Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Get your visa on arrival at Indonesian airports (CGK, DPS, SUB, etc.) — costs IDR 500,000 (about $32 USD) and allows 30 days. Pay in cash (USD, EUR, or IDR) at the visa-on-arrival counter before immigration. Have your return ticket and hotel booking ready — officers at Ngurah Rai (Bali) and Soekarno-Hatta (Jakarta) routinely ask for both.Apply online | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date | Indonesian immigration strictly enforces the 6-month validity rule — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry at the border. Check your passport's expiry date before booking flights. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for visa on arrival | Immigration officers at all Indonesian airports ask for proof of onward travel — a return flight or a ticket to your next destination. Airlines also check this before issuing a boarding pass. Have a printed or digital copy ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Immigration officers often ask for a hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Indonesia. Have a printed confirmation or a digital copy on your phone. If staying with friends, ask them to write a simple invitation letter with their address and contact number. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Cash or bank statement | Officers may ask to see proof you can support yourself during your stay — carry at least $1,000 USD in cash or have a bank statement showing sufficient funds. ATMs are widely available in cities but less so in remote areas. | Recommended |
Cash only for VoA fee
Most Visa on Arrival counters only accept cash — no credit or debit cards. Bring 500,000 IDR or $35 USD in exact change to avoid delays. ATMs are available after immigration, but you'll need cash before that point.
Extension is possible but plan ahead
You can extend your VoA once for 30 days, but you must apply before the first 30 days expire. The process takes 2–5 working days and costs about 500,000 IDR. Visit any Kantor Imigrasi (immigration office) with your passport, VoA receipt, and a passport photo.
What happens at the border

2
Pay the fee and get your visa
Hand over 500,000 IDR (or $35 USD) in cash. The officer will issue a sticker in your passport. Keep the receipt — you may need it for extension.

Proceed to passport control
After getting the VoA sticker, go to the immigration officer for stamping. They may ask your hotel address or purpose of visit. Answer briefly and clearly.

Once stamped, you're free to enter. The whole process usually takes 15–30 minutes depending on queues.
