Our guide to the Indonesia visa from Bhutan
Bhutanese nationals need a visa to travel to Indonesia. It is obtained online as an electronic visa (e-Visa) that must be arranged before departure.
Bhutan is not among the nationalities exempt from visas for Indonesia, so Bhutanese travellers must secure an e-Visa before heading to Jakarta or Bali. The application is entirely online, which is convenient given there is no Indonesian mission in Bhutan. Apply in good time, as the exact fee and processing time depend on the official portal.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. As a Bhutanese citizen you must hold a visa to enter Indonesia, including for a tourist stay. The standard route is the e-Visa applied for online before travel; do not count on visa on arrival, which is limited to certain nationalities. Treat it as a mandatory preparation step.

Also check any health entry requirements if your route passes through a risk area.

Where do you apply for a visa for Indonesia from Bhutan?
An e-visa for Indonesia is filed entirely online: there is no counter to visit and no file to hand in. The only address that matters is the official portal.
- The application, the supporting documents and the payment all go through the official portal, from any country.
- Lookalike sites copy the portal’s name and layout, then resell the same application with a margin. Check the domain before you type in a passport number.
- The authorisation arrives by email. Keep a printed copy, some airlines ask for it at boarding.
Using an online service
You never have to use an intermediary. If you would rather have a service fill in and file the application online for you before departure, iVisa does it for a service fee, charged on top of the official fees. It does not change the decision.

You live in Bhutan on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Bhutan but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Processing and tips
Processing time depends on the portal and is not guaranteed; check evisa.imigrasi.go.id for a current estimate. Since flights from Bhutan connect through a regional hub, submit the application several days before departure. Make sure the entered information matches your passport and keep the payment confirmation.
Before you fly, and at the border
Passport validity, border checks, minors, overstays: the rules common to every trip are gathered on our travel tips page. Formalities before you leave
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not travel assuming visa on arrival: without a valid e-Visa, boarding may be refused. Do not use intermediary sites adding surcharges when the official application is on evisa.imigrasi.go.id. Check passport validity (at least 6 months) and the visa type you chose before confirming.
