Our guide to the Indonesia visa from Cape Verde
Cape Verdean nationals must obtain a visa before travelling to Indonesia. The application is made online through the official e-Visa.
From the Cape Verde archipelago, Indonesia is not a visa-free destination: travellers from Praia and the other islands must arrange their authorisation in advance. The online e-Visa is a convenient alternative to a consular process, which is often distant given the lack of an Indonesian mission locally. The visa covers arrival at the usual airports and ports such as Bali or Jakarta.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. A Cape Verdean citizen needs a visa to enter Indonesia, to be obtained before the trip. The electronic e-Visa is the recommended route.
How much does an e-visa for Indonesia cost from Cape Verde?
1,000,000 IDR
Official government fee only. Providers and visa centres add their own service charge on top.
What does a visa for Indonesia really cost?
The published fee is the government charge alone. Two or three other lines are added before the visa is in the passport, and they are what makes the final bill.
- Government fee1,000,000 IDR
Paid to the state, non-refundable if the visa is refused.
- Agency or online serviceOptional, added on top
Never compulsory. An intermediary fills the form for you, it does not change the decision or the processing time.
We only display amounts published by an official source. Confirm the total before paying anything.

Where do you apply for a visa for Indonesia from Cape Verde?
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 Cape Verde on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Cape Verde 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.

How long does an e-visa for Indonesia take?
4-5 business days
Indicative time, counted from a complete file. Peak season can be longer.
Processing and tips
Allow several working days for processing and plan ahead all the more since travel logistics from the islands can be tight. Make sure the details entered mirror your passport exactly and keep the approved visa in both digital and printed form.
Before you fly, and at the border
- Passport validity: most countries require the passport to stay valid beyond the return date, and the margin required differs from one destination to the next. Check it on the official source, and count from your return, not from your departure.
- A visa is not a right of entry. The border officer decides, and may ask for a return ticket, an address or proof of funds even when everything is in order.
- Conditional exemptions exist: several countries waive the visa for holders of a valid visa or residence permit from a third country. This depends on the destination and on the document, and we do not publish that rule when our sources do not carry it. The official page does.
- Minors travelling alone or with one parent are often asked for extra papers, typically a parental authorisation and the family record. Ask the post before booking.
- Overstaying is not a formality. It exposes you to a fine, to removal, and to an entry ban that can outlast the trip by years, including for the whole area when the destination belongs to one.
Common mistakes
Typical pitfalls are a passport with insufficient remaining validity, a wrongly formatted photo, and relying on a visa on arrival. Use only the official portal and not intermediaries that add extra charges.
