Do I need a visa for Indonesia from Belgium?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Belgian passport holders travelling to Indonesia for tourism need a visa, but it is obtained online: the standard route is the Indonesian e-Visa (e-VoA) applied for through the official portal before departure.
Belgium is one of the many European nationalities that Indonesia admits under its electronic visa system rather than visa-free entry. Belgian citizens flying into Bali, Jakarta or other gateways can complete the whole process from home via evisa.imigrasi.go.id, and some major airports still offer a visa on arrival as a fallback. Your Belgian passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date.
Do Belgians need a visa for Indonesia?
Yes. Belgian nationals are not on Indonesia's short visa-free list for tourism, so a visa is required for a leisure or short business trip. The most convenient option is the electronic visa on arrival (e-VoA), requested online before you fly. Belgians who prefer can still obtain the visa on arrival at designated international airports and seaports, but arranging the e-Visa in advance avoids queues.
How and where Belgians apply
Applications are made directly on Indonesia's official portal at evisa.imigrasi.go.id — there is no need to visit the Indonesian Embassy in Brussels for a standard tourist e-Visa. You create an account, upload your passport bio-data page and a photo, and pay by international card. For visa categories beyond tourism, or if you need advice, the Embassy of Indonesia in Brussels remains the official reference.
Documents and fees
Belgian applicants typically need a passport valid at least six months with a blank page, a recent passport-style photo, proof of onward or return travel and, for the e-VoA, a card to pay the government fee. The exact fee and the visa's validity and length of stay are set by Indonesian immigration and can change, so confirm the current figures on the official portal. Do not rely on third-party sites that add service charges.
Processing time and tips
Processing of the e-Visa is usually quick, but times are not guaranteed, so apply several days before departure rather than at the last minute. Save and print the approval, and carry a copy on your phone to show at immigration. Check whether your point of entry is among those officially designated for e-VoA holders.
Common mistakes to avoid
The most frequent error is arriving with a passport that has under six months' validity, which can lead to boarding being refused. Belgians also sometimes overstay the permitted period or assume the tourist visa can be used for paid work — both carry fines or worse. Finally, only use evisa.imigrasi.go.id and verify fees there, as look-alike commercial sites are common.
