General Information
To gain entry into Indonesia, foreign
nationals need to have in their
possession passports with at least
six months of validity and appropriate
visas.
Visa application is carried out
at the Indonesian Embassies or Consulates
overseas nearest to the applicants'
domicile. The application is made
by filling out appropriate application
forms - available from the Embassies
or Consulates - and by enclosing
2 color passport-size photographs
and a valid passport, along with
supporting documents depending on
the types of visa to be applied.
Please note that the passport submitted
has to have at least six (6) months
of validity at the proposed date
of entry into Indonesia.
A fee is payable in local currencies
for the visa application, depending
on the type of visa and the duration
of stay. Please note that the fee
should only be paid in cash or by
postal order and is non-refundable.
Queries regarding the amount of
the visa fee should be referred
to the Embassy/Consulate where the
visa application is filed.
Decisions on many of the types of
visa applications are normally made
within 24 hours. Certain applications,
such as those to work, study or
live in Indonesia and other applications
that need a special permit from
the Immigration Office in Indonesia,
need to be referred to Jakarta for
approval. This process can take
up to two months before a decision
is made and the visa granted.
Visa that has been issued is valid
for 90 days. If an applicant fails
to enter Indonesia within the 90
days period after the visa is issued,
the visa will be declared invalid.
Please note that possession of a
visa does not guarantee entry into
Indonesia. Permission to enter Indonesia
is the authorization of the Immigration
Officer at the point of entry.
