Brazilian passport holders can get a Visa on Arrival (VoA) when entering Indonesia in 2026. It costs 500,000 IDR (about $32 USD) and is valid for 30 days. You can extend it once for another 30 days at any immigration office.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival (VOA) Indonesia Visa on Arrival | Brazilian passport holders can get a Visa on Arrival at major Indonesian airports and seaports. Pay the fee in USD or IDR at the VOA counter before immigration — $35 USD for 30 days. The VOA is not extendable, so plan your exit date carefully.Check VOA details | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your departure date from Indonesia | Indonesia strictly enforces the 6-month passport validity rule. If your passport expires within 6 months of your departure date, immigration will deny entry. Airlines also check this before boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of exit from Indonesia | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket at the VOA counter. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight out of Indonesia ready. A same-day booking to a neighboring country works if you're still planning your route. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Immigration may ask for your first night's hotel booking or a letter of invitation from your host. Have a printed confirmation or a clear digital copy on your phone. A simple hostel booking for the first 2 nights is enough. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | Officers can ask how you'll fund your trip. Have at least $1,000 USD in cash, a credit card, or a bank statement showing available funds. ATMs are widely available in Bali and Jakarta, but less so on remote islands. | Recommended |
Cash is king for VoA
ATMs are available after baggage claim, but the VoA counter is before immigration. Bring 500,000 IDR in cash (or equivalent USD/EUR) to avoid delays. Some counters don't give change for large bills.
Extension is straightforward but plan ahead
If you want to stay 60 days, apply for the extension at least 7 days before your first 30 days expire. Immigration offices in tourist areas like Bali are used to this — just bring your passport, a copy of your return ticket, and the fee.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, you can extend it once for another 30 days. Visit any Kantor Imigrasi (immigration office) before your first 30 days expire. The extension costs about 500,000 IDR and takes 3–5 working days. You'll need your passport, a copy of your return ticket, and a recent photo.
For stays over 60 days, you need a different visa before traveling — either a Social Visa (B-211) valid for 60 days extendable up to 180 days, or a Business Visa. Apply at an Indonesian embassy or consulate in Brazil. The VoA cannot be extended beyond 60 days total.
VoA is available at all major international airports: Ngurah Rai (Bali), Soekarno-Hatta (Jakarta), Juanda (Surabaya), Kuala Namu (Medan), and others. It's also available at major seaports like Batam and Tanjung Pinang. Check the official Indonesian immigration website for the full list.
Cash in Indonesian Rupiah is most reliable. Some counters accept US dollars or euros, but you'll get change in IDR. Credit cards are accepted at some airports but not all — don't rely on it. Bring 500,000 IDR in cash.
Yes, you need to complete the electronic customs declaration (e-CD) online at https://ecd.beacukai.go.id/ up to 48 hours before arrival. You'll get a QR code to show at customs. No health forms are currently required.
Overstaying costs 1,000,000 IDR per day (about $65 USD) — paid at immigration when you leave. For overstays longer than 60 days, you may face deportation and a ban. Always extend or leave before your visa expires.
No. VoA is strictly for tourism, transit, or short business meetings (like attending a conference). Paid work of any kind is illegal and can lead to deportation and fines. For work, you need a proper work permit (KITAS).
