Do I need a visa for Indonesia from Bahrain?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Bahraini nationals can obtain a visa on arrival in Indonesia, or buy it online in advance through the e-VOA.
Bahrain benefits from the visa on arrival for Indonesia, so no prior embassy step is required. The visa is taken either on arrival at authorised entry points, or beforehand 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, with easier access for Bahrainis. They come under the visa on arrival (VoA) for a short tourist stay and may, if they prefer, apply for it online in advance (e-VOA) to speed up processing at the airport.
How and where to apply
The Bahraini traveller chooses between paying the visa on arrival at the immigration counter of authorised airports and ports, or completing the e-VOA on evisa.imigrasi.go.id before departure. In the latter case, the electronic authorisation is shown at boarding and on arrival.
Documents and fees
Carry a passport valid for at least six months, a return or onward ticket and proof of accommodation. The fee for both the visa on arrival and the e-VOA is displayed on the official portal — check it for the current amount, which is not stated here.
Processing and tips
The e-VOA is obtained online before the flight, so allow a margin to receive the authorisation. Make sure your airport or port of entry does issue the visa on arrival and keep the payment confirmation for the check.
Common mistakes
Do not mistake the visa on arrival for a full visa exemption. Avoid an insufficiently valid passport, forgetting an exit ticket, and overstaying the period allowed by the VoA.
