Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before you fly | You need an Indonesian eVisa before departure.

Approval usually comes within 3 business days, but apply at least a week before your flight to be safe.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay | Indonesia strictly enforces the 6-month passport validity rule. If your passport expires sooner, the airline will deny boarding — no exceptions. Check your passport's expiry date before booking anything. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration officers at Jakarta, Bali, and other entry points routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed copy or a screenshot ready on your phone. If you're flying in on a one-way, buy a cheap refundable ticket out of Indonesia before you arrive. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Immigration may ask where you're staying for the first few nights. Have a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and phone number. A screenshot of your booking app works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Officers rarely ask, but if they do, show a bank statement or a credit card with a reasonable limit. Aim for at least $1,000 USD equivalent in your account or available credit. A screenshot of your banking app is enough. | Recommended |
Passport validity is critical
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you enter Indonesia. Airlines check this before boarding — if it's less, you won't be allowed to fly.
eVisa is not extendable
The eVisa for Bangladeshi passport holders cannot be extended. Plan your trip to fit within the allowed stay. If you overstay, you'll face fines of IDR 1,000,000 per day.
