indonesia because it is a single-entry document. Once you leave the country, you cannot use it again, even if it is still valid. Also, note that the visa expires if the passport it is attached to expires.

Apply In Advance: Always apply for it at least three days before your trip. The Directorate of Immigration takes three days maximum to process applications, but you may receive yours sooner to be safe; an earlier application is always best.

Use The Same Passport: Always travel with the same passport used for your application, not a different one. Be informed that the eVOA is linked to the passport number, so should you show up at the point of entry with a different passport, the immigration officers will deny you entry.
