Mozambican passport holders can get a Visa on Arrival (VoA) when entering Indonesia in 2026. This is the standard option for tourism, business, and social visits, valid for up to 30 days. You pay the fee and get the visa stamped at the airport immigration counter before collecting your bags.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Mozambican passport holders can get a visa on arrival at major Indonesian airports and seaports. Pay the visa fee in cash (USD) at the counter before immigration — the cost is $35 USD for 30 days. Have your return ticket and hotel booking printed out, as the visa officer may ask to see them before issuing the sticker.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. If your passport expires sooner, the airline will deny boarding in Maputo or Johannesburg. Carry a photocopy of the bio page separately from your passport. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for visa on arrival | Immigration officers at Jakarta, Bali, and Surabaya routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed copy of your return flight or a ticket to your next destination. A same-day booking confirmation on your phone works, but a paper copy avoids delays. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Bring a printed hotel confirmation for your entire stay. If staying with friends or family, have a signed invitation letter with their KTP (Indonesian ID) number and address. Immigration may ask for this during the visa-on-arrival interview. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Cash or bank statement | Carry at least $1,000 USD in cash or have a bank statement showing sufficient balance. Immigration officers rarely ask, but the visa-on-arrival rules technically require proof of funds for the duration of stay. ATMs are widely available in cities but not at remote islands. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date you enter Indonesia. Airlines check this before you board — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding, not just entry.
VoA is single-entry only
The Visa on Arrival is valid for one entry. If you leave Indonesia (even for a day trip to Singapore or Malaysia), you'll need a new VoA when you return. For multiple entries, apply for a Multiple Entry Visa at an Indonesian embassy before you travel.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at immigration counter
After deplaning, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' or 'Immigration'. At major airports like Jakarta (CGK) or Bali (DPS), there are dedicated counters. Join the queue, hand over your passport and return ticket if asked.
2
Pay the VoA fee
The officer will tell you the fee (500,000 IDR). Pay in cash (IDR preferred) or by card. Keep the receipt — you may need it for extension later.
3
Get your visa sticker and entry stamp
The officer will affix a VoA sticker in your passport and stamp the entry date. Check the stamp says '30 days' — if it says something else, ask immediately.
4
Collect baggage and exit
After immigration, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. You're now legally in Indonesia for up to 30 days.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, you can extend once for another 30 days (total 60 days). Apply at an immigration office (Kantor Imigrasi) in Indonesia before your first 30 days expire. The extension costs about 500,000 IDR and takes 3–5 working days. You'll need a sponsor letter (usually from your hotel), a copy of your passport, and the original VoA receipt.
Most international airports in Indonesia offer VoA, but smaller ones (like Lombok, Yogyakarta, or Medan) may have limited cash options. Always carry enough IDR or USD. If you're flying into a very remote airport, check with your airline beforehand.
Yes, at major airports (Jakarta, Bali, Surabaya) you can pay by Visa or Mastercard. But smaller airports may only accept cash. Have 500,000 IDR in cash as a backup.
A digital copy (screenshot or email) is fine. Immigration officers usually just glance at it. But if your phone battery dies, you'll be stuck — save a screenshot and also keep a printed copy in your bag.
Overstaying costs 1,000,000 IDR (about $65 USD) per day, payable at immigration when you leave. If you overstay more than 60 days, you may face deportation and a ban. Don't risk it — extend on time or leave before day 30.
No. VoA is strictly for tourism, transit, business meetings, or social visits. Any paid work (including remote work for a foreign company if you're physically in Indonesia) is technically illegal. For work, you need a proper work visa (KITAS).
Yes, Indonesia now uses an online customs declaration (e-CD) that you can fill out before arrival. It's free and takes 2 minutes. Submit it at https://ecd.beacukai.go.id and save the QR code. You'll show it at customs after baggage claim.
