| Valid passport Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond arrival | Your Algerian passport needs at least 6 months of remaining validity from your date of entry into Indonesia. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Indonesia | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward flight ticket at Jakarta and Bali airports. Have a printed copy or a screenshot of your booking ready. A ticket to any destination outside Indonesia works. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a printed hotel confirmation or an invitation letter from your host in Indonesia. Immigration rarely asks for it, but having it ready avoids delays if they do. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show sufficient cash or bank statement | Have at least $1,000 USD in cash or a recent bank statement showing available funds. Immigration officers may ask to see proof you can support yourself during your stay. | Recommended |
Passport validity is critical
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date. Airlines check this before boarding — if it's less, you won't be allowed to fly.
Keep digital copies of everything
Save your eVisa PDF, flight booking, and hotel confirmation on your phone. Also email them to yourself as a backup. Immigration officers may ask to see them at the counter.
