Indonesia visa on arrival for citizens of Canada: conditions and fees 2026

Yes. Canadian citizens are not part of Indonesia's visa-free tourist list, so a visa is required for a vacation or brief business trip. The most straightforward option is the electronic visa on arrival (e-VoA), requested online before you leave Canada. Canadians can alternatively obtain the visa on arrival in person at Indonesia's official airports and seaports.

Canadian applicants typically need a passport valid for six months or more with a blank page, a recent photo, proof of return or onward travel and a card to cover the e-VoA fee. Indonesian immigration sets and periodically adjusts the fee, permitted stay and validity, so check the current figures on the official portal before paying. Ignore third-party sites that bundle in extra service charges.

Canadians apply on the government portal evisa.imigrasi.go.id and generally do not need to visit the Indonesian Embassy in Ottawa or a consulate for a standard tourist e-VoA. You register, upload your passport photo page and a compliant image, then pay the fee with an international credit or debit card. For work, study or longer visits, the Embassy in Ottawa is the correct authority for the right visa type.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Canada 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.

e-Visa approvals usually come through quickly, but no guaranteed timeframe is published, so apply a few days ahead given the long journey from Canada. Print the approval and store a copy on your phone to show at immigration. Make sure your point of arrival is on Indonesia's official list of e-VoA-eligible entry points before you book flights.

Canadians frequently trip over passport validity, arriving with under six months remaining and facing denied boarding. Overstaying the authorized period or using a tourist visa for paid work are further errors that bring fines or removal. And since fraudulent copycat sites are widespread, apply and verify the fee only at evisa.imigrasi.go.id.
