Apply for Indonesia eVisaB211A Social/Tourism visa. Apply at least 7 days before travel.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival application Visa on arrival | Pay the visa fee in cash (USD or IDR) at the Visa on Arrival counter after landing at major airports like Jakarta, Bali, or Surabaya. The fee is 500,000 IDR (roughly $35 USD) for a 30-day stay. Have the exact amount ready — the counters don't always have change.Apply online | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date | Indonesia strictly enforces the 6-month passport validity rule. If your passport expires sooner, the airline will deny boarding at check-in. No exceptions — I've seen people turned away at Madrid-Barajas for this. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Indonesia | Immigration officers at Jakarta and Bali routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. If you don't have one, they'll direct you to a ticket counter inside the airport to buy one on the spot. A cheap onward flight to Kuala Lumpur or Singapore works. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Immigration rarely asks for it, but airlines sometimes check at check-in. Have a printed or digital hotel confirmation ready. If staying with friends, a letter of invitation with their KTP (local ID) number helps. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient cash or card for your stay | Officially you need at least $1,000 USD or equivalent per person. In practice, they almost never ask. Still, carry a credit card and some cash — ATMs in Bali and Jakarta are reliable but charge high fees. | Recommended |
Cash only at the VoA counter
The Visa on Arrival payment counter only accepts Indonesian Rupiah in cash. No euros, dollars, or cards. Bring 500,000 IDR (about €30) in cash with you. ATMs are available after baggage claim, but it's easier to have the exact amount ready.
e-VoA saves time at the airport
You can apply for an e-Visa on Arrival online at molina.imigrasi.go.id before your trip. It costs the same 500,000 IDR, but you get a QR code that lets you skip the payment counter and go straight to immigration. Processing takes 1-2 business days.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at the airport and follow 'Visa on Arrival' signs
At major airports like Jakarta (CGK), Bali (DPS), or Surabaya (SUB), follow the 'Visa on Arrival' or 'VoA' signs after deplaning. You'll see a payment counter before the immigration booths.
2
Pay the VoA fee and get your receipt
Hand over 500,000 IDR in cash. You'll receive a small receipt. Keep it safe — you'll need it at the immigration counter.
3
Queue at the immigration counter
Present your passport, the VoA receipt, and your boarding pass. The officer will stamp your passport with a 30-day stay. They may ask for your return ticket or hotel address — have them ready.
4
Collect your luggage and exit
After immigration, grab your bags from baggage claim, then proceed through customs. You're now legally in Indonesia for up to 30 days.
