Austrian passport holders can get a Visa on Arrival (VoA) when landing in Indonesia in 2026. It costs 500,000 IDR (about €30) and is valid for 30 days. You can extend it once for another 30 days at any immigration office.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival application Visa on arrival | Get your visa on arrival at major Indonesian airports and seaports. Pay the fee in USD or IDR cash — $35 USD for 30 days. Have your return ticket and hotel booking printed out; immigration officers at Jakarta and Bali routinely ask to see both before stamping your passport.Apply online | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your departure date from Indonesia | Your passport needs at least two blank pages and six months of validity from the day you leave Indonesia. Airlines at Vienna and other European hubs check this before letting you board — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Indonesia | Immigration at Soekarno-Hatta and Ngurah Rai always asks for a confirmed onward ticket. A flight out of Indonesia within 30 days of arrival works. If you plan to overland to Timor-Leste or Papua New Guinea, have a bus or ferry booking ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or letter of invitation | Print your hotel confirmation for the first few nights. If staying with friends, have them send you a signed letter with their KTP (Indonesian ID) number. Officers at Bali airport are particularly strict about this — they have turned people away for not having a clear place to stay. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Cash, card, or bank statement | Carry at least $1,000 USD in cash or have a bank statement showing that balance. Immigration rarely checks, but if they suspect you cannot support yourself, they can deny entry. ATMs are plentiful in cities but unreliable on remote islands. | Recommended |
Cash is king at VoA counters
Many VoA counters only accept cash. Bring 500,000 IDR in small bills, or have USD/EUR ready. ATMs are available after immigration, but you'll need the visa first.
VoA is extendable — but plan ahead
You can extend your VoA once for 30 days, but you must visit an immigration office in person. Start the process at least 7 days before your initial 30 days expire. The extension costs around 500,000 IDR.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at the airport
After disembarking, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' counters. Major airports like Bali (DPS), Jakarta (CGK), and Lombok (LOP) have dedicated VoA counters. Have your passport, return ticket, and payment ready.
2
Pay and get the visa sticker
Hand over your passport and pay 500,000 IDR (cash only at most counters, but some accept credit cards). The officer will affix a VoA sticker and stamp your passport. Keep the receipt.
3
Proceed to immigration
Join the 'Foreign Passport' queue. Present your passport with the VoA sticker, your boarding pass, and your return ticket if asked. The officer will check and stamp you in.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, collect your bags from the carousel, then proceed through customs. Fill out the electronic customs declaration (e-CD) online before you arrive to save time.
