Kazakhstan passport holders can get a Visa on Arrival (VoA) for Indonesia. As of 2026, you can get this visa at major airports and seaports — no need to apply in advance. The VoA costs 500,000 IDR (about $32 USD) and is valid for 30 days.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Kazakh passport holders get a 30-day visa on arrival at major Indonesian airports (CGK, DPS, SUB, etc.) for $35 USD. Pay in cash USD at the visa-on-arrival counter before immigration. You can extend it once for another 30 days at an immigration office for about $35 USD.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. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, they will deny boarding. Your passport also needs at least two blank pages for the visa sticker and entry stamp. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for visa-on-arrival entry | Immigration officers at Jakarta and Bali routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or a ticket to your next destination ready. Airlines also check this before issuing your boarding pass. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended to have ready | Immigration rarely asks for hotel bookings, but having a printed confirmation for your first few nights speeds things up. If you're staying with friends, carry their address and phone number written down. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended to have ready | Officials can ask for proof of sufficient funds — roughly $50 USD per day of your stay. A recent bank statement or a credit card with a decent limit usually satisfies them. I've never seen anyone turned away for this, but better safe than sorry. | Recommended |
Cash is king for VoA
While some counters accept cards, having 500,000 IDR in cash (or $32 USD) saves time and avoids issues. ATMs are available after immigration but not before.
Keep your return ticket handy
Immigration officers frequently ask to see your return or onward ticket. Have a screenshot on your phone or a printed copy ready.
What happens at the border

Pay 500,000 IDR (about $32 USD) in cash. They accept Indonesian Rupiah, US Dollars, Euros, and sometimes credit cards. Keep the receipt.
3
Get your visa sticker
The officer will paste a VoA sticker into your passport and stamp it. Check the date — it's valid for 30 days from entry.
4
Proceed to immigration
After getting the VoA, go to the regular immigration queue. Present your passport with the VoA sticker, your boarding pass, and your return ticket if asked.
5
