eVisa and Online Application Options

e-Visa Available

Indonesia offers an online eVisa (B211A social/tourist visa) for eligible nationalities. The eVisa allows a 60-day stay, extendable up to 4 times. It is processed through the official Indonesian immigration portal (molina.imigrasi.go.id). The VOA is also available on arrival at major international airports including Bali (Ngurah Rai), Jakarta (Soekarno-Hatta), and others.

Required Documents at Entry

All travelers entering Indonesia must meet standard entry requirements regardless of visa status. Immigration officers have authority to deny entry if these requirements are not met, even to visa-free travelers.

Passport Validity

Your passport must be valid for 6 months beyond the intended date of entry into Indonesia. Airlines and immigration strictly enforce this requirement. Learn more about passport validity rules.

Proof of Funds

You must demonstrate sufficient financial resources to support your stay. Acceptable proof of funds includes bank statements, credit cards, cash, travelers checks, or sponsorship letters.

Onward Travel

Proof of onward travel is required, either a return ticket or a ticket to your next destination. This proves you intend to leave before your authorized stay expires.

Length of Stay Rules

Visa on Arrival (VOA) permits a 30-day stay, extendable once for another 30 days at an Indonesian immigration office. Visa-free travelers are typically permitted 30 days with no extension. The B211A eVisa allows 60 days with extensions available.

Extensions beyond initial authorized stays may be possible but are not guaranteed. Extension applications must be submitted well before your current stay expires and typically require justification, additional documentation, and fees. Overstaying your authorized period results in serious penalties and complications for future travel.

Overstay Penalties

Serious Consequences

Overstaying in Indonesia results in a fine of IDR 1,000,000 (approximately USD 65) per day of overstay. Travelers who exceed 60 days overstay face detention and deportation. Entry bans may be imposed for serious or repeat violations. All fines must be paid before departure.

Never overstay your authorized period. Even brief overstays create permanent records that affect all future international travel. If you need to extend your stay, apply for an extension before your current authorization expires.
