Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on Arrival (VoA)You get the visa when you land, not before. Have the fee ready in cash. Obtain upon arrival at designated airports/seaports | Cyprus passport holders are eligible for a Visa on Arrival (VoA) for tourism, business, or transit. The fee is IDR 500,000 (approx. USD 35) payable in cash (IDR, USD, or major currencies). The VoA is valid for 30 days and is not extendable. | Required |
| Passport validityCheck your passport expiry date now. If it expires within 6 months, renew before you travel. Must be valid for at least 6 months | Your passport must have at least 6 months of remaining validity from your date of entry into Indonesia. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesThe immigration officer needs a clean page to stick the visa. Count your blank pages. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must contain at least 1 blank visa page (not the endorsement page) for the VoA sticker. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketAirlines check this before boarding. A flexible or refundable ticket is safest. Proof of departure from Indonesia | You must hold a confirmed return or onward ticket to a country other than Indonesia. The ticket must be for a departure within the VoA validity period (30 days). | Required |
| Proof of fundsNot always checked, but have a bank statement or cash ready to avoid refusal. Sufficient funds for stay | You may be asked to show proof of sufficient funds for your stay in Indonesia. A common benchmark is at least USD 1,000 or equivalent in cash, traveler's cheques, or bank statement. | Recommended |
| Arrival declaration (e-CD)Do this online before you fly. It saves time at the airport and is mandatory. Electronic Customs Declaration | All travelers must complete the Electronic Customs Declaration (e-CD) online within 3 days before arrival. The form is free and available at the official customs website. You will receive a QR code to show at customs. | Required |
| Yellow fever vaccinationOnly needed if your trip includes a stop in a country with yellow fever risk. If traveling from an endemic country | If you have traveled from or through a yellow fever endemic country within 6 days prior to arrival, you must present a valid International Certificate of Vaccination (Yellow Card). | Not required |
Cash only for VoA
The Visa on Arrival fee must be paid in Indonesian Rupiah cash. ATMs are available after immigration, but having IDR 500,000 ready saves time. US dollars or euros are not accepted.
Keep your departure card
The small card you fill out on arrival is your departure card. Don't lose it — you'll need to hand it in when you leave Indonesia. Immigration may fine you if you lose it.
