Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a hotel booking to enter Indonesia?

Yes. Since October 2025, all international travelers must complete the All Indonesia Digital Declaration before arrival, which requires entering your accommodation address in Indonesia. You must provide proof of accommodation such as a hotel booking confirmation, and you will receive a QR code to present upon arrival (source: Directorate General of Immigration, imigrasi.go.id).

What is the difference between e-VOA and a C1 visa for Indonesia?

The e-VOA (Electronic Visa on Arrival) costs IDR 500,000 (~EUR 29) and allows a 30-day stay, extendable once for another 30 days. The C1 Visit Visa costs IDR 1,000,000 (~EUR 58) and grants 60 days, extendable twice for up to 180 days total. The e-VOA can be obtained online or on arrival, while the C1 must be applied for before travel through the official portal evisa.imigrasi.go.id (source: Directorate General of Immigration).

Can I apply for an Indonesia e-VOA online before my trip?

Yes. You can apply for the Electronic Visa on Arrival (e-VOA) through the official Indonesian immigration portal at evisa.imigrasi.go.id before your departure. This is recommended to avoid long queues at the airport. Citizens of over 97 countries are eligible for the e-VOA (source: Directorate General of Immigration, evisa.imigrasi.go.id).

What accommodation proof does Indonesia accept for visa applications?

Indonesia accepts several forms of accommodation proof: a hotel booking or reservation confirmation, an invitation letter from a host in Indonesia, confirmation from an organized tour operator, or a rental agreement. For the Digital Declaration and C1 visa applications, a hotel booking confirmation in English covering your stay is the most straightforward option (source: visaguide.world, imigrasi.go.id).

Do I need a transit visa for Indonesia?

If you are transiting through an Indonesian airport and do not pass through immigration or change terminals, you do not need a transit visa. However, if you exit the transit area or enter Indonesia even briefly, you will need a Visa on Arrival (e-VOA). Note that if you transit through Bali, the Bali Tourist Tax may apply (source: Directorate General of Immigration).

How long must my passport be valid to visit Indonesia?

Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned departure date from Indonesia. For the D1 multiple-entry visa, at least 18 months of validity is recommended. Ensure your passport has at least two blank pages for entry and exit stamps (source: Directorate General of Immigration, imigrasi.go.id).

Can I extend my Indonesia visa on arrival?

Yes. The e-VOA (B1 visa) can be extended once for an additional 30 days, giving a maximum stay of 60 days. As of mid-2025, all visa extensions require an in-person visit to a local immigration office for fingerprinting and photograph procedures. The extension costs an additional IDR 500,000 (~EUR 29) (source: Directorate General of Immigration).
