# Indonesian visa types for foreign nationals

**Which Indonesian visa do foreign nationals need?**

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. As of 25 September 2026, citizens of 19 countries and territories can visit visa-free for 30 days with no extension, and citizens of 97 countries and territories can use a visa on arrival (B1) costing Rp500,000 for 30 days, extendable once by 30 days.

## What you need to apply for an Indonesian visa

- A passport satisfying the validity requirement of the selected visa code.
- Purpose-of-visit documents, a sponsor if required and financial evidence for the selected code.

## How to apply for an Indonesian visa

1. **Identify your activity.** Separate tourism, non-working business visits, paid work, study, family reunion and investment.
2. **Select the code.** Compare current visa codes, requirements and sponsorship in Immigration’s catalogue.
3. **Apply through e-Visa.** Use evisa.imigrasi.go.id, match the passport exactly and upload category-specific documents.
4. **Check stay permission.** After arrival, read your individual decision for stay duration and extension conditions.

## How much it costs to apply for an Indonesian visa

Government fees under PP 45/2024 and the Immigration code pages, checked 25 September 2026: A1 visa-free visit Rp0; B1 visa on arrival Rp500,000 for 30 days, 30-day extension Rp500,000; C1 tourism Rp1,000,000 for an initial 60 days; D1 multiple entry Rp3,000,000 (one year), Rp5,000,000 (two years) or Rp10,000,000 (five years); E33G remote worker Rp7,000,000 for one year; E28C investor Rp13,000,000 for five years or Rp19,500,000 for ten. B1 is only for VoA-eligible nationalities. Check the e-Visa invoice before paying.

## A useful category map

Visit visas cover tourism and specified activities; paid work, education and family reunion have separate routes. E31A is a family route for a spouse of an Indonesian citizen, while E28B/E28C concern investment and E33G remote work.

## Visa-free visits: eligible countries and limits

The legal basis is Presidential Regulation (Perpres) 95/2024 on visa-free visits. The list was extended by Permen Imipas 10/2026, promulgated on 9 July 2026, which also revoked Permen Imipas 10/2025. As of 25 September 2026, the Immigration page lists 19 countries and territories: Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Vietnam, Suriname, Colombia, Hong Kong, Turkey, Brazil, Peru, Kazakhstan, Macau and Belarus.

Visa-free entry (code A1) gives a stay of up to 30 days for tourism, family visits, meetings or exhibitions, and transit. It cannot be extended or converted into another stay permit. Bring a passport valid for at least six months and a return or onward ticket. You can complete an electronic form at evisa.imigrasi.go.id before arrival to receive an electronic entry stamp that works at the autogates.

Singapore permanent residents are also visa-exempt, but only through specified ports in Batam, Bintan and Karimun, and for up to four days (Immigration press release, 8 October 2024). Holders of temporary or emergency passports, or travel documents that are not a national passport, cannot use visa-free entry.

## Visa on arrival and e-VoA: fees, extension and the bridging visa

The visa on arrival (code B1) is available to citizens of the 97 countries and territories listed by Immigration. The government fee is Rp500,000 for a 30-day stay (PP 45/2024). The electronic version (e-VoA) is applied for and paid by debit or credit card at evisa.imigrasi.go.id before you travel, arrives within 24 hours and is valid for 90 days from issue. A non-electronic VoA is paid at the bank counter in the airport or seaport immigration area and is used straight away.

A B1 stay can be extended once by up to 30 days, so the total is at most 60 days (Permenkumham 11/2024, Article 95). Apply no earlier than 14 days before your stay ends. e-VoA holders extend online; holders of a non-electronic VoA apply at an immigration office. The fee for a 30-day visit stay permit is Rp500,000. An application submitted and paid before your stay ends is not counted as overstay, even if the decision comes later.

A VoA stay cannot be switched directly to a KITAS. Permenkumham 11/2024, Article 94A, provides a transitional visit stay permit (often called the bridging visa) for holders of a VoA stay, an ITAS or an ITAP. It lasts up to 60 days, cannot be extended, and must be requested no later than three days before your current permit ends. An older Immigration stay-permit page still says VoA stays cannot be converted; this guide follows Permenkumham 11/2024 and the newer B1 code page. Visa-free visits are not covered.

At certain Riau Islands seaports, such as Batam Centre, Sekupang and Sri Bintan Pura, a seven-day F1 visa on arrival is also available for Rp250,000. That stay cannot be extended or converted.

## C and D visit visas: single or multiple entry

Single-entry visit visas (C codes) are applied for before travel through e-Visa. C1, for tourism including business meetings, site visits and medical activities, gives an initial 60 days that can be extended several times up to 180 days in total. The fee is Rp1,000,000, and you must attach bank statements for the last three months showing at least US$2,000. C2, for business visits, costs Rp2,000,000 (Rp1,000,000 visa plus Rp1,000,000 verification). Both are processed within five working days of payment and, according to their code pages, can be converted into an ITAS.

