Do I need a visa for Indonesia from Ghana?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
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. A visa on arrival exists at some airports such as Denpasar, but an e-Visa prepared in advance secures boarding.
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.
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.
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.
Common mistakes
Do not forget the yellow-fever certificate: travelling from Ghana without it risks refused entry. Do not automatically rely on visa on arrival, limited to certain entry points. Finally, avoid intermediaries that overcharge: only evisa.imigrasi.go.id is official.
