Luxembourg passport holders can enter Indonesia without a visa for tourism, business, or social visits for up to 30 days. This visa-free entry is valid until the end of 2026 and cannot be extended or converted to another visa type.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Apply at the airport upon arrival | Luxembourg passport holders can get a Visa on Arrival (VOA) at major Indonesian airports like Jakarta, Bali, and Surabaya. Pay $35 USD in cash at the VOA counter before immigration. The VOA is valid for 30 days and cannot be extended.Apply online | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay | Your passport needs at least 6 months of validity remaining from your date of entry into Indonesia. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for visa on arrival | Immigration officers in Indonesia routinely ask for proof of a return or onward flight within 30 days. Have a printed or digital copy of your 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 reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Indonesia. Have a printed or digital copy of your booking confirmation ready to show. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient cash or bank statement | Officers can request proof you have enough money for your stay — around $1,000 USD equivalent in cash, traveler's checks, or a recent bank statement. ATMs are widely available in cities but carry some cash for the VOA fee. | Recommended |
Visa-free cannot be extended
The 30-day visa-free entry for Luxembourg passport holders is final. If you think you might need more time, get a Visa on Arrival (VoA) at the airport instead — it costs 500,000 IDR and can be extended once for another 30 days.
Keep your arrival card safe
When you enter Indonesia, you'll receive a small arrival card (usually stapled into your passport). Do not lose it — you must hand it back when you leave. If you lose it, you'll have to pay a fine at the airport.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Indonesian Airport
You will land at one of Indonesia's international airports (e.g., Ngurah Rai Bali, Soekarno-Hatta Jakarta, or Kuala Namu Medan). Follow signs to 'Immigration' or 'Foreign Passport Holders'.
2
Queue at Visa-Free Counter
Look for the counter marked 'Visa Free' or 'Bebas Visa Kunjungan'. Do not go to the Visa on Arrival counter unless you want to pay for a longer stay.
3
Present Documents to Officer
Hand over your passport, return ticket (printed or on phone), and accommodation confirmation. The officer may ask a few questions (purpose of visit, length of stay). Answer clearly and politely.
4
Get Entry Stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with a 30-day visa-free entry. Check the stamp before leaving the counter to ensure the date is correct. You will also receive a small arrival card (keep it safe — you'll need it when leaving).
5
Proceed to Baggage Claim and Customs
After immigration, collect your luggage and go through customs. You may be asked to fill out a customs declaration form (usually provided on the plane).

Frequently asked questions
No. The visa-free entry for Luxembourg passport holders is strictly 30 days and cannot be extended, converted, or renewed. If you need to stay longer, you must apply for a Visa on Arrival (VoA) or a tourist visa before travel. VoA costs 500,000 IDR (about $35 USD) and can be extended once for another 30 days at an immigration office.
You have two options: (1) Get a Visa on Arrival (VoA) at the airport for 500,000 IDR — this gives you 30 days and can be extended once for another 30 days at an immigration office. (2) Apply for a B211A tourist visa from an Indonesian embassy before you travel — this gives you 60 days and can be extended up to 4 times.
No. As of 2026, there is no mandatory online arrival declaration for Luxembourg passport holders entering Indonesia visa-free. You will fill out a paper customs declaration form on the plane or at the airport.
Overstaying is expensive. You will be fined 1,000,000 IDR (about $70 USD) per day of overstay, payable at the immigration office before you leave. In serious cases, you may be detained, deported, and banned from re-entering Indonesia.
Yes, you can enter through any international airport (Bali, Jakarta, Medan, Surabaya, etc.) and also through certain land border crossings (e.g., Entikong on the Malaysia border). However, not all land crossings are open to visa-free entry — check with the nearest Indonesian embassy if you plan to enter overland.
Only if you are arriving from a country with yellow fever transmission (e.g., parts of Africa or South America). If you are flying directly from Luxembourg or another non-endemic country, no yellow fever vaccine is required. However, it's always a good idea to check current health advisories before travel.
No. The visa-free entry is strictly for tourism, social visits, or short business meetings (e.g., attending a conference). You cannot engage in paid work, employment, or any income-generating activity. For work, you need a proper work permit and visa.