The D1 multiple-entry visit visa is valid for one, two or five years, costing Rp3,000,000, Rp5,000,000 or Rp10,000,000. Each arrival gives a stay of up to 60 days, extendable to 180 days in total, but it cannot be converted into an ITAS. As well as bank statements showing at least US$2,000, a CV and an itinerary, D1 requires a letter from a government body or private organisation explaining its link with you, or a letter from an Indonesian spouse or parent.

Visa validity is not the same as length of stay. A C1 visa is valid for 90 days from issue; if you do not enter within that time, you need a new visa. Kepmen Imipas M.IP-08.GR.01.01 of 2025 cut the number of visa codes from 133 to 110, so older codes still quoted on other websites may no longer exist.

## Limited-stay visas (E codes), work and arrival

Longer stays use a limited-stay visa with an E code, for example E23 for work, E31A for the spouse of an Indonesian citizen, E28 for investors and E33G for remote workers. The ITAS and re-entry permit are issued automatically when you are admitted. Example E23 fees: Rp5,250,000 for 180 days, Rp7,000,000 for one year and Rp9,500,000 for two years. E23 needs a sponsoring employer and a work permit from the manpower ministry.

The A1, B1, C1 and D1 code pages all prohibit holders from selling goods or services or receiving pay or rewards from individuals or companies in Indonesia. Article 122 of Law 6/2011 on Immigration makes it a criminal offence for a foreign national to misuse a stay permit or act outside its purpose, and for anyone who arranges or enables this.

Since 1 October 2025, every passenger arriving from abroad at an airport or seaport must complete the All Indonesia arrival declaration, which opens three days before arrival at allindonesia.imigrasi.go.id or in the app. It is not a visa. If you are going to Bali, foreign tourists must also pay the Rp150,000 levy through Love Bali, separately from any visa fee.

## 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.
- Confusing visa validity with length of stay. An e-VoA or C1 visa is valid for 90 days from issue for entry, but your stay is counted from the day you arrive.
- Entering visa-free and expecting to extend. An A1 stay cannot be extended or converted; if you may stay longer than 30 days, choose B1 or C1 from the start.
- Applying for a VoA extension on the last day without paying at once. Protection from overstay applies only if you apply and pay before your stay ends.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does marrying an Indonesian give me an Indonesian passport?

No. A foreign spouse keeps their nationality passport; residence and naturalisation are separate procedures.

### How much is the Indonesia visa on arrival in 2026?

Rp500,000 for a 30-day stay, under PP 45/2024 and the Immigration B1 code page checked on 25 September 2026. A 30-day extension costs a further Rp500,000 visit stay fee. The e-VoA is paid by debit or credit card at evisa.imigrasi.go.id; a VoA at the airport or seaport is paid at the bank counter. News reports in August 2026 mentioned a planned increase, but as of 25 September 2026 the official B1 page still shows Rp500,000, so pay the amount on your e-Visa invoice.

### Can I extend a visa on arrival?

Yes, once, by up to 30 days, giving a maximum stay of 60 days. Apply no earlier than 14 days before your stay ends and pay before it ends. e-VoA holders extend online at evisa.imigrasi.go.id; holders of a non-electronic VoA go to an immigration office. A visa-free (A1) stay cannot be extended.

### Which countries get visa-free entry to Indonesia?

As of 25 September 2026, 19 countries and territories: Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Vietnam, Suriname, Colombia, Hong Kong, Turkey, Brazil, Peru, Kazakhstan, Macau and Belarus. The stay is 30 days and cannot be extended. Turkey, Brazil, Peru, Kazakhstan, Macau and Belarus are covered by Permen Imipas 10/2026. Singapore permanent residents are visa-exempt only through specified ports in Batam, Bintan and Karimun, for up to four days.

### Can I work on a tourist visa in Indonesia?

No. The A1, B1, C1 and D1 code pages prohibit holders from receiving pay or rewards and from selling goods or services to individuals or companies in Indonesia. To work, a sponsor applies for a work visa such as E23, which requires a work permit from the manpower ministry. Misusing a stay permit is a criminal offence under Article 122 of Law 6/2011.

### What is the difference between B1 and C1?

B1 is a 30-day visa on arrival costing Rp500,000, extendable only once to 60 days in total, and only for citizens of the 97 VoA countries and territories. C1 is a visit visa applied for before travel: it gives an initial 60 days for Rp1,000,000, can be extended to 180 days in total and requires bank statements showing at least US$2,000. C1 needs no sponsor unless you are a citizen of a calling-visa country, stateless or travelling on a document that is not a national passport. A C1 stay can be converted into an ITAS.

### Can a visa on arrival be converted into a KITAS?

Not directly. Permenkumham 11/2024, Article 94A, provides a transitional visit stay permit (the bridging visa) for VoA holders, valid for up to 60 days and not extendable. You apply from inside Indonesia no later than three days before your VoA stay ends. The activities allowed during the transition are set by the Director General of Immigration. Visa-free visits are not covered.

### What is the overstay fine in Indonesia?

Rp1,000,000 per day if you overstay by less than 60 days (Law 6/2011, Article 78, and PP 45/2024). Beyond 60 days, or if the charge is not paid, you are deported and banned from re-entry. Apply and pay for an extension before your stay ends so that it does not count as overstay.
