Tunisian passport holders can get a Visa on Arrival (VoA) when landing in Indonesia. It's valid for 30 days and costs 500,000 IDR (about $32 USD). As of 2026, the process is straightforward at major airports like Jakarta, Bali, and Surabaya.
Apply for Indonesia eVisaB211A Social/Tourism visa. Apply at least 7 days before travel.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Tunisian passport holders can get a 30-day visa on arrival at major Indonesian airports (Jakarta, Bali, Surabaya, Medan) and seaports. Pay $35 USD in cash at the 'Visa on Arrival' counter before immigration. You cannot extend this visa — if you want to stay longer, apply for a B211 social visa beforehand.Apply online | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date | Indonesia strictly enforces the 6-month validity rule. If your passport expires sooner, the airline won't let you board. No exceptions at immigration — I've seen people sent back to the check-in counter at CGK. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Indonesia | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket at the visa-on-arrival counter. Have a printed or digital copy of your outbound flight booking ready. Airlines also check this before issuing your boarding pass. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Immigration may ask for your hotel address or a local contact's address during the visa-on-arrival process. Have a printed booking confirmation or a screenshot on your phone. I've been asked for this at Ngurah Rai (Bali) and Soekarno-Hatta (Jakarta). | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient cash or card for your stay | Officers rarely ask, but carry at least $500 USD equivalent in cash or have a credit card with available limit. ATMs are widely available in cities but unreliable on smaller islands like Lombok or Flores. | Recommended |
Cash only for VoA
The Visa on Arrival fee must be paid in cash — no credit cards, no mobile payments. Have 500,000 IDR ready in exact change. If you only have larger bills, exchange them at the airport before queuing.
Electronic customs declaration
All travelers must submit an electronic customs declaration (e-CD) before clearing customs. You can do this online up to 48 hours before arrival at https://ecd.beacukai.go.id. Save the QR code on your phone — you'll scan it at the airport.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at the VoA counter
After deplaning, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' or 'VoA Payment' before the immigration counters. At major airports like Ngurah Rai (Bali) or Soekarno-Hatta (Jakarta), there are dedicated counters. Pay the fee in cash (IDR 500,000) and receive a receipt.
2
Proceed to immigration
Hand over your passport, the VoA receipt, and your boarding pass. The officer will check your passport validity, stamp the visa, and attach a sticker. You'll also need to fill out an electronic customs declaration (e-CD) — do this online before you land or use the QR code at the airport.
3
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, collect your bags from the carousel, then proceed through customs. If you have nothing to declare, use the green channel. Keep your passport and VoA sticker safe — you'll need it when you leave.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, but only once. You can extend for another 30 days at an immigration office in Indonesia. The extension costs about 500,000 IDR and takes a few days. You must apply before the first 30 days expire. Overstaying costs 1,000,000 IDR per day.
You'll need a different visa, like a Social Visa (B211A) or a Business Visa. These are applied for before travel through an Indonesian embassy or a sponsor. They allow stays up to 60 or 180 days and can be extended multiple times.
No. VoA is available at major international airports: Jakarta (CGK), Bali (DPS), Surabaya (SUB), Medan (KNO), Makassar (UPG), and a few others. If you fly into a smaller airport, you may need a visa in advance. Check the official Indonesian immigration website for the full list.
There are currency exchange counters at the airport, but they may have long queues. It's better to arrive with 500,000 IDR in cash. Some airports also accept USD or EUR, but the exchange rate may be poor. Avoid using ATMs before immigration — they may not be available.
Only if you're arriving from a country with yellow fever (e.g., parts of Africa or South America). Tunisia is not on that list, so you don't need it. But if you've recently traveled to a yellow fever zone, bring your vaccination certificate.
Yes, if you have an eSIM from a provider like Airalo or a local SIM from a kiosk. Airalo eSIMs activate as soon as you connect to a local network. If you buy a physical SIM at the airport, you'll need to show your passport and fill out a registration form.
You'll be fined 1,000,000 IDR (about $65 USD) per day of overstay, payable at the immigration office before departure. Overstays longer than 60 days can lead to deportation and a ban. Don't risk it — set a reminder to extend or leave on time.
