Romanian passport holders can get a Visa on Arrival (VoA) for tourism, business, or transit when landing at major Indonesian airports and seaports. The VoA costs 500,000 IDR (about €30) and is valid for 30 days, extendable once for another 30 days. As of 2026, this is the standard entry method for short stays.

|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival application Visa on arrival | You get a 30-day visa on arrival at major Indonesian airports and seaports. Pay $35 USD in cash at the visa-on-arrival counter before immigration. Have your return ticket and hotel booking ready — officers at Jakarta and Bali check both.Check visa policy | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date | Indonesian immigration strictly enforces the 6-month passport validity rule. If your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding by the airline. No exceptions. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for visa on arrival | Immigration officers at Jakarta, Bali, and other entry points routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return or onward ticket ready. Airlines also check this before boarding. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Immigration may ask for your hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host. Have a printed copy or a clear digital version on your phone. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient funds for your stay | Officers can ask to see proof you have enough money for your trip. Carry at least $1,000 USD in cash or have a bank statement showing available funds. | Recommended |
Cash is king for VoA payment
Always carry 500,000 IDR in cash (small bills). While some airports accept cards, card machines can be down or have long queues. Cash gets you through faster.
VoA is for tourism and business only
You cannot work or volunteer on a VoA. If you plan to work, study, or do long-term volunteering, you need a proper work or social visa arranged before travel.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at the VoA counter
After deplaning, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' or 'Immigration'. At major airports like Jakarta (CGK), Bali (DPS), or Surabaya (SUB), there are dedicated counters. Join the queue and present your passport and return ticket.
2
Pay the fee and get your sticker
Hand over 500,000 IDR (or equivalent in USD/EUR). The officer will issue a receipt and affix the VoA sticker into your passport. Keep the receipt — you'll need it for the extension if you stay longer.
3
Proceed to immigration clearance
With the sticker in your passport, move to the immigration officer's booth. They'll stamp your passport with the entry date and 30-day validity. You're now cleared to enter.
4
Collect luggage and exit
Grab your bags and head to customs. If you have nothing to declare, use the green channel. Keep your passport and boarding pass accessible for random checks.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, you can extend it once for another 30 days. Visit any 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 your passport, the original VoA receipt, a passport photo, and proof of onward travel.
For stays over 60 days, you need a different visa — either a Social Visa (B-211) or a Business Visa, which you must apply for at an Indonesian embassy before travel. These allow 60 days extendable up to 180 days. VoA cannot be extended beyond 60 days total.
VoA is available at all major international airports (Jakarta, Bali, Surabaya, Medan, Makassar, Yogyakarta, Lombok, etc.) and several seaports. Smaller airports like Labuan Bajo (LBJ) also offer VoA. Check the official Indonesian immigration website for the full list.
Cash is king. Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) is easiest. Major airports also accept euros, US dollars, and sometimes credit cards, but exchange rates may be poor. Always carry 500,000 IDR in cash to avoid hassle.
Yes — an onward ticket to any destination outside Indonesia is fine. It doesn't have to be a return to Romania. Immigration just wants proof you'll leave within 30 days.
No. The VoA is tied to the passport you used to enter. If you lose your passport or get a new one, you must visit an immigration office to get a replacement sticker — this costs extra and takes time.
Overstays are fined 1,000,000 IDR (about €60) per day, capped at 60 days. You'll need to pay at the immigration office before departure. Serious overstays (over 60 days) can lead to detention and deportation.
