Indonesian visa types for foreign nationals

Compare Indonesian visit, work, study, family and investor visas by purpose and check current official fees.

English edition. Official forms and source documents may be in Indonesian.

QUICK ANSWER

Choose an Indonesian visa for the activity you will actually undertake, not only for the intended stay length. A visit visa does not automatically permit work; a family visa is neither a passport nor citizenship. Check the Immigration catalogue and apply through official e-Visa.

A useful category map

Things to check carefully

  • Do not use a visit visa for work requiring work permission.
  • Visa approval does not guarantee admission; border officers assess entry conditions.

Frequently asked questions

Does marrying an Indonesian give me an Indonesian passport?
