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 at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Indonesia | Immigration officers routinely ask for a flight out of Indonesia within your 30-day visa-free stay. Have a printed or digital copy of your return or onward ticket ready — they will check it before stamping you in. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Immigration may ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. A hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address is enough. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient cash or card for your stay | Officers can ask to see you have enough money for your trip. Carry at least USD 500 in cash or have a credit card with a visible limit — showing a bank statement on your phone works too. | Recommended |
Visa-free is not extendable
If you think you might stay longer than 30 days, skip the visa-free line and go for the Visa on Arrival (VoA) at the airport. VoA costs about SGD 45 and can be extended once for another 30 days. Visa-free cannot be extended at all.
Keep your entry stamp safe
The immigration officer stamps your passport with the 'Admitted Until' date. If the stamp gets smudged or is hard to read, ask the officer to re-stamp it clearly. A damaged stamp can cause problems when you leave.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Indonesian immigration
At any international airport (Jakarta, Bali, Surabaya, etc.), follow signs to 'Foreign Passport' counters. Join the queue for visa-free entry — no payment needed.
2
Present your documents
Hand over your passport and return ticket (screenshot is fine). The officer will check your passport validity and may ask your purpose of visit. Answer briefly — 'tourism' or 'business meeting'.
3
Get your entry stamp
The officer stamps your passport with a 30-day visa-free entry. Check the stamp says 'Bebas Visa Kunjungan' (Visa-Free Visit) and note the 'Admitted Until' date. Keep the stamp clean and readable.
4
Proceed to baggage claim and customs
After immigration, collect your bags and walk through customs. There's a digital customs declaration form you can fill online before arrival — saves time.
