Passports & travel

All Indonesia combines immigration, customs, health and quarantine declarations for people arriving from abroad by air or sea, including returning Indonesian citizens and foreign visitors. Complete it from three days before arrival through arrival day and save the QR code. For land borders, check the declaration channel used at your crossing. Since 1 October 2025, every passenger arriving from abroad at an airport or seaport must complete the arrival declaration through All Indonesia. Read the full guide.

M-Paspor supports new Indonesian passport applications and ordinary replacements, appointment selection and payment codes. You still attend Immigration for original-document checks, photographs, biometrics and an interview. Consult the office about lost, damaged or mismatched passports. Read the full guide.

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.

“Nomad visa” is an informal label; check the official E33G second-home remote-worker category. Golden Visa routes include E28B for company establishment and E28C for capital-market investment. Required funds are distinct from the visa fee. E33G lasts one year, costs Rp7,000,000 in government fees and requires income of at least US$60,000 a year from a company outside Indonesia. Golden Visa investor and second-home routes last five or ten years and cost Rp13,000,000 or Rp19,500,000, separate from the investment or deposit, which usually has to be in place within 90 days.

Indonesian travellers must check the destination, travel purpose, passport type and stay length.

A general passenger’s personal goods can receive up to USD500 customs-value relief per person per arrival when declared as required. Customs lists 10% duty on the excess plus 12% VAT on an 11/12 tax base for non-luxury goods. IMEI registration itself is free, but import taxes may still apply. Read the full guide.

Cats and dogs travelling between islands or provinces need a vaccination record, a protective rabies antibody titre result and a veterinary certificate from the provincial or district/city veterinary authority where the trip starts. Report the trip through PTK Online, hand the animal to quarantine officers at the departure airport or port, and report it again on arrival. The quarantine physical-inspection fee for a dog or cat moving between areas is Rp10,000 per animal plus Rp5,000 per certificate, paid with a billing code. Bali's agriculture office still lists the governor's regulation closing entry and exit of dogs, cats and monkeys, so ask Bali Quarantine before planning any trip to or from Bali.

KITAS and KITAP are the cards for Indonesia's limited stay permit (ITAS) and permanent stay permit (ITAP). A first ITAS usually comes from a limited-stay visa applied for through e-Visa; that application also counts as the application for the ITAS and a re-entry permit, and the card is issued in virtual form. Extensions and conversions are filed through Immigration's application and must be paid before the permit expires. Overstaying costs Rp1,000,000 a day for under 60 days; 60 days or more leads to deportation and an entry ban. Read the full guide.

Foreign tourists entering Bali must pay a levy of Rp150,000 per person, cashless and ideally before arrival, through the official Love Bali website or app (lovebali.baliprov.go.id). It is based on Bali Regional Regulation (Perda) 6/2023 as amended by Perda 2/2025, with payment procedures in Bali Governor Regulation (Pergub) 2/2024 as amended by Pergub 25/2025.

KITAS/KITAP holders, diplomatic or official visa holders, transport crew, family-reunion visa holders and student visa holders are exempt without applying; Golden Visa holders and holders of other non-tourist visas must apply for exemption on Love Bali at least five days before arrival. Payments are not refundable, except a duplicate payment for the same arrival date. Read the full guide.

Since September 2025, hajj and umrah have been handled by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah (Kemenhaj), whose official website is haji.go.id, rather than the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Presidential Regulation 92/2025). Pilgrims use an ordinary passport applied for through M-Paspor, must be vaccinated against meningococcal meningitis and polio with an International Certificate of Vaccination (ICV) booked through the Ministry of Health’s SINKARKES system, and should check that the travel agency is licensed as a PPIU (umrah) or PIHK (special hajj) before paying. Problems with an agency can be reported to Kemenhaj’s WhatsApp Center on +62 823 1101 4646 or pengaduan@haji.go.id. Read the full guide.
