Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Indonesia eVisa (B211A) | Apply for an Indonesia eVisa at molina.imigrasi.go.id before departure. The B211A visa covers tourism, social visits, and business meetings — processing takes 2–5 working days. Print the eVisa approval letter and carry it with your passport.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid at least 6 months beyond arrival | Indonesia strictly enforces the 6-month passport validity rule — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding in Tel Aviv or denied entry at Jakarta. Airlines check this at check-in, so verify your expiry date before booking. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers at Soekarno-Hatta and Ngurah Rai airports always ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed copy or a screenshot ready — they may also check that the ticket is within the eVisa validity period. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel bookings or invitation letter | Immigration may ask for your first night's hotel booking or a sponsor's address. Have a printed confirmation or a screenshot on your phone — a simple Booking.com reservation works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statement or cash | Officers occasionally ask for proof of sufficient funds — around $1,000 USD or equivalent in IDR. A recent bank statement or a stack of cash in your wallet is enough to satisfy them. | Recommended |
eVisa is the only option for Israeli passport holders
There is no Visa on Arrival for Israeli citizens. You must obtain an eVisa before traveling. Apply early to avoid delays.
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Indonesian immigration counts 6 months from your arrival date, not your departure. If your passport expires sooner, you will be refused entry.
