Myanmar passport holders can enter Indonesia without a visa for tourism, business, or social visits. As of 2026, you get a 30-day stay that cannot be extended. Just show up at any Indonesian airport or seaport with a valid passport and an onward ticket.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay | Your passport needs at least 6 months of validity from your date of entry into Indonesia. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Indonesia | Immigration officers at Jakarta, Bali, and other airports routinely ask for a return or onward ticket within your 30-day visa-free stay. Have a printed or digital copy ready — budget airlines often check this at check-in too. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host address | Immigration may ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. A hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and phone number covers this. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | Officers can ask to see cash, cards, or bank statements showing you can support yourself. A credit card and a few hundred US dollars in cash usually satisfies them. | Recommended |
No extension possible
The 30-day visa-free entry for Myanmar passport holders cannot be extended. Mark your calendar and book your exit flight before day 30. Overstay fines are steep and non-negotiable.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Indonesia, not from your departure date. Airlines check this before boarding — if you're short, you won't fly.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare documents before departure
Check your passport validity (6+ months), print or screenshot your onward ticket and first night hotel booking. Get travel insurance and an eSIM if you want to skip airport queues.
2
Arrive at Indonesian immigration
At any international airport (Jakarta, Bali, Surabaya, etc.) or seaport, join the 'Foreign Passport' queue. Hand over your passport and boarding pass. The officer may ask for your return ticket and hotel address.
3
Receive entry stamp
The officer stamps your passport with a 30-day visa-free entry. No payment, no forms. Keep the stamp legible — you'll need it for departure.
4
Exit Indonesia within 30 days
Leave before the 30th day. Overstaying costs 1,000,000 IDR (about $65 USD) per day, payable at immigration before departure.
