Our guide to the Indonesia visa from Ghana

Ghanaian nationals need a visa for Indonesia, which they obtain online through the official e-Visa before travelling.

Ghanaian travellers drawn to Bali, the temples of Borobudur or the beaches of Lombok need an Indonesian tourist visa. From Accra or Kumasi the application is filed entirely online on the Directorate General of Immigration's e-Visa portal, with no consulate. A key point for departures from Ghana: a yellow-fever vaccination certificate may be required on entry to Indonesia.

Do you need a visa?

Yes. Ghanaian citizens are not visa-exempt and must obtain a visa before entering Indonesia for tourism. The standard format is the electronic e-Visa, requested online.

How much does an e-visa for Indonesia cost from Ghana?

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.

What documents are required for an e-visa for Indonesia?

Documents required for an e-visa for Indonesia:

Photo
Proof of funds
Return ticket

Documents and fees

Prepare a Ghanaian passport valid for at least six months beyond arrival, a recent photo, a scan of the bio page and an online payment method. A return ticket and proof of accommodation may be requested. As Ghana is a yellow-fever risk area, keep your international vaccination card with you. The fee amount and validity are not confirmed here, check them on the official portal.

Apply on the official site Official portal

How and where to apply

From Ghana, the application is made entirely online at evisa.imigrasi.go.id. You create an account, complete the form, upload your supporting documents and pay the fee by card. The e-Visa then reaches you by email; no visit to an Indonesian embassy is needed from Accra.

Where do you apply for a visa for Indonesia from Ghana?

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 Ghana on another passport?

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

The e-Visa processing time is not guaranteed in our source; file your request several days before the flight out of Ghana. Check that the name and passport number match the document exactly, or boarding may be refused. Keep a printed and a digital copy of the e-Visa throughout the stay.

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

Do not forget the yellow-fever certificate: travelling from Ghana without it risks refused entry. Do not rely on visa on arrival. Finally, avoid intermediaries that overcharge: only evisa.imigrasi.go.id is official.
