Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your departure date from Indonesia | Your passport needs at least two blank pages for entry and exit stamps. Airlines at Bogota and Medellin check this before boarding — they'll deny you if you're short on pages or validity. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Indonesia within 30 days | Immigration at Jakarta and Bali asks for this every time. Have a printed or digital copy of your outbound flight — they'll deny entry if you can't show one. A bus or ferry ticket to a neighboring country also works. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation letter | Immigration officers rarely ask, but budget airlines like AirAsia and Lion Air sometimes check at check-in. Have a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and phone number. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds At least $1,000 USD or equivalent | Officially you need to show enough for your stay — $1,000 USD in cash, card, or bank statement covers it. In practice, they almost never ask, but carry a card with a decent balance just in case. | Recommended |
No extension possible
The 30-day visa-free stay cannot be extended. If you overstay, you'll be fined 1,000,000 IDR per day. Plan your exit date carefully.
Keep your passport stamp safe
The entry stamp shows your allowed stay. Take a photo of it. You'll need it when leaving Indonesia.
What happens at the border
