Croatian passport holders can get a Visa on Arrival (VoA) when entering Indonesia in 2026. It costs 500,000 IDR (about €30) and is valid for 30 days. You can extend it once for another 30 days at any immigration office in Indonesia.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Get your visa on arrival at major Indonesian airports (CGK, DPS, SUB, etc.) and seaports. Pay $35 USD in cash (exact change) — cards are not accepted. The visa is valid for 30 days and cannot be extended, so plan your exit date carefully.Check visa policy | 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, you will be denied boarding by the airline and turned away at immigration. No exceptions. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for visa on arrival | Immigration officers at Jakarta and Bali routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return or onward ticket ready. Airlines also check this before issuing your boarding pass. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Immigration may ask for your hotel address or a letter of invitation from your host. Have a printed booking confirmation or a digital copy on your phone. A simple hostel booking works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds At least $1,000 USD or equivalent | Officers occasionally ask to see proof of sufficient funds for your stay. A bank statement, credit card, or cash in hand works. $1,000 USD equivalent is the informal threshold. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strict
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your entry date. Airlines check this before boarding — if you're short, you won't fly.
Keep your VoA receipt
The small receipt you get when paying for the VoA is your proof of payment. You'll need it when you leave Indonesia, so keep it with your passport.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at the VoA counter
After deplaning, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' or 'Immigration'. At major airports like Bali (DPS) or Jakarta (CGK), there are dedicated counters. Pay 500,000 IDR in cash or by card. You'll get a visa sticker and a small receipt.
2
Proceed to immigration
Hand over your passport with the VoA sticker, your boarding pass, and the receipt. The officer may ask for your return ticket or accommodation. Answer clearly. They'll stamp you in for 30 days.
3
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, grab your bags from the carousel, then go through customs. If you have nothing to declare, use the green channel.
