Do I need a visa for Indonesia from Bulgaria?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Bulgarian nationals can obtain a visa on arrival in Indonesia, or secure it in advance through the online e-VOA.
Bulgaria falls under the visa-on-arrival regime for Indonesia, so no visa need be arranged beforehand at an embassy. Travellers can take it on arrival at authorised entry points, or in advance as an e-VOA on the official portal of the Directorate General of Immigration. The passport must be valid for at least six months.
Do you need a visa?
Yes, but Bulgarians have simplified access. They qualify for the visa on arrival (VoA) for a short tourist stay, with the option to apply for it online beforehand (e-VOA) to save time at the airport.
How and where to apply
The Bulgarian traveller has two routes: pay the visa on arrival at the immigration desk of authorised airports and ports, or complete the e-VOA on evisa.imigrasi.go.id before departure and present the authorisation received electronically. The second option avoids arrival queues.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for at least six months, an onward or return ticket and proof of accommodation. The amount for the visa on arrival and the e-VOA is shown on the official portal — check there for the current fee, which is not stated here.
Processing and tips
The e-VOA is usually processed online before the flight; apply early enough to receive the authorisation in time. Confirm that your entry point is among those issuing the visa on arrival and keep the payment receipt.
Common mistakes
Do not confuse the visa on arrival with fully visa-free entry. Avoid a passport with less than six months' validity, the absence of a return ticket, and overstaying the period allowed by the VoA.
