Hungarian passport holders can get a Visa on Arrival (VoA) for Indonesia in 2026. It allows a stay of up to 30 days and is issued at major airports and seaports. You'll pay the fee in cash (USD or IDR) and need a few documents ready.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival application Visa on arrival | Get your visa on arrival at any major Indonesian airport or seaport. Pay the fee in USD or IDR cash — $35 USD for 30 days. Have your return ticket and hotel booking printed out, as the visa officer may ask to see both before issuing the sticker.Apply online | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay | Your Hungarian passport needs at least 6 months of remaining validity from your date of entry. Airlines check this at check-in and won't let you board if it's close. No blank page requirement for the visa-on-arrival sticker. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for visa on arrival | Immigration officers at Jakarta, Bali, and other entry points always ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed copy or show it on your phone. If you're flying out to a third country, that works too. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended to have ready | Hotel bookings or an invitation letter from a host help speed things up. Officers at Ngurah Rai (Bali) sometimes ask for the first night's booking before stamping the visa-on-arrival. Have a printed copy or screenshot. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended to have ready | Carry at least $1,000 USD in cash or show a bank statement. Immigration rarely asks, but if you look like you're traveling on a shoestring, they might. ATMs are everywhere in tourist areas. | Recommended |
Cash is king at VoA counters
Card machines can be unreliable. Bring enough Indonesian Rupiah or US dollars in cash to cover the fee. Have small bills — counters may not have change for large notes.
eSIM saves time at the airport
Skip the SIM card queue by installing an Airalo eSIM before you fly. It activates as soon as you land, so you have data immediately for maps, ride-hailing, and messaging.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, you can extend it once for another 30 days. Visit an Indonesian immigration office (Kantor Imigrasi) before your initial 30 days expire. The extension costs about IDR 500,000 and takes a few days to process. You'll need a passport photo and a sponsor letter from your hotel or host.
For stays over 60 days, apply for a Social Visa (B-211) before you travel. This requires a sponsor in Indonesia and is valid for 60 days, extendable up to 180 days. Apply at an Indonesian embassy in Hungary.
VoA is available at most major international airports: Jakarta (CGK), Bali (DPS), Surabaya (SUB), Medan (KNO), Yogyakarta (YIA), and several others. It's also available at major seaports like Batam and Tanjung Pinang. Check the latest list on the Indonesian immigration website.
Cash is most reliable — Indonesian Rupiah (IDR 500,000) or US dollars (around $35). Some counters accept credit cards, but card machines can be down. Always carry cash to avoid delays.
No, yellow fever is not required for Hungary passport holders entering Indonesia. However, if you've recently traveled to a yellow fever endemic country, you may need proof of vaccination. Check current health requirements before travel.
No. The VoA is strictly for tourism, transit, or short business meetings (like attending a conference). Any paid work requires a proper work visa. Working on a VoA can lead to deportation and a ban from re-entering Indonesia.
Overstaying costs IDR 1,000,000 per day (about $65). You'll pay at immigration before leaving. Overstays longer than 60 days can result in a fine, detention, or a ban. Always extend or leave before your visa expires.
