Q: Who needs the Indonesia Tourist Visa?

Most foreign nationals who are not visa-exempt and plan to travel to Indonesia for tourism need the eVisa. Transit passengers staying airside are exempt. For embassy guidance see Embassy — Visit Visa and check Indonesia visa information before you apply.

Q: What happens if I arrive without a valid visa?

Arriving without a required visa may result in denied boarding by airlines or refusal of entry by Indonesian immigration, causing delays and possible return at your own cost. Airlines often check eVisa documentation at departure; avoid last-minute issues by completing the application in advance via Apply for your eVisa .

Q: Can I edit or correct my application after submission?

Minor corrections may be possible before the application is processed, but changes after approval require contact with the issuing authority. If you spot an error, contact DoVisa support immediately to advise on next steps and avoid travel disruptions.

Q: Is a departure Indonesia Tourist Visa also required?

No — the Indonesia Tourist Visa is an entry visa only. There is no separate outbound 'departure visa' required. Complete any required e-Arrival Card within the published window before departure; check official guidance at Ministry of Foreign Affairs .

Q: Which airports and seaports accept this document?

Present your eVisa PDF at immigration at designated international entry points. Major international airports include Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK) , Ngurah Rai / I Gusti Ngurah Rai (DPS) , Juanda International Airport (SUB) , and Kualanamu International Airport (KNO) . Several seaports and land checkpoints also accept eVisas; check the official entry points list before travel.

Q: Can I apply from my mobile phone?

Yes. The official eVisa portal and DoVisa mobile experience support applications on phones and tablets. Prepare digital copies of your passport photo and travel details, then follow the prompts; for faster processing choose Rush or Super Rush when available and start your application .

Q: How far in advance should I apply?

What Is the Indonesia Tourist Visa?

The Indonesia Tourist Visa is an electronic tourist visa (eVisa) issued by Indonesia's Directorate General of Immigration for foreign nationals travelling to Indonesia for leisure. Launched through the official eVisa portal to modernize visa processing, this online visa replaces many embassy-only application routes and streamlines tourist entry for single-entry stays. The government portal at evisa.imigrasi.go.id is the authoritative application system for this visa.

Applicants submit passport data, a passport-style photo, travel itinerary, and accommodation information via the official eVisa website or via authorized providers like DoVisa who offer guided completion, document checks, and optional denial protection. After approval you receive an email confirmation and a printable visa PDF — carry this to present to immigration on arrival. Processing times vary by speed option; DoVisa offers Standard, Rush, and Super Rush services aligned with the official submission timeline.

Unlike arrival permits such as the Visa on Arrival (VoA), the Tourist eVisa is a pre-issued single-entry visa that must be obtained before travel in most cases. It grants entry subject to immigration inspection and is valid for the period stated on the visa. Recent travel updates include the nationwide rollout of the All-Indonesia e-Arrival Card system (submitted within 72 hours before travel) which replaced older paper customs and health forms in late 2025; check official travel advisories for the latest rules.

Key facts: single-entry eVisa valid 90 days, maximum stay 60 days per visit; passport must be valid for at least six months on arrival. Review Indonesia visa information for broader guidance and consult the official portal at evisa.imigrasi.go.id to start. When you're ready, Apply now — DoVisa will guide you through each step.

Indonesia Entry Requirements & Restrictions

Passport Validity

Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of arrival and have at least one blank page for the entry stamp. See the official eVisa portal at evisa.imigrasi.go.id.

Itinerary, Accommodation & Funds

You must show a confirmed return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation (hotel or host booking), and evidence of sufficient funds for your stay if requested by immigration.

Vaccination & Health Advice

Health guidance from the CDC recommends being up to date on measles (MMR) and routine vaccines. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required only if arriving from a country with yellow fever risk. See CDC — Indonesia.

Customs & Import Restrictions

Indonesia enforces restrictions on imports and personal goods — recent regulations (Permendag 47/2025) updated prohibited import lists effective January 1, 2026. Expect stricter controls on bulk commercial goods, certain electronics and large shipments; declare items when required and check customs rules at entry airports.

Travel Insurance & Medical Care

Travel insurance is recommended. Medical facilities vary across the archipelago — emergency evacuation to major hubs may be necessary for serious care. Carry policy details and emergency contacts.

Travel Tips for Indonesia Visitors

Indonesia is an enormous archipelago spanning three time zones with diverse cultures, from Jakarta and Bali to eastern provinces. Main international airports used by eVisa travellers include Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK) near Jakarta, Ngurah Rai / I Gusti Ngurah Rai (DPS) in Bali, Juanda International Airport (SUB) in Surabaya, and Kualanamu International Airport (KNO) in Medan. Transfers between islands often require domestic flights or ferries — plan connections carefully.

Currency: Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). US dollars (USD) are widely accepted in major tourist areas and for some services, but carry local cash for smaller islands.
Language: Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) is the official language; English is commonly spoken in tourism hubs but less so in rural areas.
Time zones: Indonesia spans GMT+7 to GMT+9; most visitors operate on GMT+7 (Western Indonesia Time).
Best time to visit: April to October (dry season) for most islands; check regional weather for eastern provinces.
Bali tourist tax & arrival card: Be aware of new local tourist levies in some areas and complete the All-Indonesia e-Arrival Card within 72 hours before travel.
Cultural tips: Dress modestly at religious sites, remove shoes when entering temples or homes, and be respectful of local customs.
Airport transfers: Allow ample time for inter-island connections; domestic flights can be subject to delays during peak seasons.
Protect your belongings: Petty theft can occur in crowded areas — use hotel safes and be cautious with valuables on beaches and public transport.
